Definitions

  • Biodiesel is one way to achieve diversification.
  • Biodiesel is a generic name for mono-alkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids derived from renewable lipid sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, or used cooking oils and fats.
  • Biodiesel fuels have many names, depending on the feedstocks used to produce them, for example, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), rapeseed methyl ester (RME), used vegetable oil methyl ester (UVOME), soybean oil methyl ester (SOME) or palm oil methyl ester (POME).
  • FAME fatty acid methyl ester
  • RME rapeseed methyl ester
  • UVOME used vegetable oil methyl ester
  • SOME soybean oil methyl ester
  • POME palm oil methyl ester
  • Biodiesel feedstocks vary widely in their fatty acid compositions (chain length and saturation).
  • Biodiesel is typically produced by the reaction of a vegetable oil or an animal fat with an alcohol, such as methanol, in the presence of a catalyst to yield methyl esters (the biodiesel) and glycerine.
  • a catalyst such as methanol
  • the most commonly used catalyst, potassium hydroxide, is used in transesterification of a wide range of oils and fats, from vegetable to animal, from virgin to used, including those with the highest acid contents.
  • the thus produced biodiesel can be distilled to remove excess alcohols and other impurities.
  • Other methods for production of biodiesel are known.
  • Freshly produced vegetable oils are protected from oxidation by the presence of naturally occurring antioxidants (for example, tocopherols).
  • antioxidants for example, tocopherols
  • the manufacturing process for biodiesel tends to remove some of the natural antioxidants, leaving the fuel less protected from oxidative degradation.
  • distillation of the biodiesel tends to remove essentially all the natural antioxidants leaving the fuel even further unprotected from oxidative degradation.
  • Oxidation of biodiesel by contact with air and metal surfaces results in the formation of hydroperoxides. These induce free-radical chain reactions that lead to decomposition into low-molecular-weight, highly oxidized species (aldehydes, ketones, acids) and high-molecular-weight polymeric materials (gums).
  • aldehydes, ketones, acids aldehydes, ketones, acids
  • high-molecular-weight polymeric materials gums
  • These gums tend to cause poor combustion and other engine problems such as deposits on injectors and piston
  • the RANCIMAT test is a widely accepted method for measuring the oxidation stability of biodiesel. This test consists of bubbling air through biodiesel that has been heated to 110° C. The amount of short-chain acids present in the distillate (the cleavage products of the fatty acid oxidation) is a direct indication of the oxidation stability of the biodiesel.
  • biodiesel has to fulfill a six-hour RANCIMAT test requirement at the production plant and at the pump when refueling vehicles, irrespective of the age of the biodiesel. Other countries may institute similar requirements. Although freshly produced biodiesel may show an oxidation stability (measured by the RANCIMAT method) of more than six hours, this value will decrease over time under common storage conditions if no antioxidants are present.
  • Antioxidants are used in hydrocarbon fuels to increase oxidation stability.
  • the oxidation stability of biodiesel can also be increased by the addition of antioxidants.
  • antioxidant technology for biodiesel is not as well-developed.
