Phukan, Kandarpa; Chutia, Gobinda Prasad; Chutia, Sudipta published the artcile< Synthesis of Biodiesel from Indigenous Xanthium Strumarium (Cocklebur) Non-Edible Oil Available in Assam, India>, Electric Literature of 112-63-0, the main research area is Xanthium strumarium biodesel synthesis transesterification.
Xanthium strumarium seed oils had been investigated as a potential non-edible biodiesel feedstock. The Xanthium strumarium seeds expressed about 38% oil content via solvent extracton technique. Physicochem. parameters of oil such as acid value, iodine value, saponification value, etc. were determined exptl. to prove its feasibility for biodiesel production The Xanthium strumarium Me esters or biodiesel were synthesized via transesterification reaction using K2CO3 as a catalyst and a 97% yield was attained at optimum reaction parameters. The characterization of produced biodiesel was done by fourier transform IR (FTIR), proton NMR (1H NMR) and carbon-13 NMR (13C NMR) spectroscopy. Gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) anal. was employed to determine the composition of fatty acid Me esters of methylated oil. The fuel parameters like d., viscosity, acid value, calorific value, flash point, pour and cloud point of the biodiesel were evaluated as per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D6751 standard
ChemistrySelect published new progress about Acid number. 112-63-0 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C19H34O2, Electric Literature of 112-63-0.
