SUMMARY

This article studied the possibility of using jatrophaculture as a biofuel cropZenograg -

Russia.Some main agronomic characteristics of jatropha plant - the possibility of using jatropha oil

as a basis to become an organic biofuel, the comparative analysis of physical, chemical, fuel

characteristics of jatropha oil and diesel fuel and the basic parameters of functioning of diesel

engines to biofiiel mixtures based on Jatropha oilwere discussed. We have designed a

technological of producing biofuelfrom jatropha seeds and its introduction in machinery tractor

Keywords: Jatropha culture, organic biofuel, process Ing lechnology.substitulion of diesel fuel.

BACKGROUND

There are many popular crops that producing

biodiesel fuels over the world such as rape,

soybeans, etc. - but most of them require an

intensive care and do not grow in all areas.

The presence of relatively cheap raw

materials has been the basis for tbe

development of biodiesel industry. One ofthe

perspective crops for biofuel production is

jatropha.lt is a genus of flowering plants in

the spurge family, Eupborbiaceae.lt contains

approximately 170 species of succulent

plants, shrubs and trees. Jatropha curcasis one

of the best candidates for future biodiesel

production. It is perennial tree or shrub that

easily spreads by seeds and propagates by

grafts. Although it grows well in tropical and

subtropical climates, it can be planted

throughout the world. It is also more

commonly known as the perennial tree-weed

growing on poor dry soil [1]. Nutrient content

in soil is not the main factor affecting the

productivity of jatropha. It can grow on both

fertile soils and soils with low humus content.

Today jatropha is grown in many tropical

countries, where tbe amount of annual rainfall

is 300-1000 mm and average temperature

above 18-2D°C, including India and China

with large-scale planting of jatropha (900 000

hectares in 2008 with plans for planting at

12.8 million hectares in 2015). In 2015,

Vietnam planned to allocate about 300,000

hectares of land for the jatropha cultivation [1].

MATERIAL AND METHOD

The object of this work is the oil pressed from

the Jatropha seeds planted in Phu Tho -

Vietnam, the nature of the fuel mixture

Jatropha oil and diesel, the ability of producing

biodiesel from Jatrophaoil in the system

JatrophoBIODON-1 and BlOSOIL-200.

To achieve the purpose of this work we used

analytical methods to determme the quality of

fuel Jartopha (GOST 305-82 and GOST R

53605-2009 Russian Federation), methods of

empirical research, testing engine is processed

bycomputer with software Dasylab 6.0.

Results of theoretical and experimental study

are compared by the method based on the

Buckingham theorems that counts Euler and

Reynolds number.
