Inhibiting Acid Formation and Oxidation of Groundnut Oil Biodiesel Using Green Additives
O. S. Edema
Abstract:The engine performance of biodiesel had become a major concern. Improving the acid and oxidation stability of groundnut oil biodiesel (GOME), with various plant waste extracts, was carried out on in this study. Freshly prepared GOME was blended with onion extract (OE) and ginger extract (JE), at the rate of 100:1 parts per million, and stored at a temperature of 30±50C for 28 days. At the end of the experimental period, the acid content and oxidation value of the biodiesel treated with both natural additives, … Show more
