Biodiesel (fatty acids alkyl esters) is a promising alternative fuel to replace petroleum-based diesel that is obtained from renewable sources such as vegetable oil, animal fat and waste cooking oil. Vegetable oils are more suitable source for biodiesel production compared to animal fats and waste cooking since they are renewable in nature. However, there is a concern that biodiesel production from vegetable oil would disturb the food market. Oil from Jatropha curcas is an acceptable choice for biodiesel production because it is non-edible and can be easily grown in a harsh environment. Moreover, alkyl esters of jatropha oil meet the standard of biodiesel in many countries. Thus, the present paper provides a review on the transesterification methods for biodiesel production using jatropha oil as feedstock.
生物柴油（脂肪酸烷基酯）是一种很有前途的替代燃料，可以替代从可再生资源中获得的石油基柴油，这些可再生资源包括植物油、动物脂肪和废食用油。与动物脂肪和废食用油相比，植物油是更适合生产生物柴油的原料，因为它们在性质上是可再生的。然而，人们担心从植物油生产生物柴油会扰乱食品市场。麻疯树油是生产生物柴油的可接受选择，因为它不可食用，而且可以在恶劣的环境中轻易生长。此外，麻疯树油的烷基酯符合许多国家的生物柴油标准。因此，本文综述了以麻疯树油为原料生产生物柴油的酯交换方法。
