Reduction of free fatty acids in crude Jatropha curcas oil via an esterification process
An important consideration in the feedstock selection for biodiesel production is the content of free fatty acid (FFA) in the oil. In this project, the Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) was used as the feedstock for producing biodiesel. To be used as a feedstock, the JCO should contain a low pe rcentage...
