Energy from Jatrophas Seed

Do you know a friend that is now found oil from plant materials loch!
Surely you already know that there are many plants that can produce oil for example, palm oil, coconut and others but it is only used for food. Other than that there is not oil-for-food that is oil from jatropha.
 

Jatropha is a plant seed that can be used as an alternative energy because it is a type of fuel that can be renewed. Jatropha is also one of the herbs that can be used to produce alternative energy sources. Energy source produced from this plant a useful form of biodiesel to replace diesel fuel in diesel engines function.

Jatropha
(Jatropha curcas L.) is known as jatropha, and is a shrub that grows rapidly until it reaches a height of 3-5 meters. The plant is drought resistant and can grow in places with rainfall of 200 mm to 1500mm per year. Plant propagation area located between 40oLS to 50oLU the optimal height of 0-800 meters above sea level

Well here it is contained in the Chemical Composition of Seeds and Oil Distance

Seed is composed of 75% kernel (meat beans) and 25% leather. Castor oil has a fatty acid content. the chemical composition of seed consists of several components: Oil 54%, carbohydrate 13%, Fibre 12.5%, Ash 2.5%, Protein 18%, while the fatty acid content of oil seed is composed of the type of acid: 86 ricinoleic acid %, 8.5% Oleic Acid Linoleat Acid 3.5%, 0.5-2.0% Stearic Acid, Stearic Acid dihydroxy 1-2%

Physical and Chemical Properties Oil Distance

For more details about how to manufacture oil from castor beans please refer to the following processing

Oil Seed Processing Distance

  1. Choose fruits that are old distance, then when it is dry separate them with seeds.
  2. Dry the seed until the water level reaches 6%
  3. Castor beans roasted or heated on a griddle at a temperature of 170oC for 30 minutes.
  4. Destroy and press seed oil in order to get out
  5. Then strain that produced a clean castor oil
  6. To eliminate the toxicity of castor oil then added ethanol and NaOH.
  7. That explanation can we learn from the benefits of castor oil, in addition there is also the benefit that we can take away from other parts of the plant such as distance sap, leaves, stems and roots.
So let's get back to nature to get a good quality of life.
