Abstract
Jatropha cake is a promising renewable energy source after proving difficult to be used as feedstock. Its possible use as a combustible fuel makes the Jatropha cake pellet important as a source of potentially harmful gases to the users and the environment. This makes it imperative to determine the level of pollution caused by the Jatropha cake bio-pellet so as to take the necessary precautions to prevent the hazards that may be associated with its use as fuel if necessary. Jatropha cake samples were burned in a furnace to determine the amount of nitrogen oxides (NO x) and sulphur dioxide (SO 2) produced during complete combustion. The effect of temperature on the production of these gases was investigated by altering the furnace temperature from 300°C to 1200°C. NO x and SO 2 were collected in a mixture of aqueous ammonia and hydrogen peroxide
