The study investigated the esterification of high free fatty acid (FFA) Jatropha curcus (J. curcus) seed oil (6.3 - 14.6%) to produce biodiesel using sulfuric acid with reaction parameters 1% H2SO4, 600 rpm at 60oC and one hour reaction time. At methanol to oil ratio 3:1, FFA were reduced to 4.73% w...
