Castor (Ricinus communis) plants have been cultivated. Castor oil has been cultivated and has become one of the world’s major commodities, with the leading producer being India. Castor oil’s primary products and derivatives include Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO), polymers, lubricants, and biodiesel. Conventional extraction is usually done using a machine or hot water extraction methods. In large industries, extraction is carried out to obtain high purity with the help of solvents. Organic solvents are suitable for extraction, such as methanol, ethanol, and n-hexane, which are the most commonly used. This research aims to obtain techno-economic feasibility through a simulation of castor oil production using SuperPro Designer version 13.0. The extraction process is carried out in two stages: mechanical extraction followed by water degumming, neutralization, and adsorption with activated carbon. Production capacity and technology used are adjusted to existing companies and literature. From the results of the economic analysis, this production process is feasible with an IRR of 32.11%, a PBP of 3.25 years, and a BC Ratio of 1.05.

“…The main castor bean-producing countries in the world are India, Mozambique, China, Brazil, Myanmar and Ethiopia. World castor bean production during 2020 was 1.2 million t, with an average seed yield of around 700-1100 kg ha −1 [9]. The plant grows wild in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world.…”

Effect of Pretreatments on the Production of Biogas from Castor Waste by Anaerobic Digestion

et al. 2023

Lignocellulosic biomass is a source of carbohydrates that can be used in the production of biogas. The aim of this study was to obtain biogas from biomass waste (leaves, stems and seed bagasse) of Ricinus communis, applying pretreatments such as temperature and humidity. We examined the effect of these pretreatments on the biomass, two enzymatic pretreatments (cellulase and cellobiohydrolase), two chemicals (NaOH and HCl) and two controls (dried castor straw and seed bagasse) on the methane content. The experiment was performed in two anaerobic digestion (AD) assays at a controlled temperature (37 °C) and at room temperature, with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 55 days. The results showed that the residues of the seed bagasse produced the highest biogas yields both at room temperature and at the controlled temperature since this material at 37 °C produced 460.63 mL gVS−1 under cellulase pretreatment; at room temperature, the highest level of production was found for the control (263.41 mL gVS−1). The lowest yields at the controlled temperature and room temperature were obtained from residues of Ricinus communis treated with cellobiohydrolase and the seed bagasse treated with alkaline (15.15 mL gVS−1 and 78.51 mL gVS−1, respectively). Meanwhile, the greatest amount of methane was produced by seed bagasse treated with cellobiohydrolase at a controlled temperature (92.2% CH4) and the lowest content of CH4 (15.5%) was obtained at a controlled temperature from castor straw under the control treatment.

La higuerilla (Ricinus communis L.) pertenece a la familia de Euphorbiaceae, y se encuentra establecida en todos los continentes. Genera gran interés a nivel mundial gracias al contenido de aceite extraído de la semilla, al cual puede ser utilizado en la producción de biocombustibles, productos farmacéuticos y cosmetológicos, abonos orgánicos, entre otros usos. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la situación actual del cultivo de la higuerilla en el Ecuador. Fue efectuada una revisión de literatura llevando una búsqueda exhaustiva en las bases de datos Google Académico, Scielo, Web of Science y Scopus, desde 1973 hasta 2022, con un total de 52 documentos científicos. En la actualidad el suministro de semillas para las empresas extractoras se ha visto afectado en Ecuador y ha puesto a las empresas a la deriva, debido a que son pocos los productores que la producen y no es un cultivo tecnificado ni con incentivos del gobierno ecuatoriano. Se espera que con el lanzamiento de la variedad de Higuerilla INIAP – 402 “LA ROJA”, los agricultores se motiven a la siembra y que existan precios más atractivos por parte de los empresarios y así favorecer al productor.
