Abstract
AbstractBiodiesel is a promising alternative to conventional fuels. Research on biodiesel has vast experimental findings, but the outcomes are not always unidirectional. The sequence of unit operation for various transesterification processes is studied. The review work emphasizes on the separation and purification of Jatropha‐derived biodiesel. The study on the downstream processes of alcohol recovery, glycerol‐rich and biodiesel‐rich phase separation, and biodiesel purification techniques is the main part of this paper. The biodiesel purification includes wet and dry washing and membrane techniques. The purpose of the review is to find separation techniques that are less energy‐intensive and environmentally friendly purification processes for biodiesel production from Jatropha. The strategies to reduce the cost of biodiesel production from Jatropha are discussed. The Jatropha biodiesel possesses huge potential as one of the alternative energy sources for commercial exploitation in India.
