An environmentally friendly surface modification method was applied to synthesize solid acid catalyst suitable for biodiesel production. The catalyst was prepared from multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-MPTMS) oxidized in hydrogen peroxide under supercritical...
