Jatropha curcas
• Found in Tanzania, Venezuela and India.• Grown on marginal lands.

Transesterification of oils
• Chemical methods – Acid or Base catalysed
• Biochemical methods – Enzyme catalysed
![Page 9: Biodiesel, the new age fuel](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/543e632eafaf9fa00a8b5304/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Acid Catalyzed TransesterificationCommonly used acids: H2SO4/ HCl
![Page 10: Biodiesel, the new age fuel](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/543e632eafaf9fa00a8b5304/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Base catalyzed transesterification
![Page 11: Biodiesel, the new age fuel](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061105/543e632eafaf9fa00a8b5304/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Comparisons
Base catalysis is preferred:1) 4000 times as fast.2) Use of KOH gives useful side
product.3) Acids are corrosive.

Limitations of chemical methods
• Require more energy.• Formation of soap inhibits
transesterification.• Disposal of waste water.

Lipases
• Biocatalysts are biodegradable.
• Consume less energy.
• No soap formation.• Further purification of
biodiesel not required.• Can be used for oils
with high free fatty acid content.
