  • How to improve bio-oil production from Egyptian castor seeds?
  • Also, Egyptian castor is one of the most important crops for oil production compared with other commonly used oil crops. The main aim of this study is to enhance the production of bio-oil from Egyptian castor seeds by using microwave and ultrasonic as pre-treatments.
  • How to extract bio-oil from castor seeds?
  • The bio-oil was extracted from the Egyptian castor seeds by a screw press without pre-treatments and pre-treatments were accomplished using Microwave and ultrasonic pretreatments to enhance the production of bio-oil from castor seeds. The schematic diagram in Fig. 1 shows the sequence of oil extraction by screw press from castor seeds.
  • Where do Egyptian castor seeds come from?
  • Egyptian castor seeds were obtained from a privet farm in Sinai Governorate. Castor seeds have been used under the permission of Benha University regulations. Plant materials are complied with the local and national regulations. A lipid analysis was performed showing the percentage of oil in the seeds.
  • How is castor oil extracted?
  • Castor oil seed contains about 30%¨C50% oil (m/m). 74, 75 Castor oil can be extracted from castor beans by either mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or a combination of pressing and extraction. 74 After harvesting, the seeds are allowed to dry so that the seed hull will split open, releasing the seed inside.
  • Is Castor a sustainable source of biodiesel?
  • Castor is considered a sustainable source of biodiesel as the production cost of castor seeds is production of castor seeds is less than that of jatropha, soybean and rapeseed 5, 7, 10. Oil is extracted by several methods such as mechanical, chemical and enzymatic methods.
  • Which country produces the most castor oil?
  • India is known as the world leader in castor seed and oil production and leads the international castor oil trade. Castor oil production in this country usually fluctuates between 250,000 and 350,000 tons per year. Approximately 86% of castor seed production in India is concentrated in Gujarat, followed by Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.
