Castor Bean Oil

The oil of ricin is the oil that comes from the beans of ricin. The bean of ricin contains 50% to 55% oil. The oil that himself contains a lot of similar fatty acids to these used one in the oil kitchen, some examples of this is the acid of oleic, the acid of linoleic, the acid of stearic and the acid of palmitic.

When you look at vegetable oils, the oil of ricin differently is distinguished by the high level of acid of ricinoleic that is more than 85%. There is not other oils vegetable that has a such high proportion of fatty hydroxyacids. Because it has a non saturated link, high molecular weight 298, a low level being founded the point of 5ºC and it no very low solidification of -12ºC to -18ºC this is completely suitable for the industrial usage. The biggest reason why this arrives, is that it has the more top and most of stable viscosity of any vegetable oil.

This oil has a content of ash of about 0.02% the percentage for the sulfur is less than 0.04%. The more top the number of cetane (CN), the better the fuel when will be used as a Diesel. The CN of the majority of fuels of biodiesel is of in higher fact than gasoline or Diesel, and the number of cetane of biodiesel of oil of ricin is in a good range for the motors Diesel.

The facts drawn by the scientists show in fact to this oil of ricin has one of the higher CN when it is a matter of all the vegetable oils, and also when you add all the others biofuels they have in number fact that are lower than the quantity for the oil of ricin. Petro Diesel is around 45, and nevertheless for the fuels of most of the OTHER bio, the face falls in the range 45 to 65.

Nevertheless when to think about the production of biodiesel, the cost plays an important role and an oil of bean of ricin is one of the evaluated oils the more bottoms, that it does completely effective to use. It himself is proved as one of the more advantageous one of all oils to use nevertheless they always do the research to determine of another factors also.
