Abstract:The goal of the present study was to determine the potential use of thermal analysis for the measurement of the light crude oil (LCO) content of standard biodiesel mixtures. Standard samples of biodiesel/LCO blends were prepared with different ratios of biodiesel; LCO: 1:0 (biodiesel only), 1:3, 1:1, 3:1, 0:1 (LCO only). Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry were used to determine the usefulness of thermal analysis for quantification of the LCO in the mixtures.
