[biofuel] canola (rape) plant oil extraction

2001-05-23 Thread john amory

oops, sent that last by mistake.
my question is:- Say you take a growing canola plant
(rape) at say flowering time and distill the oil from
the plant.  If the oil content is 10% of the plant,
would the plant material left over be suitable for
another purpose (ie, for ethanol) apart from compost. 

By distillation, would there be more oil per acre than
allowing the plant to ripen and harvest the seed?.

Would the chlorophyl be in the oil and would this
affect the bio-diesel (ester).
Thanks, John Amory, Victoria, Australia.
