Biodiesel production or synthesis by non-edible oils has been introduced recently due to its potential to overcome the problems associated with first generation of feedstock, especially the competition between food and transport biofuel. The production of this non-edible resource could be done without major investment and benefit many parties involved: agricultural sector, job creator, biodiversity, and many other benefits. Microwave-assisted technique has been found as one of the methods that has the potential to be a highlight due to its ability to reduce the cost production and produce higher quality biodiesel as well. This method has been identified to enhanced and accelerate the transesterification process in order to obtain higher yields in the biodiesel synthesis. Continuous process in the other hand seems to be more significant when compared to batch solution. This review is an attempt to gather and summarize the existing literature and study the natural heterogeneous catalyst as one of the green and economic methods using microwave irradiation method.

Iron loaded activated carbon (IAC) was used as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for generating hydroxyl (via Fenton reactions) and sulphate radicals (via persulphate oxidation), and it tested for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) from a water medium.
