4. 13. Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Biodiesel Deposits Formed on a Hot Metal Surface

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Emilie Westberg; [2013]
   Keywords : Fatty Acid Methyl Ester FAME ; Biodiesel deposits; SEM EDS; ATR-FTIR; GCMS;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the formation of deposits from thermally degraded biodiesel on a hot metal surface under the influence of sodium or copper contaminations. Biodiesel or Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) is a widely utilized biofuel with the potential to replace fossil fuels, however, issues regarding the thermal and oxidative stability prevent the progress of biodiesel for utilization as vehicle fuel.
