  • How to improve bio-oil production from Egyptian castor seeds?
  • Also, Egyptian castor is one of the most important crops for oil production compared with other commonly used oil crops. The main aim of this study is to enhance the production of bio-oil from Egyptian castor seeds by using microwave and ultrasonic as pre-treatments.‌
  • How is castor oil extracted?
  • Castor oil was extracted using solvent extraction with three different solvents; hexane, petroleum-ether and ethanol. The linear and quadratic effects of the two variables studied were most significant in affecting the oil yield.‌
  • How to optimize percentage of oil yield extracted from castor seed?
  • Optimization of percentage of oil yield extracted from castor seed was carried out using response surface methodology and Box-Behnken design. Castor oil was extracted using solvent extraction with three different solvents; hexane, petroleum-ether and ethanol.‌
  • How to extract bio-oil from castor seeds?
  • The bio-oil was extracted from the Egyptian castor seeds by a screw press without pre-treatments and pre-treatments were accomplished using Microwave and ultrasonic pretreatments to enhance the production of bio-oil from castor seeds. The schematic diagram in Fig. 1 shows the sequence of oil extraction by screw press from castor seeds.‌
  • How were castor seeds extracted?
  • The seeds were peeled manually and crushed to ensure that the seeds contained the seed embryo that contains the oil content and that the seeds were not empty so that the empty seed husks would not absorb a percentage of the oil. The bio-oil was extracted from the Egyptian castor seeds by a screw press.‌
  • How to extract jatropha oil?
  • Jatropha oil could be extracted by several methods, namely solvent extraction and mechanical pressure extraction. Solvent extraction method is considered one of the most efficient methods for extracting vegetable oils with an extraction rate of Jatropha oil reaches 99%.
