“…It was observed that the band at 1693 cm −1 , in particular among juvenile wood samples, was strongly associated with the content of wood extractives. It might be of practical interest to investigate this feature in more detail, as wood extractives play an important role in many end-uses and serve, for instance, as natural preservatives of wood materials, natural fungicides (Hart 1981;Pearce 1996), or might be utilized as an appealing source of bioenergy, for example for vehicles (Panithasan et al 2019).…”

The chemical composition of wood is one of the key features that determine wood quality. The focus of this study was on identifying differences between juvenile and mature woods in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and developing models for predicting the chemical composition of these two wood types. Chemical traits, determined by traditional wet chemistry techniques, included the proportion of lignin, polysaccharides and extractives. Partial least squares regression of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra was used for model building. The model performance was primarily evaluated by root mean squared error of predictions (RMSEP). High predictive power was attained for the content of lignin (RMSEP of 0.476 and 0.495 for juvenile and mature woods, respectively) and extractives (0.302 and 0.471), good predictive power for cellulose (0.715 and 0.696) and hemicelluloses in juvenile wood (0.719) and low predictive power for hemicelluloses in mature wood (0.823). A distinct band was observed at 1693 cm −1 , and its intensity was strongly associated with the content of extractives (r = 0.968 and 0.861 in juvenile and mature woods, respectively). FTIR has proved suitable for the rapid, non-destructive, costefficient assessment of the chemical composition of juvenile and mature woods in Scots pine. The band at 1693 cm −1 is to be further investigated to unravel its link with individual extractive components.

“…However, no significant improvement was noticed due to the blending of fuels with different physiochemical properties. Similar to alcohols, essential oils which are well known for their lower viscosity such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil, lemongrass oil and lemon peel oil have also been tried as a potential biofuel in diesel engines [18][19][20][21][22]. Even though both alcohols and essential oils have a lower cetane number, they can be used in CI engine by altering their ignition properties.…”

This paper aims to evaluate the impact of cetane improvers on the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fueled with a 20% peppermint bio-oil/diesel blend (P20). It is hypothesized that the low viscosity and boiling point of peppermint oil could improve the atomization characteristics of the fuel. However, the usage of peppermint oil is restricted due to its low cetane index. To improve this, Diethyl Ether (DEE) and Di- tertiary Butyl Peroxide (DTBP) are added to the P20 blend. The tests are performed in a single-cylinder naturally aspirated water-cooled diesel engine and results indicate that NOx emission for P20 + DEE and P20 + DTBP is decreased by 10.4% and 9.8%, respectively, when compared to P20 at full load condition. Among these two cetane improvers, DTBP is more effective in reducing the CO, HC and smoke emission and the performance of the engine was reported to be higher for P20 + DTBP blends.

“…The oil is pale yellow and has a fresh forest smell and odor; it is easily soluble with alcohol and other mineral oils. The oil is extracted from the oleoresin by a steam-distillation method before it is treated with some acids to synthesize the required pine oil. , The oil in appearance has much lower viscosity, and this property is closely comparable with that of eucalyptus. The chemical structure of pine oil consists of hydrocarbon molecules with oxygen, and it is called an alicyclic hydrocarbon.…”

Under the roof of solid industrialization and accelerated intensification of multiple ranges of mobilization, a huge rise in precious fuel consumption and pollution was observed. Based on the recent hardships of fossil fuels, experts are undoubtedly eager in carrying out their research in renewable environment-friendly fuels. There have been many reviews of works considering the parameters and standards of biodiesel, which is only from various vegetable and seed oils. But very little review work was carried out on only plant-based biofuel. Plant-based fuel has a lower viscosity and higher volatility properties. The target of this review was to make a bridge to overcome these research gaps. This review extensively studies the biological background, production outcome, properties, and reliability of plant-based biofuel and also deeply investigates the feasibility of usage in a diesel engine. From deep investigation it was identified that most of the low viscous fuel had higher brake thermal efficiency (BTE) (2% to 4%) and NOx emission (5% to 10%) than high viscous biodiesel. The formation of hydrocarbon (HC), CO, and smoke emission was similar to high viscous biodiesel. Overall, the low viscous fuel effectively improves the engine behaviors.
