Identification and Determination of Bio-Diesel in Diesel

Experimental analysis of low temperature combustion mode with diesel and biodiesel fuels: A method for reducing NOx and soot emissions

“…The advantages of biodiesel fuel are based on its renewability, extremely low sulfur and aromatic content [8], high cetane numberusually higher than mineral diesel fuel, higher biodegradability [9] and the presence of oxygen in its molecules, making it a cleanerburning fuel [10].…”

Biodiesel Fuel from Triglycerides via Transesterification—A Review

“…Bio-fuels are found to be the hope in this connection and are ecofriendly. These fuels are non-toxic, biodegradable, and free of sulphur and carcinogenic compounds like benzene (Sastry et al, 2006).…”

Thermal lens spectroscopy for the differentiation of biodiesel-diesel blends

“…Methods based on radiocarbon analysis, ester number, saponification number, near-infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, liquid and gas chromatography, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy have been reported. [6][7][8][9][10] Fluorescence spectroscopy has recently been used in the characterization of different materials and it allows in loco measurements using portable systems that are already commercially available. 11,12 Despite the several proposed methods for quantifying the biodiesel content in blended fuels, developing alternative methods that combine low cost, fast, and accurate results, portability for in loco measurements, as well as reducing cost and analysis time, is still a research objective.…”
