Synthesis of cracked Calophyllum inophyllum oil using fly ash catalyst for diesel engine application

Production of gaseous fuel from jatropha oil by cerium oxide based catalytic fuel reactor and its utilisation on diesel engine

“…Fol lowed by this, the obtained prod ucts un dergo decarboxylation re ac tion to yield CO, CO 2 , H 2 O, and a HC res i due. Thus, the mech a nism of triglyceride crack ing sug gests that cat a lytic trans for ma tions in volve mainly semi prod ucts such as alkyl sub stitu ents of fatty ac ids, i. e. lin ear par af fins and olefins with the chain length of 15-17 car bon at oms [3,7]. Sub se quently, these prod ucts formed by the ther mal de com po si tion of tri glyc er ides are fur ther trans formed by the in flu ence of cat a lyst.…”

“…Cat a lyst as sisted ther mal crack ing of jatropha oil is sent via in take man ifold in the hot gas eous form along with air. [3,7].…”

“…It is ex plicit that the pro duction of biofuels may have to be in creased to match the scale of use of fos sil fu els. The main is sues as so ci ated with the use of these veg e ta ble oils as liq uid fu els di rectly are their poor stor age sta bility, high vis cos ity, poor cold flow prop er ties, and for ma tion of car bon de pos its in parts of au to mobile en gines (i. e. in Die sel en gines) [3]. Hence re search ers have de vel oped strat e gies to im prove the fuel prop er ties of veg e ta ble oils by the most rec og nized method called trans-esterification pro -cess.…”

Influence of fuel injection pressures on Calophyllum inophyllum methyl ester fuelled direct injection diesel engine

“…Muthukumaran et al [16] replaced conventional transesterification process by synthesis cracking method using fly ash as catalyst for C. inophyllum oil. It was found that remarkable improvement was noticed with respect to viscosity and heating value of the biodiesel.…”

Effect of modification ZSM-5 catalyst in upgrading quality of organic liquid product derived from catalytic cracking of Indonesian nyamplung oil (Calophyllum inophyllum)

“…However, because of C=C bonds and oxygenated atoms, biodiesel shows poor fuel performance such as low energy density, low chemical stability and limited miscibility with current fossil fuels. For overcoming the disadvantages mentioned above, the cracking process will upgrade vegetable oil to obtain liquid alkanes [7,8].…”
