“…These crystals experience significantly reduced growth and agglomeration rates as temperature decreases below cloud point. On the other hand, although most of these crystals are caught in fuel filters, the cake layer formed on the filter surface is considerably more permeable to fuel flow and therefore the magnitude of their deteriorating impact on cold flow properties of biodiesel is much less (Misra and Murthy, 2011). Despite of good performance of acetone as fuel stabilizer and cold flow improver, it is a flammable solvent with a flash point value of as low as -17 o C, and could potentially deteriorate the safe-storage criterion of the fuel; therefore, the effect of acetone inclusion on EPS-biodiesel was also investigated by assessing the flash point value of the EPS-biodieselacetone blends.…”

HIGHLIGHTS Investigating the unique biosolvent features of biodiesel.  Biodiesel; a unique bio-solvent to recycle the waste polymers e.g. EPS.  Investigating various solvents to stabilize biodiesel-polymer fuel blend.  Improving cold flow characteristic of biodiesel-polymer fuel blend using acetone. Due to the fast fossil fuel depletion and at the same time global warming phenomenon anticipated for the next coming years, the necessity of developing alternative fuels e.g. biofuels (i.e. bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas and etc.) has turned into an important concern. Recently, the application of the bio-solvency properties of biodiesel for recycling waste polymers has been highlighted. However, the impact of polymer dissolution on cold flow characteristics of biodiesel was never investigated. The present study was set to explore the impact of different solvents in stabilizing biodiesel-polymer solution. Among them, acetone was proved to be the best fuel stabilizer. Subsequently, cold flow characteristic i.e. cloud point, of the biodieselpolymer-acetone fuel was found to have improved (decreased) due to the inclusion of acetone. Finally, flash point analysis of the fuel blends containing acetone was done to ensured high safety of the fuel blend by dramatically increasing the flash point values of biodiesel-polymer fuel blends.

“…Misra and Murthy [32] relate in a review study different additives used to improve the cold flow properties of biodiesels and the performance of a diesel engine and its emissions while using additive blended biodiesels. According to the authors: (a) the low-temperature flow properties of biodiesel fuels are less favorable than diesel fuel, but when blended with additives like ethanol, kerosene, methanol, and orange oil, the cold flow performance is improved, and (b) ethanol seems to be a good additive as the power produced is comparable to the diesel engine operation and it has a lot of advantage over the biodiesel operation in respect of CO, HC, and NO x pollutant emissions.…”

This chapter briefly focuses on the use of biodiesel and natural gas in dual-fuel diesel engines, providing information about natural gas and biodiesel, and their characteristics, engine performance and exhaust gas emissions. The theoretical and experimental study provides analysis of a commercial compression ignition engine operating in dual mode with three fuels: natural gas, diesel and biodiesel at different load and biodiesel blends. On the basis of the results, the effects of air conditions, and the type and quantity of fuel used over the engine performance and environmental impact are reported, and viability of natural gas and biodiesel as alternative fuels for diesel engines is verified.
