Abstract :
Biodiesel has received a lot of attention and is
gaining popularity as a green alternative to fossil diesel
all over the world as fossil diesel have a negative impact
on the environment, producing global warming, air
pollution, and fossil fuel depletion. One of the most
promising alternatives to conventional fossil fuels is the
use of liquid fuels such as biodiesel made from Jatropha
oil through a transesterification process. Because
biodiesel has low emission profiles and environmentally
favourable characteristics, as well as being non-toxic and
non-flammable, it can readily be used as a substitute for
fossil diesel. The generation of biodiesel from jatropha oil
is the subject of this study. Biodiesel can be made from
both edible and non-edible vegetable oils, as well as
animal fat. The extraction of oil, pretreatment,
transesterification, and separation processes in the
manufacturing process of biodiesel from jatropha seeds
are all described in this paper. The qualities of jatropha
oil, such as flash point, specific gravity, and boiling point,
and the parameters related to the jatropha plant, such as
genetics, growth factors, plant nutrition, site parameters,
botanical features, flowering and fruiting habits, and
ecological requirements, are all studied.
Transesterification is the process of reacting alcohol and
oil to give biodiesel and glycerol. This process is also
affected by some of the parameters, like reaction time, the
molar ratio of alcohol and oil, reaction temperature, and
moisture content.
