Abstract:

Biodiesel is a domestic, renewable fuel that is gaining wide acceptance, especially in Europe. ; When blended with conventional petroleum diesel, biodiesel reduces hydrocarbon, particulate ; and carbon monoxide emissions, while having minimal to no effect on NOx. It also improves ; lubricity, lowers sulfur, and has a high cetane number. The promise of biodiesel is tremendous, ; but some significant obstacles remain to its complete acceptance by diesel engine ; manufacturers, most significantly with respect to oxidative stability. This proposed project will ; investigate the factors associated with biodiesel oxidative stability, including natural and ; synthetic antioxidants, storage and processing conditions. Results of this project will provide ; much needed guidelines to industry with regards to storage conditions and antioxidant additive ; levels. Additionally, biodiesel production changes will be recommended which will optimize ; the preservation of natural antioxidant levels in the fuel. Finally, factors required for the ; development of a user-level sensor for biodiesel oxidative stability will be quantified.
