Effects of storage temperature and storage duration of biodiesel properties, visual appearances and emision [PDF]

, 2013
Biofuels based on vegetable oils offer the advantage being a sustainable and environmentally attractive alternative to conventional petroleum based fuel. Biodiesel is produced from any fat or oil such as soybean oil, through a refinery process called

Desulfurization of Benzothiophene Derivatives by Solvent Extraction Coupled With Oxidation Using Oxomolybdenum(VI) Bis(pyrazolyl)methane Catalysts

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
A polymeric hybrid material formulated as [MoO3(bis(pyrazolyl)methane)] has been prepared and used as a catalyst precursor for the complete oxidative desulfurization of a model diesel containing recalcitrant benzothiophene derivatives. The precursor is converted in situ to an oxodiperoxo active species which is retained in the recyclable extractant ...

Bioremediation of biodiesel and diesel contaminated soil by pseudomonas putida [PDF]

, 2015
As occurs to the diesel fuel, the commercialization of biodiesel and their diesel blends can cause environmental damages due to accidental spillage. Presence of these contaminants containing polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil is toxic to humans ...

Experimental viscosity measurements of biodiesels at high pressure [PDF]

, 2016
The viscosity of biodiesels of soybean and rapeseed biodiesels blended with mineral diesel fuel were measured at pressures of up to 200 MPa. Using a falling sinker-type viscometer reproducible viscosity data were obtained based on the time taken for a ...

Awareness, use, and perceptions of biodiesel: A comparison of consumers in Belgium and the United States [PDF]

, 2013
Belgian (N = 61) and American (N = 134) fuel consumers were interviewed in the summer of 2012 to determine their awareness, use, and perceptions of biodiesel. Consumers who were aware of biodiesel were asked their perceptions.

Time-Frequency Dynamics of Biofuels-Fuels-Food System

, 2012
For the first time, we apply the wavelet coherence methodology on biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) and a wide range of related commodities (gasoline, diesel, crude oil, corn, wheat, soybeans, sugarcane and rapeseed oil).

Application of Principal Component Analysis and Probabilistic Neural Networks in Ferralsols Recovery Evaluation Through Planting of Mabea Fistulifera and Eucalyptus Urograndis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an innovative assessment model for analyzing the evolution of degraded soils subjected to different reclamation strategies. The proposal combines statistical and artificial intelligence tools to jointly integrate multiple physical and chemical soil properties, allowing for a more synthetic view of the processes.
