Stability of biodiesel, its improvement and the effect of antioxidant treated blends on engine performance and emission
Biodiesel consists of long chain fatty acid esters derived from vegetable oils, animal fats, and used oils. Biodiesel contains different types, amounts, and configurations of unsaturated fatty acids, which are prone to oxidation. Biodiesel stability is affected by its interaction with atmospheric oxygen, light and temperature, storage conditions, and factors causing sediment formation. It can b...
متن کاملThe Effect of Natural and Synthetic Antioxidants on the Oxidative Stability of Biodiesel
A significant problem associated with the commercial acceptance of biodiesel is poor oxidative stability. This study investigates the effectiveness of various natural and synthetic antioxidants [a-tocopherol (a-T), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), 2, 5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (DTBHQ), ionol BF200 (IB), propylgallate (PG), and pyrogallo...
متن کاملKanemite: an easily prepared and highly efficient catalyst for biodiesel production optimized by response surface methodology
Kanemite was readily prepared and used as solid base catalyst for transesterification of sunflower oil to fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N2 adsorption-desorption and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques. Central Composite Design (CCD) coupled with Response Surfac...
متن کاملProduction and Characterization of Biodiesel Using Nonedible Castor Oil by Immobilized Lipase from Bacillus aerius
A novel thermotolerant lipase from Bacillus aerius was immobilized on inexpensive silica gel matrix. The immobilized lipase was used for the synthesis of biodiesel using castor oil as a substrate in a solvent free system at 55°C under shaking in a chemical reactor. Several crucial parameters affecting biodiesel yield such as incubation time, temperature, substrate molar ratio, and amount of lip...
متن کاملProspects of Tectona Grandis as a Feedstock for Biodiesel
The limited availability of fossil fuels has encouraged the need of replacement fuels of renewable nature. Among the renewable fuels, biodiesel produced from oil seeds and food wastes has been favored by the majority of researchers. In this study, Tectona Grandis seed oil has been investigated as a non-edible feedstock for biodiesel. The oil content of seed is 43% which makes it suitable for co...
