Improvement of the production of bio-oil and biodiesel from
Jatropha seeds were pressed at three speeds of 60, 90 and 120 rpm and four extraction temperatures of 60, 80, 100 and 120 °C. The oil yield weight and energy were measured for each treatment by
Jatropha, as a biofuel crop, has been claimed to have many desirable characteristics such as rapid growth, easy propagation, drought tolerance, insect and pest resistance, and particularly seeds with high oil content (27–40%) and desired quality for biodiesel and biokerosene fuel production (Pandey et al. 2012; Dias et al. 2012; Edrisi et al. 2015; DIBER 2017).
Jatropha: The biofuel that bombed seeks a path to redemption
At the start of the 2000s, the search for a “miracle” biofuel led to a stubby Latin American tree. But jatropha’s boom went bust when high yields and big eco benefits failed to materialize
The seeds of jatropha consist of 30–35% of oil which can later be transformed into biodiesel with favorable via transesterification production process (Foidl et al. 1996). However, the actual potential of jatropha is still under the covers but there has been a lot of improvement in the conditions in the recent past for taking or using its

Jatropha cultivation is profitable if seed yields are > 2000–2500 kg ha −1 year −1, with reliable markets for selling its by-products, such as seed cake and glycerine . A study conducted in Rwanda using the net present value (NPV) and benefit–cost ratio (BCR) revealed that Jatropha cultivation is not economically viable, due to high
The disadvantages of seed oil from Jatropha curas and castor beans include the fact that its content is a toxic substance, manual collection is required, and the seed-oil is very expensive [131
Performance and emission of extracted biodiesel from mixed
Jatropha biodiesel has a lower viscosity, while Castor biodiesel has a higher yield compared to each other. Thus, the mixed Jatropha-Castor seeds could guarantee efficient combustion with sustainable yield. In this paper, the performance and emission of the extracted biodiesel from mixed Jatropha-Castor seeds were investigated.
The oil from the seeds has valuable properties such as a low acidity, good stability as compared to soybean oil, low viscosity as compared to castor oil and better cold properties as compared to palm oil. Besides, Jatropha oil has higher a cetane number compared to diesel which makes it a good alternative fuel with no modifications required in
Chapter 16 Jatropha: From Seed to Plant, Seed, Oil, and Beyond
Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is a multipurpose non-edible oil yielding semi-woody perennial tree (Fig. 16.1), originated in Central America (Divakara et al. 2010; DIBER 2017). Presently, it occurs throughout the tropics and sub-tropics (Heller 1996) and adapted to a variety of rainfall and edaphic conditions (Francis.
When jatropha oil is extracted from seeds using a supercritical fluid extraction process, then 100% oil yield is obtained. The only drawback of this extraction process is the high cost. The mechanical screw press is the best alternative in this regard due to the low cost of the process and no solvent requirement.
