  • Is Jatropha curcas suitable for biodiesel production?
  • Among various oil bearing seeds, Jatropha curcas has been found more suitable for biodiesel production as it has been developed scientifically to give better yield and productivity . This non-edible oil is explored as a source for biodiesel production without compromising the food industry , .
  • How long does it take to make biodiesel from Jatropha curcas oil?
  • About 95% of Jatropha biodiesel was obtained after 120 min. Syam et al. have also developed a two step process for generating biodiesel from Jatropha curcas oil which contains a very high level of free fatty acids.
  • Can heterogeneous catalysts be used for transesterification of soybean and Jatropha curcas oils?
  • This work reported new experimental data on the transesterification of soybean and Jatropha curcas oils using heterogeneous catalysts. Results show that the use of KSF clay and Amberlyst 15 as catalysts may be promising, as around 70 wt% of FAME yield was obtained at relatively mild conditions and short reaction times.
  • How to produce biodiesel?
  • The production of oil seeds, Transesterification of vegetable oils with short-chain alcohols is used to produce biodiesel. In the biodiesel. Under optimum condition, at molar ratio 1:6 in the presence of 0.5% NaOH and 60°C reaction temperature and 350 rpm approximately 99.1% biodiesel yield was obtained.
  • Is biodiesel competing for resources with the food industry?
  • Currently, the most common feedstock for biodiesel production is edible oils such as soybean, rapeseed, canola, sunflower, palm, coconut and also corn oil. However, this practice has raised objections from various organizations, claiming that biodiesel is competing for resources with the food industry.
  • What oils are used in biodiesel production?
  • Fatty acid methyl ester There are different types of oils and fats that may be used as feedstocks for biodiesel production. These include various oils such as babassu, canola, coconut, cottonseed, jatropha, linseed, olive, palm, peanut, rapeseed, safflower, soybean, and sunflower.
