The excessive consumption of petroleum resources leads to global warming, fast depletion
of petroleum reserves, as well as price instability of gasoline. Thus, there is a strong need for …

Nowadays, the awareness about the environment rose among general civic to search for an
alternative fuel that could burn with not as much of the pollution. In general, all the vegetable …

On January 1 2008, Brazil included yet another element into its energy matrix: biodiesel. The
predominant biodiesel production process involves a phase of transesterification that yields …

The flash points (FPs) of some pure fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) and their mixtures with
ethanol were measured in the present study. An empirical model to predict the FPs of pure …

It was recently demonstrated that a nano-clustering was present in the monophasic “pre-
Ouzo” region of ternary liquid mixtures without surfactants. The goal of this work is to check if …

The knowledge and the capacity to describe the phase equilibria of systems composed by
transesterification products are very important for an adequate design and operation of …

The aim of this work is to analyze the possibility of separating isopropyl acetate and 2-
propanol, an azeotropic system, by using glycerol. Thus, liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data …

In this study, the fatty acid alkyl esters composing the basic molecular structures of
biodiesels were used to predict the characteristics of biodiesel fuels. The characteristics of …

This work is a continuation on our previous contribution [Cripwell et al., Fluid Phase
Equilibria 483 (2019): 1–13] that presented a formalised approach for cross-association in …

The challenges in reducing the world's dependence on crude oil and the greenhouse gas
accumulation in the atmosphere, while simultaneously improving engine performance …
