“…The oven temperature was set at 200 °C. Glycerol, mono-(MG), di-(DG) and triglyceride (TG), monoformylmonoacylglycerols (MFMG), monoformyldiacylglycerols (MFDG), diformylmonoacylglycerols (DFMG), monoformylglycerol (MFG), diformylglycerol (DFG), triformin (TFG), and FAME were analyzed using a DB5-HT column (15 m, 0.32 mm, 0.10 μm) under conditions prescribed in standard EN 14105, and the composition of the reaction mixture was calculated as specified in our previous work [15]. The percentage error for the chromatographic analysis was 2%.…”

The blends of varying proportions of biodiesel (FAME) containing formate esters of glycerol and 93.0 wt.% fatty acid methyl esters, obtained in an interesterification reaction with methyl formate without further purification, and winter diesel fuel, were prepared, analyzed and compared with winter diesel fuel. The obtained results showed that blends comprising up to 20 vol.% of FAME fulfill the requirements of the standard LVS EN 590 concerning such characteristics as cold flow properties, viscosity, density, and carbon residue. The increase of FAME content worsens the cold flow properties; however, the mixed fuel with 20 vol.% or lower FAME content, according to the cloud point and cold filter plugging point values, remains in the same severe climate "Class 0" group as winter fuel. The carbon residue of mixed fuels raises with increasing FAME content, but stay low and do not exceed the limits of standard for mixtures with FAME percentage up to 20 vol.%. The comparison of mixed fuels containing 20 vol.% of FAME and the same amount of neat biodiesel (99.6 wt.% of fatty acid methyl esters) shows that the difference is negligible. The obtained results have indicated a good potential of FAME obtained in the interesterification reaction with methyl formate without further purification as a diesel fuel additive for up to 20 vol.%.
