Jatropha curcas have a various advantages than by making it as a biodiesel feedstock. Jatropha Curcas can also help to recover the problematic lands such as soil erosion and act as hedge (Openshaw, 2000). The primary conservation benefits like improved soil restoration and management can be achieved by cultivation of Jatropha curcas. Other than that, this plant is act as fence which is to protect the agriculture against damage by livestock. The cultivation of Jatropha curcas that used as bio-fence is more effective way to prevent the agriculture field compare to the wire fence. This plant is also play an important role in term …show more content…
It will lead to problem in combustion, pumping and atomization in the injector system of diesel engine due to the chemical structure and the large molecular mass of vegetable oils. The longer time its take for operation, vegetable oils normally will introduce the development of gumming, ring sticking , the formation of injector deposits, as well as incompatibility with conventional lubricating oils (Korus RA, 1985). The vegetable oils can be used as alternative fuel for diesel engines by reducing their viscosity. Many ways has been made to overcome this problem. For example is blending or dilution with other fuels, preheating the oils, thermal pyrolysis and trans-esterification. Jatropha Curcas is one of the great source and it consider as potential alternative fuel for compression ignition (C.I.) engines due to their properties such as non-edible vegetable oil, easily grow especially in arid climate, easy propagation and so on (Pramanik, …show more content…
A sensible extraction technique that are used in any type of experiment should be efficient, environmentally friendly, simple, selective, inexpensive and compatible with various analytical techniques. However, the extraction process have a limitations due to the lengthy operation techniques, highly cost of operations and time constraint.
There two type technique of extraction such as classical extraction technique and modern extraction techniques. The example of the classical extraction technique is soxhlet extraction and maceration. This techniques require a large amount of solvent, time consuming and possible degradation of target compound due to overheating (Schmook and Serralta-Peraza, 1997). Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) and Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction (UAE) is a modern extraction techniques that are much efficient and
