| Description |
The purpose of the present study was to reduce
the cost and increase the efficiency of biodiesel production
by reactive extraction (in situ) of Jatropha seeds. Oil from
the seeds was extracted and reacted in a single step.
Experimental studies have been carried out to maximize
the yield of biodiesel by varying the reaction parameters
viz. seed size «0.85 rnrn to >2.46 mrn), seed/solvent
ratio (w/w) (I :2.6·-1 :7.8) and catalyst concentration
(0.05-0.1 M). Under the optimized conditions: seed size
(>2.46 mrn), seed/solvent ratio (w/w) (I :7.8), catalyst
concentration (0.1 M) and reaction time I h, approximately
98% conversion to biodiesel was achieved meeting
International (ASTM) as well as National (ElS) specifications.
The results were supported by HPLC analysis.
