Avaliação quantitativa do micro resíduo de carbono em relação a parâmetros físico-químicos em biodiesel de soja e girassol

Abstract

As the demand for renewable fuels rise, in other words, the biofuels, many mechanical engines demand specific information about these new materials for a proper functioning. Therefore, the analysis of Micro Carbon Residue is a technique being used in the most diverse research environments for the obtainment of organic material residues, which have as purpose the ascertainment of impurities left by the burning process under certain parameters of any given fuel. In this work, the parameterization and completion of experiments in the analyser of Micro Carbon Residue was made, in duplicity, for the biofuels of soy and sunflower oils. According to the results, it can be observed that, probably, the viscosity, the oxidative stability and the moisture content have a correlation with the quantity of Micro Residues. The parameters can also vary significantly according to the type of biofuel used in the experiments.
