2.4. Jatropha-based biodiesel quality evaluation
The physico-chemical properties of biodiesels produced from
CaOeLa2O3 catalyzed transesterification reactions were analyzed
for standard specifications. The list of tests for biodiesel characterization
are included density, viscosity, flash point, cloud point,
pour point, water content, sulphur content, acid value, iodine value
and analysis of methanol content. The following tests were carried
out in aMYCO2 green laboratory and the result was compared with
biodiesel standards of EN14121 and ASTM D6751 that available for
biodiesel fuel (Table 7).
