Project Abstract:
|
Jatropha is a new and promising biodiesel. Like all other biodiesels, Jatropha Biodiesel can not be used in cold temperatures due to the low cloud point. Most biodiesels use methanol for transesterification which is a fossil fuel. In this project transesterification will be performed using ethanol which is also a biofuel. The project will also address the possibility of reducing the cloud point and flash point with different additives and cold flow modifiers.
