Model for the Correction of the Specific Gravity of Biodiesel From Residual Oil

Abstract

Biodiesel is an important fuel with economic benefits, social and environmental. The production cost of the biodiesel can be significantly lowered if the raw material is replaced by a alternative material as residual oil. In this study, the variation of specific gravity with temperature increase for diesel and biodiesel from residual oil obtained by homogeneous basic catalysis. All properties analyzed for biodiesel are within specification Brazil. The determination of the correction algorithm for the specific gravity function of temperature is also presented, and the slope of the line to diesel fuel, methylic biodiesel (BMR) and ethylic biodiesel (BER) from residual oil were respectively the values-0.7089,-0.7290 and-0.7277. This demonstrates the existence of difference of the model when compared chemically different fuels, like diesel and biodiesel from different sources, indicating the importance of determining the specific algorithm

Ptimization and Characterization of Used Cooking Oil for Biodiesel Production Using Response Surface Methodology

“…In recent years the demand for renewable fuels has greatly increased, the alarming increase in the price of oil and the concern for the environment due to climate change induced by the use of fossil fuels, has placed renewable energy sources extremely important (Rosa et al, 2013). Currently the most dominant resources for world energy supply are crude oil, coal and gas (IEA, 2015).…”

Identification of adulterant and alcohol route in biodiesel using mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy

“…Biodiesel is a fuel derived from renewable energy sources, and has been proposed as an alternative to fossil fuels, mainly due to its environmental benefits (Meher et al 2006, Nabi et al 2006, Varun et al 2013, Silva et al 2013. It has been marketed in several countries, and in Brazil it is currently sold mixed with up to 8% diesel.…”

Aplicação de espectroscopia no infravermelho médio e calibração multivariada para quantificação de adulterantes em biodieseis de óleo de soja e residual e suas misturas com diesel

“…As matériasprimas testadas no processo de produção de biodiesel foram: pinhão-manso, pequi, baru, macaúba, girassol, canola, algodão, milho, soja, óleo residual e sebo bovino [29]. Em 2009 o Professor Doutor Waldomiro Borges Neto criou o Laboratório de Quimiometria do Triângulo (LQT) dando início à parceria com o LABIO-UFU em pesquisas visando à otimização multivariada dos parâmetros de produção de biodieseis [30], desenvolvimento de algoritmos matemáticos para determinação de coeficientes de expansão térmica e volumétricos para diferentes biodieseis [31,32], e posteriormente o desenvolvimento e validação de métodos baseados na aplicação de técnicas analíticas [33] aliadas aos métodos quimiométricos para controle de qualidade de biodieseis e suas misturas com diesel [34].…”
