About this document

Research Article Ethanolysis of Jatropha Oil and Process Optimization by Curtis Santos is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Production of biodiesel with bio-ethanol is relatively little more complex than using chemical methanol. Process parameters such as catalyst concentration, reaction time and temperature have been optimized. The highest yield 82.3% was observed with 3.0% catalyst concentration. However the corresponding viscosity of jatropha ethyl ester was observed 7. CSt, which is not in acceptable range as per the BIS standards.
