Abstract: Biodiesel is increasingly being used in automotive and other engine applications because of its potential to contribute to the reduction of CO 2 and other harmful emissions. However, biodiesel is known to be more corrosive in contact with metallic components than petroleum diesel. This work explores the corrosion of aluminium, steel, brass and copper metallic coupons exposed to B100 biodiesel at 25, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 °C. The metals that were chosen are commonly found in automotive… Show more

“…For example, the high reaction temperature is known to increase the reaction rate and decreases the reaction time by reducing the viscosity of oils. However, the yield of biodiesel becomes less by increasing the reaction temperature beyond the optimal value, because a high reaction temperature accelerates the saponification of triglycerides and results in evaporation of the methanol to decrease in the biodiesel yield 59, 60.…”

“…The reaction temperature varies from 50 to 60 °C depending on the nature of the oil used 59. According to earlier studies, the reaction temperature must be close to the boiling point of alcohol for the faster conversion of fatty acids into esters 16, 32, 39, 40, 53, 59, 60. If it is low or near to the room temperature, about 78 % conversion into esters may be attained after 60 min which indicates that methyl esterification is possible at low temperatures and FFAs can be changed significantly into esters but this reaction will take a long time for complete conversion.…”

“…Degraded fuel qualities affect the engine's performance and condition, as well as the state of its auxiliary systems. It is possible for the engine filter to become clogged and the fuel injectors to become damaged, resulting in total engine failure; it may also result in increased oil consumption during operation [2,4,5]. Biodiesel degradation occurs via four mechanisms: hydrolysis, which occurs when fuel comes into contact with water or humid air; oxidation, which occurs when biodiesel comes into contact with oxygen in the air; thermal decomposition due to overheating; and bacterial contamination brought about by external exposure to dust, air, or water [2,6,7].…”

“…e use of alternative fuels such as biodiesel is nowadays the center of interest of multiple research groups and engine manufacturers in the automotive industry [1][2][3][4]. Biodiesel is a renewable energy source from vegetable or animal oils; as a methyl ester, it is an environmentally friendly alternative to hydrocarbon liquid fuels such as diesel [5][6][7] that can be used in any diesel engine without change [2].…”
