Biproducts
of Jatropha
– additional products from the crop.
The efficiency and profitability of the jatropha curcas bio-fuel
industry, increases with the commercial usage of by-products
like jatropha cakes and glycerol generated during the
process of oil extraction. The Jatropha cake left after
oil extraction is an excellent organic fertilizer and can
also be burnt for power generation..
These cakes contain proteins and carbohydrates as
major constituents and several bioactive compounds as minor
constituents. There is a lot of potential to use these
cakes for production of biogas, producer gas, briquettes
and several products like surfactants and lubricants.
The by-product glycerol can be used for production
of Propylene Glycol, which can be used for making
unsaturated polyster resins, poly ether polyols, functional
fluids, cosmetics and toiletries flavour.
Propanediol produced from glycerol has a number of applications
in laminates, composites novel polysters solvents, and
special polymers. Liquid phase hydrogenolysis of
glycerol can result in the formation of propylene glycol
and ethylene glycol for manufacture of polyster fibre
and synthetic cloth.
