Poor storage stability of biodiesel is considered a major problem for its commercialization. The use of commercial antioxidants has been proven very effective for biodiesel stabilization; hence these are frequently being used for long term storage of biodiesel. Moreover, in comparison to individual antioxidants, use of their binary combinations with their optimized concentrations could be more economical...
Oxidation has been measured a major problem for biodiesel commercialization. Auto-oxidation takes place when exposed to air, heat, light and metallic contaminants which affects adversely the fuel characteristics of biodiesel. Addition of synthetic antioxidants generally improves the oxidation stability of biodiesel; however the use of large concentration of additives makes the process uneconomical...
Biodiesel has been recognized as a “green fuel”, being the most attractive substitute to the conventional petro-diesel. The unsaturated fatty acids present in biodiesel are susceptible to oxidation. One of the main criteria used for the quality assessment of biodiesel is ‘storage oxidation stability’. Oxidation of the esters during the long-term storage can lead to problems for the utilization of...
The stability of fuel during storage is an important consideration for bulk users. Storage instability leads to solids formation which can plug nozzles and filters. This work focuses on the effect of the addition of antioxidants on EURO-III and Jatropha Biodiesel blends. The changes in physico-chemical properties were observed for these blends after addition of antioxidants. BHA (butylated hydroxy...
