Influence of groundnut seed viability on biodiesel
Furthermore, the seed viability also showed significant influence on different quality parameters of the oil such as FFA, AV, IV, PV, MW, and SV, which will be considered as important parameters for assessing the quality of oil for biodiesel
Mechanical Extraction Processing Technology for Biodiesel
Small biodiesel businesses will likely extract oil from seeds using a mechanical method ?a press that squeezes the oil out ?rather than a chemical method, which is expensive and complicated. Mechanical extraction of the oil is accomplished by exerting sufficient force on confined seed.
Biological Production of Diesel from Groundnut Seeds
Nigerian oil mill company in Kano, Kano State, Nigeria crushes between 100–120 tons of groundnut seeds a day during their oil production season [7]. In addition, there are
Influence of groundnut seed viability on biodiesel feedstock
The oil extracted from groundnut seed lots with higher seed viability (> 60%) had low free fatty acid content. ?Oil extracted from oilseed with >60% of germination is an excellent feedstock for single step alkali biodiesel production. ?The seed viability of groundnut seed had inverse relationship with free fatty acid of groundnut oil.
Design of a Manual Hydraulic Press for Oil Extraction from
The maximum extraction efficiency of 45 and 46.6% was obtained at pre-pressing treatments of 120 o C and 10 min and 30 o C and 30 min for guna
Influence of groundnut seed viability on biodiesel feedstock
The processing cost of biodiesel production depends upon the biodiesel production method. Generally, oil is extracted from biodiesel feedstock, and further, it is analyzed for its suitability for biodiesel production. In order to assess the suitability of groundnut seeds with different viability for biodiesel production, the experiment was
Production of biodiesel from groundnut (Arachis
The results showed that groundnut seeds gave oil yield of 45.3%, while trans-esterification yielded 86.8% groundnut oil ethyl ester on a volume basis. At 40 C,
Design of a Manual Hydraulic Press for Oil Extraction from
For this study, a manually operated hydraulic press was designed for extracting oil from oil bearing seeds. The capacity of the hydraulic jack needed for the press was determined to be...
Production of biodiesel from groundnut (Arachis hypogea, L.) oil
The results showed that groundnut seeds gave oil yield of 45.3%, while trans-esterification yielded 86.8% groundnut oil ethyl ester on a volume basis. At 40ºC, higher viscosity
