Procedure

In FIG. 6A, the results of using Zn3La1 in esterifying pure oleic acid with methanol using the step-rise heating method (i.e., a heating rate of 2° C./minute, and holding the reaction mixture at the target temperature for 1 minute) is provided. When the temperature is higher than 140° C., Zn3La1 shows activity in regards to the esterification of FAA. At 200° C., a 96% yield of oleic acid methyl ester can be obtained in 10 minutes (see FIG. 6B).
