Abstract - Biodiesel amalgamate with silver doped nickel and calcium blended oxide catalyst & soybean oil. Alkaline earth metal calcium and the use of nickel blended oxide integrated and optimized throughout a blending process that after silver doped in differing percentages to research the outcome of prepared catalysts on the change oil to FAME. Catalytic characteristics such as surface area, energy band difference, crystallinity, morphology, and the composition of prepared samples explored utilizing different BET, FTIR, XRD, SEM, and EDX methods. Silver doped 20 percent NiO-CaO blended oxide catalyst defined with a distinctive weight percentage of silver 2wt percent Ag found to be most viable with 80 percent transformation of oil. The optimized response variable for the change of biodiesel was alcohol to oil proportion 15:1, response temperature 64oC, and catalytic converter stacking 05wt percent. This prepared catalyst has added significance as a blended catalyst for biodiesel generation.
