Abstract:The purposes of the work to study the fatty acid methyl ester production by transesterification of Jatropha curcus oil with different catalysts where methanol was used as solvent. Jatropha oil having high free fatty acids FFA (14.02%) was processed in two steps. First step is acidcatalyzed esterification by using 1% H 2 SO 4 , 40% methanol-to-oil to produce methyl esters by lowering the acid value, and next step is different base-catalyzed transesterification. As part of ongoing efforts to investigate differen… Show more
“…The oil content of Jatropha curcas is about 30–45% [ 45 ]. As the free fatty acids (FFA) of Jatropha oil is 14.02% [ 46 ]. Ethanol extractions from jatropha husk and jatropha stem are 0.14 L/kg and 0.20 L/kg, respectively [ 47 ].…”
