Description

Date palms are very famous trees in Iraq and some other countries. The date oil might use as a fuel in a compression ignition engines. Also, this oil can be used as a raw material to produce a date-bio diesel. In this paper, a new method to extract oil from dates is showed and synthesized bio diesel from this oil. Full description to extraction as well as to Transesterification methods is achieved. The main fuel properties tests are done on the oil and the date-bio diesel. The caloric values, viscosity, density, pour point, cloud point and diesel index are tested for date's oil and for its bio diesel. A comparison with diesel oil is hold to show the utility of this oil and its bio diesel for using in compression ignition engines. (author)
