The Role of Additives for Diesel and Diesel Blended (Ethanol or Biodiesel) Fuels: A Review

“…The studies showed the weak effect of the additive compounds containing carbonyl, ether, and ester groups on the antiwear properties of the fuel. The following compounds are in ascending order with respect to antiwear effectiveness: ethers, aldehydes and ketones, esters, alcohols, and acids …”

Comparison of the physicochemical characteristics of biofuels and petroleum fuels

“…The weighted mean mo lecular weight is rep orted for SAG, WAG, RO, ROTG, ROME, HAME, SO, and CO. Table 1 An analysis of the many developments in this direction [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] showed that hopes for ensuring a number of advantages over petroleum fuels, namely, the excellent environmental characteristics of their production, storage, shipment, and use, have been placed on biofuel. The closeness of the chemical composition of biofuels to traditional fuels should in turn keep the performance properties unchanged.…”

Estimating the biofuel combustion heat on the basis of extracted substances from wooden wastes

“…In this connection, interest attaches to alternative forms of liquid and gaseous fuels [1-21] derived from plant biomasses: renewed sources of organic raw material [1][2][3][4], and considerable stores of this contain liquid of nature [5]. Various forms of biofuel are proposed: alcohols (biomethanol and bioethanol) [6-10], plant oils (biodiesel) [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], and sources of these provided by maize, beetroots, sugar canes, wheat, rice, rapes, soya, and so on. However, fuel problems result in other direct contests: direct competition with the use of nutrition products, and also foods for agricultural animals.…”
