The vegetable oil, fats and their biodiesel suffer with the drawback of deterioration of its
quality during long term storage unlike petroleum diesel due to large number of …

The main goal of this paper is to extend an existing biomass characterization method, which,
on the basis of the elemental carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen composition, derives the …

The global shortages of fossil fuels, significant increase in the price of crude oil, and
increased environmental concerns have stimulated the rapid growth in biodiesel production …

Thermogravimetric analysis in conjunction with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-
FTIR) is used to investigate thermal degradation properties of oleic acid and its esterification …

The main factors responsible for the oxidative processes of biodiesel are oxygen, metal
traces, high temperature and the amount of unsaturated fatty acids. The biodiesel quality is …

In this study, two highly thermotolerant and methanol-tolerant lipase-producing bacteria
were isolated from cooking oil and they exhibited a high number of catalytic lipase activities …

The surface tension is one of the main properties for characterization of the quality of the fuel
atomization process for its use in a diesel engine. There is a lack of published information …

The research for new alternative energy sources has encouraged the study of different raw
materials for the production of biodiesel. This work evaluated the use of murumuru …
