  • What is castor oil refining?
  • Refining of castor oil includes degumming, neutralization, de-waxing, deodorization and bleaching. Castor oil has one double bond in each fatty acid chain and is classified as non-drying oil. Like all other vegetable oils, it has different physical and chemical properties that vary with the method of extraction .
  • Is castor oil a renewable resource?
  • Castor oil has long been used commercially as a highly renewable resource for the chemical industry. 1, 2 It is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant ( Ricinus communis L.) that is mainly cultivated in Africa, South America, and India. 3, 4 Major castor oil-producing countries include Brazil, China, and India.
  • Is castor oil a sustainable non-edible resource for chemical process industries?
  • Conclusions Castor oil is a valuable sustainable non-edible resource for chemical process industries. Biorefinery offers the best frame for valorisation. The paper presents the conceptual design and the economic evaluation of a modern castor oil biorefinery, which involve the analysis and flowsheet synthesis of four processes.
  • Can a castor oil biorefinery produce biodiesel and biochemicals simultaneously?
  • Goal and outline The goal of this paper is conceptual design, simulation and economic analysis of a castor oil biorefinery for producing simultaneously biodiesel and bio-chemicals. Four distinct processes are studied, from which two regard castor oil transesterification, followed by fatty ester pyrolysis and undecylenic acid amination.
