In this work,was studied catalysts based on CaO/CuFe₂O₄. The catalyst showed catalytic performance of 85% in the model transesterification reaction and 32,8% betewen soybean oil/ethanol. The stability showed that these can be used for up to 6 cycles of reaction and that Ca²⁺leached does not catalyzed the reaction in homogeneous medium.
