Abstract: Magnetic catalysts are a new class of catalysts which have magnetic response characteristics. For the advantages of high catalytic activity, good selectivity and magnetic sensitivity, magnetic catalysts have overcome the difficulty of separation for nanocatalysts and become outstanding esterification catalysts in biodiesel production. In this paper, the structure properties of magnetic nanocatalysts are illustrated and the application of magnetic nanocatalysts in biodiesel production is reviewed. The problems and the direction of further research are also put forwarded.

Key words: biodiesel, magnetic nanocatalysts, solid acid, solid base
