- Summary:
- Oxidation stability is one of the most important properties of fatty-acid methyl esters (biodiesel) used as a blend stock with petroleum diesel to make biodiesel blends. Even so, at the time of this writing, there is no oxidation stability requirement in ASTM Standard Specification D6751, the specification for biodiesel. The primary reason for the absence of an oxidation stability requirement is a lack of agreement on which oxidation stability test method to specify. The European biodiesel specification incorporates the Rancimat test as a measure of oxidation stability. The Rancimat test is one of the methods under consideration for the ASTM specification along with several other stability tests traditionally used for petroleum fuels. The purpose of this project was to compare and evaluate several candidate test methods. The information gathered from this work will be available to aid in the selection of a test method for inclusion in D6751.
