Microwave and ultrasonic green technique for bio-oil production

Abstract

Jatropha oil is a non-edible vegetable oil produced by an extraction process. The oil crop plant contains a high amount of oil (20-40%) compared to other vegetable oil. Moreover, Jatropha oil has potential as renewable feedstocks for biodiesel production. Water is used in te extraction process instead of using chemical. The optimization of Jatropha oil and it physico-chemical properties are studied.
