Diesel fuel production, based on brassica carinata seeds, comprises extraction of oil, for transesterification with purification by distilled water

摘要

The production of a diesel fuel based on Brassica carinata seeds comprises extraction of oil from the seeds, for reflux transesterification by potassium hydroxide and methanol. The methyl esters are purified by distilled water, minimizing costs and reducing carbon dioxide emission during combustion.
