“…Compared to the literature, these values were similar to other FAME from different sources such as olive oil (60.76% methyl oleate and 18.45% methyl linoleate) or rapeseed oil (60. 7% methyl oleate and 20.5% methyl linoleate) (Giuffrè et al, ; Raman et al, ). However, other raw materials, such as sunflower, showed different results (32.47% methyl oleate and 56.18 methyl linoleate) (Giuffrè et al, ).…”

“…If not, biodiesel should be used in mixtures with diesel, or some additives should be added. This way, much research has been carried out about the characterization or influence of FAME in biodiesel from different sources, such as olive oil (Giuffrè et al, ), tomato seed oil (Giuffrè et al, ), sunflower oil (Giuffrè et al, ), or rapeseed oil (Raman et al, ). Concerning additives, both natural and synthetic antioxidants are used, which scavenge free radicals that would attack unsaturated FAME, extending the storage time of biofuels (Dunn, ).…”

Biodiesel is an alternative to mineral fuels, with advantages such as biodegradability. However, this makes biodiesel unstable to oxidation. In this way, the use of natural or synthetic antioxidants is necessary. Although many studies have paid attention to the effect of these antioxidants on oxidation stability, not much literature about their effect of them on other properties (before and during storage) was found. The aim of this research study was to characterize biodiesel from corn and sunflower by adding two antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and tertbutylhydroquinone (TBHQ), in order to improve its oxidation stability. Moreover, the effect of oxidation on the parameters of biodiesel was studied by using extreme oxidation conditions to accelerate the oxidation process. Both antioxidants improved the oxidation stability of biodiesel, whereas some parameters were altered (viscosity and acid number), which could make this biofuel, if high concentrations of antioxidants are used, unsuitable for commercialization according to standards.Keywords BHA Á TBHQ Á Oxidation stability Á Viscosity Á Thermal analysis Á Fatty acid methyl esters J Am Oil Chem Soc (2020) 97: 201-212.

Biodiesel has intrinsic lubricating properties due to the presence of long chain fatty acids, which significantly help to reduce engine wear and tear. Poultry waste as an alternative energy source could aid in reducing greenhouse gases. Biodiesel acknowledges environmental issues as it is less toxic than diesel and is biodegradable too. It is much safer to handle due to its high flash point and consequently, air quality improves dramatically. From the energy point of view, as a renewable source of energy, it helps in energy conservation and ensures regular availability for production of fuel. The chicken feather meal with moderate fat content was utilized to produce biodiesel. In this study, blends were prepared with biodiesel and consist of fatty acid alkyl esters and diesel at different concentrations namely: 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%. These were analyzed for their engine performance characteristics. The blends from B20 to B80 fuels showed the decreased concentration of CO and NOx emissions at variable load when compared to diesel. The engine performance parameters such as brake power output, brake horse power and specific fuel consumption proved that the biodiesel from chicken feather meal can be used as an alternative fuel.

“…Reducing impacts of diesel engines on the environment and human health as well as dependence on traditional fossil fuels is primarily connected with the research in the field of development of biodiesels [2] and renewable and clean types of fuel. In our opinion, the most perspective promising directions of designing new types of diesel engines are the directions of development of biodiesels with alternative fuel technologies, for example, diesel mixtures containing rapeseed oil [3]. The expected results connected with an increase in the percentage of alternative fuel in the conventional diesel fuel are a decrease of exhaust gas temperature and a reduction of hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide emissions on an average of up to 30% for B75 -B100 biodiesels.…”

A method for measuring diesel engines characteristics based on recording the irregularities of time parameters of the crankshaft rotation is proposed. We demonstrate that the change of diesel engines characteristics significantly affects the established norms and limit values of engine emissions of pollutants and harmful substances. The ways of improving the environmental characteristics of diesel engines, including change of fuel composition by adding mixtures are considered. A method of control of the diesel engine parameters consisting in measuring the instantaneous values of the speed of the crankshaft rotation and assessing the deviations of these parameters from normal values has been proposed. The method is implemented in the form of procedures including data collection from sensors installed on the engine, data filtering, and their characteristic analysis. An autonomous measuring device based on the microcontroller has been developed with the help of which data has been collected from the sensors of the 16-cylinder turbocharged engine. We have carried out experiments on process data that determine possibly faulty engine elements that worsen its environmental parameters.
