Energy Recovery Processes from Wastes

Abstract

The biodiesel quality can be maintained by the most significant criteria called ‘Storage oxidation stability.’ The chief technical blockage related with the commercialization of biodiesel is the poor oxidation stability. The investigation of present paper involves the effects of pyrogallol (PY) antioxidant which helps to maintain the thermal stability, accelerated stability, and storage stability for a long tenure by additive concentration. For different concentrations of PY, the C–H bonds and O–H bonds regions following the biodiesel oxidation variability can be characterized by the Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The stability for oxidation can be increased by 95.67%, stability for storage by 15.42% and stability for thermal by 71.24% were obtained by adding up of PY at 950 ppm concentration (B100P3) enhanced with biodiesel which is in pure nature. Further concentration of antioxidant leads to the deterioration of hydrophilic and hydrophobic clusters formation which is characterized by the FTIR spectrum data. From the investigation, it is came to a conclusion that by dosing 950 ppm of PY antioxidant the Alexandrian laurel biodiesel could be accumulated over a long period of time.
