Distaff Thistle Oil: A Possible New Non-Edible Feedstock for Bioenergy

International Journal of Green Energy, 2014
The present work examines the production of biodiesel from distaff thistle (Carthamus lanatus L.) using alkali catalyzed transesterification. The low acid value (0.14 mg KOH/g) and free fatty acid (FFA) contents (2.81%) of distaff thistle oil (DTO) determined prior to transesterification indicated that the pretreatment of raw oil with acid is not ...
