Biodiesel has widely been produced from common edible oils; however, food versus fuel conficts has motivated researchers to search for other less common feedstock for production of biodiesel. Thus, this study investigates ...

The stability of biodiesel is dependent on storage conditions such as contact with ambient air and metals, exposure to sunlight and high temperature conditions which accelerate oxidation reactions. In addition, biodiesels ...

The effect of metal contents and antioxidant additives on the storage stability of biodiesel produced from less common non-edible oils of Eastern Africa origin (Croton megalocarpus and Moringa oleifera) were evaluated and ...

The fatty acid methyl esters (FAME)produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste oils known as biodiesel has attracted attention as possible replacement of fossil fuels. The fuel properties of biodiesel are similar ...
