Extraction of Oil from Jatropha Seeds

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solid liquid extraction technique was applied for the extraction of oil from jatropha seeds.The optimum conditions for the lab scale solid liquid extraction were obtained at temperature at 40°C, extraction time of 4 h, ratio of liquid to solid of 8/1 (v/m) and n-hexane as a solvent. Under the optical conditions, the yield of Jatropha seeds oil was up to 31.42%.
