biodiesel

In the present study, the effects of biodiesel obtained from safflower oil through transesterification and Eurodiesel blends on engine exhaust emissions were examined in a four-stroke, common-rail fuel system, water-cooled, fourcylinder diesel engine. The biodiesel used in this study was produced from safflower oil through transesterification. Using this biodiesel and diesel fuel, fuel blends of B7 (7% safflower methyl ester-93% diesel fuel in volume), B40 and B80 fuels were prepared. Experiments were conducted on the engine by using these fuel blends.

The technological features of the process of obtaining the methyl esters of carboxylic acids from renewable materials were analyzed. The results showed that the waste vegetable oil can be used as raw material for biofuels production. However, to increase product yield and its quality technological scheme of obtaining the product correction is needed.
