The silica titania catalyst has been synthesized by solid state method and characterized by FTIR and DR UV-Vis to investigate the formation of Si-O-Ti bond from Si and Ti precursors. The synthesized silica-titania catalyst has been applied for biodiesel production with variation of catalyst mass to oil as to be 1%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9%. The biodiesel products have been examined for their physical properties such as density, flow rate, and acid number. The percentage of conversion obtained to be 91% for waste cooking oil (1.33% FFA) and 33.33% for palm oil (0.374% FFA). The finding is justified that silica-titania catalyst has active acid site formed through Si-O-Ti bonding.
