Effect of Accelerated High Temperature on Oxidation and Polymerization of Biodiesel from Vegetable Oils

Oxidation of biodiesel (BD) obtained from the decomposition of biomass can damage the fuel injection and engine parts during its use as a fuel. The excess heating of vegetable oils can also cause polymerization of the biodiesel. The extent of BD oxidation depends on its fatty acid composition. In th...
