Resumen
The depletion of fossil fuels has encouraged the development of new methods for the production of renewable energies. In this work, th e thermal decomposition of the biodiesel produced from non -edible jatropha oil in supercritical methanol wa s investigated. The results obtained sh ow that thermal decomposition appeared at operating conditions of 350 ºC and 15 min, being ma ximum (24.16 %) at 350 ºC and 90 min. Moreover, it was observed that the fatty acid chains affected by temperature were those of oleic and lin oleic acid type. Finally, a linear regression analysis was made, leading to a mod el that predicts the effect of the temperature on the biodiesel produced.
