“…Similarly, the Palmitic acid, Palmitoleic acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linolenic acid, and Arachidic acid methyl esters were consequently reported by Predojevic in Jatropha biofuel. The literature study regarding the fatty acid methyl esters composition of different plant species biofuel showed that different researchers reported 8−16 types of fatty acid methyl esters (Kouame, 2011;Nzair et al, 2013). This study first time, reporting total 28 numbers of different fatty acid methyl esters in the synthesized sample of cocklebur crop as shown in Table 3. COCKLEBUR; NOVEL NON-EDIBLE ENERGY CROP, A FEASIBLE SOURCE OF BIOFUEL Non-edible energy crops oil are not used in for human as a food because of the some toxic compound presence.…”

This study is reporting the biofuel synthesis and characterization from the novel nonedible feedstock cocklebur seeds oil. The Cocklebur crop seeds oil was studied as a potential source for biofuel production based on the chemical, structural and fuel properties analysis. The oil expression and FFAs content in cocklebur crop was reported 37.2% and 0.47 gram KOH/g, using soxhlet apparatus and acid base titration method, respectively. The maximum conversion and yield of the cocklebur crop seeds non-edible oil to biofuel was pursued 93.33%, using transesterification process. The optimum protocol for maximum conversion yield was adjusted: 1:7 oil-methanol molar ratios, ZnO nano-particle concentration 0.2 gm (w/w), reaction temperature 60 • C, and reaction time 45 min, respectively. ZnO nano-particle was prepared by a modified sol-gel method, using gelatin and the particle was XRD, TEM, XPS, and UV-vis spectroscopies. Qualitatively, the cocklebur crop synthesized biofuel was quantified and structurally characterized by GC/MS, FT-IR, NMR, and AAS spectroscopies. Quantitatively, the fuel properties of cocklebur crop biofuel was analyzed and compared with the international ASTM and EN standards.

Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) is considered a future feedstock for biodiesel production because it is easily grown in harsh environments and is a non‐edible crop that is not in demand as a food source. Three basic methods are used to produce biodiesel from oils/fats, namely the base‐catalyzed transesterification, acid‐catalyzed transesterification, and enzymatic catalysis. However, heterogeneous transesterification using a solid catalyst rather than a liquid acid or base catalyst is a more environmentally responsible way to utilize crude Jatropha oil for biodiesel production. The use of a heterogeneous catalyst also avoids neutralization and washing steps, thereby leading to a simpler and more efficient process. This paper presents an overview of the production of biodiesel from Jatropha Curcas Linnaeus (JCL) using a heterogeneous catalyst. This review also includes the current economic trend of biofuel production particularly on the production of biodiesel. Different types of conventional and advanced methods like ultrasound, microwave, membrane reactor, supercritical methanol, etc., using several types of heterogeneous catalysts like calcium oxide (CaO), sulfanated zirconia alumina (SZA) and others in the JCO biodiesel transesterification process are discussed in detail. The system design of the transesterification process via process simulation and optimization are also presented. Finally, the persistent challenges facing this process are discussed. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
