An optimized method in the transesterification of cooked oil to biodiesel based on microwave dielectric irradiation as a driving force for the transesterification reaction and SrO as a catalyst. This combination has demonstrated excellent catalytic activity and stability. The transesterification was carried out with and without stirring. According to H NMR spectroscopy and TLC results, this combination accelerates the reaction, maintaining a very high conversion and high efficiency. The optimum method decrease the cost of biodiesel production and has potential for industrial application in the transesterification of cooked oil to biodiesel that considered an energy efficient and environmentally friendly source.
