Review of the stability of biodiesel produced from less common vegetable oils of African origin
(South African Journal of Science, 2015-09-25)
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 ...
Impact of Antioxidant Additives on the Engine Performance and Exhaust Emissions Using Biodiesel made from Jatropha Oil of Eastern Africa Origin
(Journal of the South African Institution of Mechanical Engineering, 2016)
Biodiesel’s chemical nature makes it more susceptible to
oxidation in comparison to mineral diesel. Biodiesels are
doped with antioxidants to increase oxidation stability for
long term storage. However, it is quite ...
