| Description |
Biodiesel, fatty acid methyl ester produced by the transesterification of vegetable oil with methanol, is a
promising alternative to petroleum-based diesel fuel. In the present study, the methanolysis of high free fatty acid (FFA)
Jatropha curcas oil in a transesterification reaction using K2 CO3 /CaO solid base catalyst was studied. The various
reaction parameters in the transesterification reaction were also discussed. The catalyst was characterized by means of
Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed desorption of CO2 , scanning electron microscopy, particle size analyzer, true density, and surface area analyzer. The optimum conversion of jatropha oil was 92% when the transesterification reaction was carried out at 70 ◦ C with 10:1 molar ratio of methanol to oil at reaction time of 3 hand catalyst amount of 6 wt%. The efficiency of catalysts in the methanolysis of jatropha oil was also investigated.
