摘要

The invention is related to the process applied to the to Jatropha and Pongamia seeds before mechanical expelling of oil from the conventional and modified expellers to get more oil yield and to reduce the free fatty acids by controlling the oxidation during oil extraction process to increase the biodiesel recovery from the oil with transesterification. In prior art of conventional process of oil extraction, mechanical expellers are used to expel the oil out of the seeds by using screw pressing in India. How ever, all the conventional expellers are basically designed for edible oil seeds which are very soft and contain more oil per unit volume. But the Jatropha and Pongamia seeds vary in size and shape consists of more wax and gums in the form of phospatides than the normal oil seeds. In normal process, the oil expulsion from these seeds demands more pressure in the expeller oil chamber which increases the chamber temperature above 80 and increases the oxidation rate of the oil due to some oxidative enzymes in the seed and results in increase of free fatty acids in the end product. The oxidation rate will be more under higher temperature conditions. The increase in free fatty acids also increases the viscosity of the oil which will have a negative effect for biodiesel production. Keeping all these points in view, a novel process is developed and tested for pretreatment of seed to expel the oil and to prepare Biodiesel at Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Santoshnagar, Hyderabad. This process consists of pretreating the Pongamia/ Jatropha seed before oil expulsion with optimum concentration of NaOH solution. It involves soaking the seed for 20-30 minutes in the NaOH aqueous solution at 80° C and drying the seed in open sun for 2 hours. This process reduces the activity of the oxidative enzymes present in the seed. It also opens up the cells of the oil glands present in the seed which results in more oil recovery during mechanical oil extraction process. Since the seed becomes soft with loosened tissues, the load on the oil expeller reduces which intums reduces the specific energy requirement. This process helps in reducing the blockage of cake which results in reduction in temperature in the oil chambers. All these factors reduce the free fatty acids in oil with significant increase in oil recovery. If the pretreated oil consists of free fatty acids less than 3 %, single stage transesterification can be used with Potassium hydroxide as catalyst with optimum concentration. Other wise two stage transesterification is to be preferred to produce Biodiesel with sulphuric acid as acid catalyst in first stage and Potassium hydroxide as base catalyst in second stage with optimum concentration. The above said process enhances the oil recovery by 4-6 % with low free fatty acids with reduction in viscosity. This also increases the Biodiesel recovery by 6-9 % based on the feed stock. The viscosity of the Pretreated Biodiesel will be less when compared to the untreated Biodiesel. The fuel characteristics of the Pretreated Biodiesel will be superior over the conventional one.
