Abstract
To provide a catalyst for production of a biodiesel fuel, which is capable of producing a biodiesel fuel with high selectivity, at a high yield, and at a low cost even in the presence of a water content and a free fatty acid, and a biodiesel fuel production method using the catalyst. Use of a titanium-containing mesoporous silica containing Ti and Si as skeleton constituent elements and having a pore diameter of 5 nm or greater as a transesterification catalyst enables a biodiesel fuel to be produced with high selectivity at a high yield through transesterification between an oil and an alcohol.
