This work reports the use of Moringa oleifera oil and leaves as potential sources for the production of biodiesel and antioxidant additives for biodiesels, respectively. The M. oleifera methyl ester was prepared by a two-step reaction and exhibited physical–chemical properties that met the minimum or maximum limits of the EN 14214, emphasizing the high induction period (IP) of 19.3h. Ethanolic extracts...
Binary mixtures of soybean (SbMB), sunflower (SfMB), colza (CzMB), corn (CoMB), cottonseed (CsMB), and residual cooking oil (RMB) methyl biodiesels were prepared and the oxidation stability (induction period, IP) was measured. CoMB, SbMB, and particularly CzMB improved the oxidation stability of the binary mixtures, which was in agreement with measurements of polyunsaturated fatty acid content and...
The storage stability and corrosive character of soybean biodiesel stabilised with tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) was investigated through static immersion corrosion tests. Coupons of carbon steel and galvanised steel were immersed in soybean biodiesel with and without TBHQ for 12weeks. Measurements of total acid number, peroxide value, oxidation stability (Rancimat induction period), metal release,...
This work reports the preparation and characterization of methylic and ethylic biodiesel from cottonseed oil. Biodiesel was prepared by a transesterification process involving the reaction of the oil with methanol or ethanol using KOH as catalyst. The conversion of triglycerides to the corresponding methyl and ethyl ester was 91.5 and 88.5 (wt%). All the physical–chemical properties of the obtained...
