Abstract:
This talk will cover the new ASTM Standard Test Method for Determining Trace Elements in Biodiesel and Biodiesel Blends by Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (MP-AES). This test method covers determining elements in biodiesel and biodiesel blends by MP-AES; calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sodium (Na). It is well understood that the presence of metals and metalloids in engine fuels can influence the performance of engines and contribute to shortening the lifetime of the equipment. In addition, some elements act as catalyst poison contributing to increases in the number of unwanted gases and particulate matter emitted by vehicles.This talk will cover the new ASTM Standard Test Method for Determining Trace Elements in Biodiesel and Biodiesel Blends by Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (MP-AES).
