Biodiesel production from Jatropha curcas seed in batch reactor using microwave catalyzed by zeolite catalyst

The purpose of present study is direct production of biodiesel from Jatropha curcas seed into methyl ester in batch reactor using microwave catalyzed by ZSM-5 catalyst. The triglycerides were converted to biodiesel by in-situ transesterification conducted by microwave in presence of methanol and ZSM...
