“…Biodiesel fuel is subjected to facile both aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation by wild-type bacteria commonly present in natural environments. , This result should lessen any environmental concern for its use as alternative fuel, solvent or lubricant. However, when this degradation occurs during fuel storage, it is obviously detrimental to fuel quality.…”

As the availability of petroleum-based liquid fuels is becoming increasingly problematic, alternative renewable biofuels attract growing research and development (R&D) and industry interest. The focus is to produce fuels with desired properties in both technically and economically attractive ways to support sustainability and protect the environment. While abundant, the variety of biomass feedstocks brings a great deal of incompatibility of various biofuels and the combustion engines. A consistent theme is that better knowledge of fuel properties would lead to better designs and shorter development times of everything from fuel production facilities to emission control systems. Thermophysical properties of biofuels are required to efficiently design the processes involved in their production, distribution, and utilization. These properties are also needed to develop and validate physicochemical models, the tools employed in process design, product development, or academic research. To date, the connection between the expertise in fluid properties and an integrating knowledge of where and how these properties are employed has not been adequately developed. Accordingly, the main goal of this review is to unite and set out the potential for synergy between all of the essential steps of fuel production and applications (from feedstock selection to the end use) with the properties of the fuel at each step. An integrating approach on a broad scale is helpful for the increasing number of fuel researchers, process engineers, entrepreneurs, and end users. This review discusses the main driving forces that are likely to encourage further development and move the emerging biofuel technologies from promising ideas to competitive solutions.

“…Considera-se também, cada vez mais, que a conservação preventiva e de manutenção devem ter um papel primordial, na medida em que permitem reduzir as intervenções de restauro [12]. A falta de limpeza e de manutenção de edifícios e monumentos históricos é um dos fatores que contribui de forma mais decisiva para a colonização biológica e deterioração [13].…”

“…São exemplos preocupantes a abertura de grandes vãos na parede de fachada ou a supressão de elementos resistentes ao nível do rés-do-chão, muitas vezes decorrentes da mudança de função do edifício. As alterações de uso ou de ocupação de um edifício são aceitáveis, desde que não motivem intervenções estruturais e arquitectónicas intrusivas e que sejam devidamente pautadas pelo rigor e ponderação [13].…”

“…In USA, B20 is widely used. 39 There are several studies performed so far by different researchers [40][41][42] to characterise the emission and performance behaviour of different diesel-biodiesel blends including B30. The present study aims to investigate the effect of phenolic anti-oxidants, which are more effective than amine-based anti-oxidants, 29 (PY, PG and BHT) in varying concentration on the wear and friction of B30 blend.…”

Biodiesel is used in many countries as blends with diesel fuel. However, the main obstacle in biodiesel/diesel blends acceptance, commercialization worldwide and using higher blends seems to be its ability to oxidise and increase wear and friction of automotive parts. An experimental investigation has been carried out to analyse the effect of three different anti‐oxidants on the lubricity of palm biodiesel–diesel blend (B30) and to optimise anti‐oxidant concentration based on the performance. The three phenolic anti‐oxidants, butylated hydroxytoluene, propylgallate and pyrogallol, were tested using four‐ball tribotester for 1 h with 1500 rpm and 40 kg load, at ambient temperature. These three anti‐oxidants were used in varying concentrations of 200, 400 and 600 ppm. Propylgallate anti‐oxidant showed most effective results by enhancing the lubricity of the blend in terms of reduced wear and friction. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
