Laboratory results show that around 29 kg of seeds can produce 1 liter of crude oil.

How to produce biodiesel from jatropha. Biodiesel can be obtained from vegetable oils both edible and non-edible and from animal fat. An average biodiesel yield of 96 was obtained in an up-scaled biodiesel plant of TNAU. It is having a significant characteristic of blooming and fruiting without using enough moisture in tropical regions.

Transesterification-ion reaction is carried out in a batch reactor. Then biodiesel is washed three times with waterto remove impurities like sodium etc. The Department of Bio-energy Tamil Nadu Agricultural University TNAU has studied different variations of methanol sodium hydroxide reaction time and reaction temperature to optimize the process conditions for maximum biodiesel yield for alkali-catalyzed transesterification of jatropha oil.

On the other hand alkaline methanol is prepared by dissolving 10 grams of Sodium Hydroxide pellets in about 200 ml of methanol for every one kg of oil. In this study the base catalyzed transesterification is selected as the process to make biodiesel from Jatropha oil. To produce biodiesel product.

For reproduction purposes harvest the fruits when already yellow to. Farmers may receive minimal benefits from large-scale jatropha biodiesel production if they simply compete for jobs on large plantations or produce seeds under contract to private processors. In esterification process the FFA was successfully.

The biodiesel extraction process involves the use of machines to extract the oil from the seed. One of the most cost effective sources of biodiesel is Jatropha curcas. Jatropha curcas Linnaeus a multipurpose plant contains high amount of oil in its seeds which can be.

In this study the biodiesel oil was produced by Jatropha Curcas Oil JCO through two stages process. In different countries it is blended with. In other words the desired rural ec onomic benefits may not be achieved by through the simple introduction of jatropha production to local communities.
