KETENCİK [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] YAĞI BİYODİZELİNİN ve KARIŞIM YAKITLARININ FİZİKOKİMYASAL ÖZELLİKLERİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

In recent years, the use of vegetable oils in biodiesel production has led to an increase in the importance of oilseed plants. Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is one of the potential plants that can be used in biodiesel production. Camelina is an annual plant in the Brassicacea family and one of the 6 widely known Camelina species (C. sativa, C. laxa, C. rumelica, C. microcarpa, C. Hispida, and C. anomala). In this study, camelina crude oil was obtained from camelina seeds with the help of a screw press and the fatty acid components of this oil were investigated. Biodiesel production (B100) was carried out from camelina crude oil in two stages by transesterification method, and camelina biodiesel was blended with diesel fuel of 20% (B20), 7% (B7) and 2% (B2) at different volumes. The physicochemical properties of these fuels including; (kinematic viscosity, density, water content, calorific value, flash point, cloud point, cold filter plugging point, copper strip corrosion, color) were determined and compared to EN 14214 for B100 pure biodiesel fuel, EN 16709 for B20 fuel, and EN 590 for B7 and B2 fuels. According to the results obtained, it can be said that camelina biodiesel (B100) and blended fuels (B20, B7 and B2) have fuel properties that can be used in diesel engines without being modified.

Determination of Some Physicochemical Properties of Binary Biodiesel and Binary Biodiesel-Diesel Blend Fuels Obtained from Waste Pumpkin Seed- Camelina Oils

“…Addition of diesel to biodiesel + biodiesel blends decreased the density values of the blend fuels. Researchers reported similar results in other studies (Eryilmaz et al, 2022;Nayak et al, 2021;Sirviö et al, 2018).…”

“…C. Ong et al, 2014;Veluru et al, 2022). The unsaturated fatty acid content of pumpkin seed oil ranges between 80-82% (Yücelşengün et al, 2021), while that of camelina oil ranges between 85-86% (Eryilmaz et al, 2022). In biodiesel+biodiesel binary fuel blends, the viscosity value increased as the proportion of camelina increased.…”

“…The biodiesel was dried by stirring in a magnetic stirrer at a temperature of 100ºC to remove the water. (Balci, 2017;Eryilmaz et al, 2022;Şahin, 2021) The production steps described in the transesterification process were applied for both oils and C100 and P100 biodiesels were produced. The change of oils in the production stages described above is given in Figure 4.…”

Physicochemical Characterization and Butanol Impact on Canola and Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesels: A Comparative Analysis with Binary Biodiesel Blends

“…Copper strip corrosion values have been determined as 1a for all fuels, showing similarity according to Ciubota-Rosie et al, (2013); Eryilmaz et al (2022).…”

“…These stages encompass the processing of raw materials, execution of reactions, and purification of the final product in biodiesel production (Eryilmaz et al, 2022;Şahin and Mengeş, 2022).…”
