Mobility (transport of people and goods) is a socio-economic reality and need for which is bound to grow in the coming years. Modes of transport should be safe, economic and reasonably environmental friendly. Hydrogen could be ideal as a synthetic energy carrier for transport sector as its gravimetric energy density is very high, abundantly available in combined form on the earth and its oxidation...
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...
Today, algae have recently received a lot of attention as a new biomass source for the production of renewable bio fuels. CO2, a green house gas is necessary for the culturing of microalgae. The main aim of this work is to study the interaction among the various factors affecting the growth rate and lipid production of different micro alga species from CO2 for the production of bio fuels. In this...
