Description/Abstract | Pedilanthus tithimaloides Poit, belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae, is largely a cultivated species in India.^Because of the interest in green plants as a source of petroleum hydrocarbons, in depth studies have been carried out on the potential of this laticiferous species as an energy crop.^Biocrude content of all the seven varieties available in India have been estimated and a suitable solvent has been standardized for this purpose.^Results of the detailed studies carried out on the optimization of reaction parameters for upgrading the biocrude to liquid fuels are presented.^9 refs., 4 tabs. |
