Abstract
Abstract: This work has been carried out to produce biodiesel and inspect how the production from Jatropha seeds oil, methanol and using a catalyst as Potassium iodide Aluminium oxide (KI Al2O3). This Methodology dried jatropha seeds ware used. This seed oil is extracted from the jatropha seed by applying the Soxhlet extraction method with methanol as the organic solvent and screw-type mechanical expeller. In the oil free fatty acid content of jatropha seeds oil was 0. 800.i.e.is ≤ 2. After using the transesterification process and the ratio of methanol: oil ratio was 12:1, 0.5 g of catalyst and temperature of the reaction was 60 °C for 4 hours of reaction time with stirring at 600 rpm. The cloud point was 7°C. The pour point was 2°C, density was 0.38 g/cm3 and flash point was 155 °C.
