How to improve biodiesel production from Jatropha seeds oil?

Microwave and ultrasonic pretreatments are the most commonly used pretreatments in oil extraction for seeds. The main aim of this work is to enhance the biodiesel production from Jatropha seeds oil. The main experiment was carried out in National Research Centre, Giza, Egypt. During summer season of 2022.

Why is jatropha oil important for biodiesel production in Egypt?

Jatropha oil is an important source for biodiesel production in Egypt as sustainable product due to it can be grown in different conditions and is renewable oil that is not competitive with the food market 14. In addition to, the alkyl ester of JCO meets biodiesel standards in many countries 15.

Can semi-arid conditions maximize jatropha oil production?

Despite its great potential, however, many projects failed to reach commercially viable seed and oil yields. The aim of the study was to provide globally applicable solutions for maximization of Jatropha oil production under semi-arid conditions.

How was oil extracted from Egyptian Jatropha seeds?
