Abstract:
Biodiesel quality is critical for commercialization and market acceptance. It is important that reaction conversion yield, removal of glycerol, absence of poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), removal of alcohol, and absence of free fatty acids are monitored.
This presentation will highlight an automated approach to the analysis of biodiesel according to ASTM method D6584 (determination of f free and total glycerol and mono-, di-, triglyceride contents), as well as EN methods 14110 (residual methanol) and 14103 (total FAMEs (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) and Linolenic Methyl Ester (C18:3)).
