Re: [Biofuel] jatropha bio-diesel
Hi Gorvans The oil from rape seed and palm have glycerol linked fatty acids and hence need methanol or etanol to get way glyerine and make BioD which is an ester of acids with alcohol and thus need reator , catalysts, washing , purification and energy to mix all etc. The oil obtained from Jataropha plant is natural BIOD , that can be used directly by enegine , but need filteration. You can see more informationfrom the following link.

Re: [Biofuel] jatropha bio-diesel
What is jatropha ? Do you have another name for it ? Do you know the fatty acid composition ?

[biofuel] Jatropha bio diesel
This is already being done by a chap in Australia using the Jatropha oil. http://www.bebioenergy.com/biodiesel.htm It is reported as being every bit as good and even superior to petro diesel. many of the questions asked concerning jatropha are answered there. Of course, being a bit biased, I recommend http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html as a one stop shop for all your production needs :) Have a nice day. --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, "theo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We are very interested in producing bio diesel from jatropha. > > What is confusing to us is that one source will indicate that bio diesel is > as efficient as normal diesel and another source will say that you have 15% > loss.
