Biodiesel Synthesis From Jatropha Through Transesterificarion By Using Ba/ZnO Catalyst

Theobjective ofthis project is to produce a Biodiesel from triglyceride ofJatropha oil by
using conventional transesterification with the Ba/ZnO heterogeneous catalyst. The
heterogeneous catalyst application can be applied in the industrial practice where it can
be reuse and it is easy to separate from the products. The main objective in using
heterogeneous catalyst in transesterification process is to reduce the production cost in
separating biodiesel with the catalyst and also to reduce the water pollution. It is also as
an alternative catalyst for the homogeneous catalyst biodieselproduction system.
