“…The attractive characteristics of J. curcas include its expected lifespan of 50 years and its broad climatic tolerance, covering zones with annual precipitation between 250 and 1200 mm (Achten et al, 2008). Moreover, production of J. curcas oil does not entail competition with food crops, because its oil is nonedible (Tiwari et al, 2007;Islam et al, 2014) and this is one of the effective ways to overcome the problems associated with energy crisis and environmental issues (Ong et al, 2013). Its seeds may contain 11.7 to 42.1% oil depending on soil type and environmental conditions (Kaushik and Bahrdway, 2013), which makes it very promising for the production of biodiesel (Kheira et al, 2009).…”

To investigate drought-induced changes in morphophysiological characteristics, seedlings of two genotypes of Jatropha curcas (CNPAE 183 and CNPAE 191) were grown under two watering regimes: irrigated (-33.1 to 13.5 to kPa) and water deficit (-409.5 to 49.5 to kPa) for 55 days, followed by six days of rehydration (DAR). Withholding water led to a significant reduction (p<0.05) of leaf water potential (Ψ W ) and an increase in relative water content (RWC). The values of net photosynthetic rate (P N ), stomatal conductance to water vapor (g S ) and transpiration (E) were significantly (p<0.05) reduced 21 and 34 days after starting treatment (DAST) in plants of genotypes CNPAE 183 and CNPAE 191, respectively. After 6 DAR, only CNPAE 191 achieved a recovery of P N and E. Moreover, significantly (p<0.05) lower g S was measured in recovering plants of both genotypes, as compared to the controls. Drought stress led to reductions of 57 and 65% in whole-plant hydraulic conductance (K L ) in genotypes CNPAE 183 and CNPAE 191, respectively. Full recovery of K L was observed after 6 DAR. The average water consumption was 18% lower in plants subjected to water shortage, as compared to irrigated plants. However, drought-induced reduction in growth led to lower biomass water use efficiency (WUE biomass ) in plants subjected to water deficit. The effect of water stress was more intense in CNPAE 183 than in CNPAE 191, regarding the growth variables (leaf area, height and diameter), dry mass and root volume. Moreover, a delay in the effect of water stress in genotype CNPAE 191 was also observed, which suggests a higher tolerance of this genotype as compared to CNPAE 183. Altogether, the results showed strong drought-induced stomatal limitation of carbon assimilation and growth in J. curcas. Slight genotypic differences were detected, CNPAE 191 being less sensitive to the imposed experimental conditions than CNPAE 183.

“…Reaction time mostly depends on the amount of catalyst, alcohol being introduced to the system and operating temperature. Reaction with shorter time to reach equilibrium conversion is better compared to those who are taking way too long to reach equilibrium [5,7]. To find the optimal reaction time for the esterification, the time course of the reaction was plotted, as depicted in Figure 6.…”

The exploration of non-edible oils as a feedstock has been positively affect the economic viability of biodiesel production. Due to the high level of free fatty acid (FFA) in non-edible oils, esterification is needed to remove the acidity to the minimum level before base-catalyzed transesterification. In this study, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate (HMIMHSO4) was self-synthesized and compared with the commercialized ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate (BMIMHSO4). HMIMHSO4 and BMIMHSO4 were characterized by 1 H NMR prior to use in the esterification reaction. The reaction was carried out in a batch reactor and variables such as types of alcohol, oil: alcohol molar ratio, temperature and types of stirring were investigated. The highest conversion for each catalyst was achieved using ethanol as a solvent at the condition of 343 K reaction temperature, 12:1 alcohol to oil ratio in 8 h reaction time. BMIMHSO4 showed higher conversion (98%) as compared to HMIMHSO4 with only 82% conversion. Clearly, BMIMHSO4 shows considerable potential to reduce the FFA in the feedstock as it is exhibit excellent catalytic activity due to lower alkyl chain of BMIMHSO4 compared to HMIMHSO4.
