COMPARATIVE STUDY ON OIL PRODUCTS OF RICE BRAN

This paper dealt with comparative study of different processes of rice bran oil products. When rice bran oil is thermally decomposed using different loads of calcium oxide as catalyst, it can be used as a diesel fuel. We also analyzed in this paper the performance analysis of compression ignition engine using alternative fuels as rice bran oil and their ester after esterification for different engine load. When rice bran oil is physically refined through combined degumming, it can be used as edible oil. Keywords: Rice bran oil, thermally decomposed, Alternative fuels, and Degumming agents.
