One of the main hindrances in the commercialization of biodiesel is its degradability which
occurs on aerobic contact during storage as well as application. The oxidation susceptibility …

Biodiesel and other derivative compounds which could act as biolubricants, can be a
suitable alternative for petroleum products, which are less sustainable and harmful to the …

Biodiesel is an alternative to mineral fuels, with advantages such as biodegradability.
However, this makes biodiesel unstable to oxidation. In this way, the use of natural or …

Double transesterification from vegetable oils could play an important role in biodiesel and
biolubricant production, with the possible implementation of biorefineries to replace …

Nowadays, the biodiesel is the biofuel which is blended into the diesel gas oil with the
highest amount. Biodiesel can be produced from even waste-derived triglycerides (with the …

The use of antioxidants in biodiesels, especially the synthetic TBHQ, has been an efficient
way of maintaining the oxidative stability of biofuel during storage for a longer period …

Oxidation has been measured a major problem for biodiesel commercialization. Auto-
oxidation takes place when exposed to air, heat, light and metallic contaminants which …

The inhibiting effect on fuel ageing of 2, 4-xylenol, a phenolic antioxidant that can be
