Prospects for Jatropha biofuels in Tanzania : an analysis with strategic niche management (2008, background): “Options include adaptation of the oil by mixing with methanol and caustic soda (Research Group IP, 2002); fitting vehicles with dual fuel tank systems; making engine adaptations; and blending Jatropha with conventional diesel, which reportedly works well up to a proportion of 40–50% Jatropha (Praman”
Production of biodiesel from Jatropha oil catalyzed by nanosized solid basic catalyst (2011, background): “Biodiesel obtained from renewable biomass feedstocks can be used in diesel engines or blended at various proportions with petroleum diesel as fuel [2].”
Experimental Investigations on the Effects of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticle Fuel Additives on Biodiesel (2010, background): “It has been reported that single fuel operation with neat Jatropha oil in diesel engine resulted in a slightly reduced thermal efficiency, higher HC and CO emissions as compared to diesel [14, 15].”
Biodiesel production from Jatropha curcas: A review (2010, positive): “Vegetable oils offer almost the same power output with slightly lower thermal efficiency when used in diesel engines (Makkar et al., 1997; Pramanik, 2003; Agarwal and Agarwal, 2007; Tiwari et al., 2007).”
Biodiesel production from crude Jatropha curcas L. seed oil with a high content of free fatty acids. (2008, background): “Oil contents, physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition and energy values of Jatropha species were investigated (Banerji et al., 1985; Kandpal and Madan, 1995; Kumar et al., 2003; Pramanik, 2003; Akintayo, 2004; Shah et al., 2004).”
Overview of catalysts in biodiesel production (2016, background): “The problem of high viscosity of vegetable oils has been approached in several ways such as preheating the oils, blending or dilution with other fuels, transesterification and thermal cracking/pyrolysis [4].”
Combustion Analysis of Diesel Engine Fueled with Jatropha Oil Methyl Ester - Diesel Blends (2007, background): “Blends with a lower percentage of jatropha oil showed higher exhaust gas temperatures when compared to an engine running with diesel, but lower than the neat jatropha oil in all cases (Pramanik, 2003).”
