Abstract

Biodiesel has been referred to as a basic substitute for diesel fuel because of its numerous promising properties. They are clean, renewable, increase energy security, and environmentally friendly, to meet the widely demand for the running of engine and other equipment powered by fossil fuel. The Jatropha curcas seed, oil extraction was characterized using CoMgFe2O4 as Nano-catalysts. Bio-fuel properties, including acid value, pour point, flash point and density, were within the ASTM D6751 limits for biodiesels. The extracted oils were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope (FTIR). The results of the SEM analysis showed the calcined samples to be a preferred choice due to their large surface area. 55.80% of yield of oil from study showed promising for commercialization of biodiesel production, from Jatropha curcas. 84.25 -78.50% biofuel yield was high after four cycle showed reusability of catalyst for continuous reaction for biofuel blend. The result of the properties of the biodiesel and their blend showed their suitability of biodiesel production. Biofuel viscosity placed biofuel in 2D grade (2.0 -4.3mm2/s) and Methyl ester blends of 21:80; these properties are suitable in powering stationary equipment. Inclusion, the seed oil of jatropha curcas trans-esterified with CoMgFe2O4 as Nano-catalysts was proven to be a good source for the production of biodiesel.
