Moringa Biofuels


"Biodiesel was prepared from M. oleifera oil by alkali-catalyzed
transesteriļ¬cation with methanol after acid pre-treatment. Fuel
properties such as cetane number, kinematic viscosity, oxidative
stability and others were determined. The most conspicuous prop-
erty of biodiesel derived from M. oleifera oil is the high cetane
number of approximately 67, which is among the highest reported
for a biodiesel fuel. The oxidative stability of M. oleifera based bio-
diesel fuel is also enhanced compared to other biodiesel fuels,
although the cloud point is rather high. Thus, biodiesel derived
from M. oleifera oil is an acceptable substitute for petrodiesel, also
when compared to biodiesel fuels derived from other vegetable
oils."
