Abstract Jatropha curcas Linnaeus (Jatropha curcas L.) seeds have been found to be an
ideal sustainable and low-cost source of catalyst and oil feedstock for biodiesel production …

Biodiesel (fatty acids alkyl esters) is a promising alternative fuel to replace petroleum-based
diesel that is obtained from renewable sources such as vegetable oil, animal fat and waste …

Jatropha curcas L. has recently been hailed as the promising feedstock for biodiesel
production as it does not compete with food sources. Conventional production of biodiesel …

Recently, jatropha curcas methyl ester (biodiesel) as a potential substitute to petrol diesel
has prompted many researchers around the world to carry out extensive investigation. This …

The demand for petroleum has risen rapidly due to increasing industrialization and
modernization of the world. This economic development has led to a huge demand for …

Jatropha curcas (JTC) oil, an inedible vegetable oil, can be a substitute feedstock for
traditional food crops in the production of environment friendly and renewable fuel …

The objective of this study was to investigate solvent extraction and in situ transesterification
in a single step to allow direct production of biodiesel from jatropha seeds. Experiments …

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 …

Biodiesel has gained worldwide popularity as an alternative energy source due to its
renewable, non‐toxic, biodegradable and non‐flammable properties. It also has low …

Transesterification reaction of Jatropha curcas oil with methanol was carried out in the
presence of ash generated from Palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) in a heterogeneous catalyzed …
