Prospect of Castor Oil Biodiesel in Bangladesh: Process Development and Optimization Study

In this study, Castor oil (CO) has been investigated as a potential source for biodiesel production in Bangladesh. Castor oil has been extracted from the seeds by mechanical press and Soxhlet extraction method. Maximum oil content of 55.7% has been found by Soxhlet extraction method. The physicoche...
