How to extract bio fuel from Kayea Assamica, and what chemicals we should use for that? How to improve its characterstics when it is fed to some engine with fossil fuels?
Extracting or producing biofuel from Kayea assamica does not make meaning. Bioethanol, Biodiesel, Biogas, Biomethanol, syngas, biocrude, biochar, biohydrogen and lots of others are all bio fuels. The question should have been what biofuel?
Let me assume, from your question since you have mentioned engine application, I guess you are referring to either biodiesel or bioethanol.
biodiesel production starts from seed oil extraction via solvent extraction or mechanical pressing. The most important is to get the oil. Secondly, the FFA value of the oil determines the method for biodiesel production. esterification is required when the FFA value is greater than 2%. otherwise, transesterification will serve.
Transesterification involves the reaction of the oil with an alcohol such as methanol to produce fatty acids methyl esters [Biodiesel] and glycerol. Biodiesel is less dense and can be separated by gravity separation.
