Vacuum Distillation of Rapeseed Oil Esters for Production of Jet Fuel Bio-Additives

The impact of reducing fatty acid desaturation on the composition and thermal stability of rapeseed oil

“…Despite the opportunities for exploiting high erucic rapeseed oil as a renewable feedstock, growing demand from the oleochemical industry and its widespread cultivation, there has been relatively little progress increasing the proportion of erucic acid in oil produced commercially (Iakovlieva et al, 2017;Johnson and Fritz, 1989;Knutsen et al, 2016;Meakin, 2007;Nieschlag and Wolff, 1971;R€ obbelen, 1991;Zanetti et al, 2012). Transgenic approaches have enabled exploration of one limitation in the accumulation of erucic acid in storage lipid, that imposed by the Brassica LPAAT enzyme, which cannot incorporate VLCFAs at the sn-2 position of TAG (Bernerth and Frentzen, 1990;Brockerhoff, 1971;Cao et al, 1990;Frentzen, 1993;Katavic et al, 2001;Nath, 2008;Nath et al, 2007;Nath et al, 2009;Sasongko and M€ ollers, 2005).…”

“…Erucic acid containing oils have high degree of lubricity and substantivity (ability to cling to the surfaces) than other oils (Piazza and Foglia, 2001). Erucic acid is derived into products such as erucamide, behenyl alcohol, brassylic acid, pelargonic acid, behenic acid, brassinolide and erucyl erucate (Caballero, 2006;Carlson et al, 1977;Molnar, 1974;Neischlag et al, 1967), which are used in the production of a wide range of industrial products, such as lubricants, slip additives, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, jet fuels, plasticizers, soaps, detergents, surfactants, textiles, recording material, rubber, nylon production and many more (Chang et al, 2013;Getachew et al, 2016;Iakovlieva et al, 2017;Johnson and Fritz, 1989;Neischlag et al, 1967;Nieschlag and Wolff, 1971;Pennick et al, 2012;Piazza and Foglia, 2001;Van Dyne and Blas e, 1991;Zanetti et al, 2012). Although other species have been evaluated for the production of erucic acid, the main source remains OSR (Hebard, 2016;Lalas et al, 2012;Sanyal et al, 2015).…”

Physical-chemical properties of biodiesel fuels based on camelina oil ethyl esters

“…З цих же міркувань культивування технічних культур, таких як ріпак, обмежується доступними для вирощування площами. На сьогодні однією з найперспективніших альтернативних олійних культур, що характеризу-ється низькими вимогами до умов вирощування є рижій посівний (Camelina sativa L.) [1][2][3][4][5]. Культура рижію є вельми невибагливою до якості ґрунтів, кліматичних умов вирощування, стійкою до шкідників, хвороб та холодів, не потребує внесення великої кількості мінеральних добрив.…”

Improvement of Air Transport Environmental Safety by Implementing Alternative Jet Fuels

“…We have studied two samples of alternative JFs, which were prepared by blending conventional JF and bioadditives based on fatty acids ethyl esters (FAEE) of rapeseed oil (RO). FAEE were produced in the Institute of bioorganic chemistry and petrochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and were specially modified by vacuum distillation according to the method described in in previous studies of authors [12]. Designation of fuel samples used for studying exhaust gases emission is given in table 2.…”
