One possible method to produce biodiesel from waste oils (characterized by high concentrations of Free Fatty Acids, FFA), is the use of a two step process: an esterification reaction of FFA and a subsequent transesterification reaction with methanol of the whole mixture using a basic catalyst. In this review, we report the most important results and the still open challenges in relation to esterification reactions in the presence of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts.
