Physicochemical Properties of Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) Seed Oil, Its Biodiesel and Blends with Diesel

E. I. Bello & F. Otu · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2014

Literature search shows that research on feed stocks for the production of biodiesel in Africa have not been well documented. To close this gap, a research project was initiated to measure the fuel and physicochemical properties of common vegetable oils in Nigeria. The works on c...

Use of Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy for Analysis of Functional Groups in Peanut Oil Biodiesel and Its Blends

A. Y. Oyerinde & E. I. Bello · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2015

Aims: The paper studied how fourier transformation infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy can be used to monitor homogenous alkali catalyzed alcoholysis of peanut oil and methanol to produce biodiesel. The spectrum generated was used to identify the functional groups in the fuel sample fo...
