Weiwei Liu

Abstract

A study was made to prepare biodiesel from Jatropha Curcasl oil by esterification in gaseous state and transesterification.The result of trials indicated that in the esterification the acid number of material can meet the requirmant of acid number for transesterification,the optimal conditions for the transesterification of Jatropha Curcasl oil are as follows: 15%~20% methanol(wt%) and 1% KOH(wt%) of Jatropha Curcasl oil,reaction temperature 60~70℃ and reaction time 120min.
