AlPO4 catalysts supported with WO3 were prepared by impregnating the catalysts with ammonium
metatungstate. The catalysts were checked by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), AFM, and SEM; also, the catalysts analysis was
done by X-Ray (EDX). Finally, the N2 adsorption-desorption was used to measure the pore volume and surface area of
the catalyst. The prepared catalyst has a surface area of 185.83 m2/g, pore volume of 0.645 cm3/g at a calcination
temperature of 500°C for 3 hrs, and particle size of AlPO4 with an average of 35.36 nm. Transesterification of edible oil
using WO3/AlPO4 was performed, it was observed that WO3/AlPO4 catalysts give high conversion of edible oil, and this
is attributed to the high surface area, smaller particle size, and the
