Long-term storage and quality stability of biodiesel fuels

Abstract

A special nano-composition of biodiesel was created that can increase the storage capacity and quality stability of the biodiesel fuel. The group compositions of pure nano-biodiesel and its blends with mineral diesel fuel were analyzed using a Fourier Infra Red (IR) spectrometer, and the individual hydrocarbons were identified by a gas chromatograph. The group compositions and physical and chemical parameters of the nano-biodiesel fuel fully met the standards and remained stable from 2018 through 2021, proving that this type of biodiesel can be stored for more than 4 years while maintaining physical and chemical properties and quality parameters.
