Comparative Physical properties of Karanj Seed Oil by Using Different Organic Solvents: an Environmental Viable Fuel
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Research. - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
ABSTRACT Oil yielding crop plants are very important for economic growth of the energy and agricultural sectors. The oil seeds containing polyunsaturated fatty acids are important source of biodiesel. These organic seed oils are better than diesel fuels in terms of physico-chemical properties and biodegradability. One such plant species is Pongamia pinnata belonging to family Fabaceae. It is drought resistant, semi-deciduous, nitrogen fixing leguminous tree. It grows about 15-20 meters in height with a large canopy which spreads equally wide. Detail physical study in different organic solvents (n-Hexane, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether) intends to identify all advantages and disadvantages of pongamia pinnata as a sustainable feedstock for the production of Biodiesel equivalent to fossil fuel as per ASTM.
