Abstract: This paper gives a comprehensive statement about the production processes of biodiesel production from Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed oil using alkali catalysis,solid acid catalysis and bio-enzymatic catalysis methods. Alkali catalysis method was widely used as a mature industrial way with fast reaction and low cost. However,it causes a heavy environmental pollution.Solid acid catalysis method was characterized by fast reaction,low temperature,no environmental pollution. Its catalyzer and cosolvent can be used repeatedly. Bio-enzymatic catalysis method was not sensitive to free fatty acid and water. It needs low alcohol without environmental pollution,but high cost,slow reaction were required. The limiting factors and advices on biodiesel industry were pointed out.

Key words: Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed oil, biodiesel, alkali catalysis method, solid acid catalysis method, bio-enzymatic catalysis method
