Biodiesel Production From Jatropha Curcas L. Oil Using Supercritical Methyl Acetate And Methanol Process

Biodiesel synthesized from non-edible oil of Jatropha curcas L. (Jatropha) oil offers several advantages compared with edible oil such as it does not compete with food resources. However, Jatropha oil consists of high free fatty acids content, hence, the production of biodiesel through conventional...
