Use of P-DSC in the evaluation of antioxidant efficiency
increase of global temperature. Biofuels have been pointed out as one of the ecological alternatives to petroleum, in order to reduce, at the short period, the CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere, thus contributing to reduce the greenhouse effect. Biodiesel
may seem insignificant today. But such oils may become in course of time as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time ” [ 5 ]. In this context, biodiesel stands out among the products derived from modern biomass as an
.5 millions of tons, approximately 500,000 tons of poultry fat are usually rejected [ 2 ]. The low commercial value of the poultry fat associated with physicochemical properties appropriated to biodiesel production make of this raw material an excellent option
Introduction In Brazil, the soy, cotton, and palm oils are used more for the obtainment of biodiesel, besides the bovine suet. It is viewed to search for alternatives to guarantee the quantity of raw material necessary to the
Biodiesels from beef tallow/soybean oil/babassu oil blends
Correlation between fluid dynamic properties and TMDSC data
Introduction Biodiesel is mainly produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils and fats via alkaline catalysis, in which the triacylglycerides are converted into fatty acid esters by reaction with an alcohol, usually
Introduction Brazil is a country that due to its tropical and subtropical territorial extension and climate propitiates ample raw material diversity for the biodiesel production [ 1 ]. The country holds a position as a bulwark
. Biodiesel has been shown to be a good alternative because it is easy to manufacture on a large scale [ 1 ] and provide environmental benefits since it is originated from renewable sources. Studies showed that the incorporation of biodiesel in diesel reduces
Biodiesel from soybean oil, castor oil and their blends
Oxidative stability by PDSC and rancimat
Introduction The use of biodiesel as fuel has become attractive mainly by ecological benefits as it is produced from renewable fonts [ 1 ]. In Brazil, among the raw materials used in the biodiesel obtaining soybean oil [ 2
Introduction Actually, with the gradual depletion of fossil fuels, the development of renewable energy sources is of great importance. Biodiesel is defined as the monoalkyl ester derivatives of long chain fatty acids, produced
Introduction In order to replace the petroleum-based fuels, biodiesel became a significant alternative between the biomass products as consequence of its economic, social and environmental positive impacts [ 1 – 5 ]. It is
