Abstract
Abstract Biodiesel is considered a renewable energy source, making it possible to reduce the use of fossil fuels and the emissions of gasses derived from sulfur oxides. It is one of the alternatives to diesel due to its similar physicochemical properties. However, this biofuel contains unsaturated methyl esters in its composition, which makes it susceptible to oxidation. Among the factors that alter its chemical stability is its contamination by transition metal ions. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of Cu2+, Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in the oxidative stability of biodiesel using Gabiroba leaves extract as a natural antioxidant. Metal ions were added to biodiesel in the presence and absence of the extract to evaluate their effect in the induction period and the kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of the oxidation reaction. The Gabiroba leaves extract inhibited the catalytic action of Fe2+ and Cu2+ cations in biodiesel, but this effect was not observed with Fe3+. The thermodynamic parameters of the reactions evaluated by the Eyring equation, based on the activated complex theory, indicated that in all cases the process was non-spontaneous and endothermic: ΔG‡ > 0, ΔH‡ > 0, and negative ΔS‡ values.

期刊介绍:
Current energy systems need a vast transformation to meet the key demands of the 21st century: reduced environmental impact, economic viability and efficiency. An essential part of this energy revolution is bioenergy.
The movement towards widespread implementation of first generation biofuels is still in its infancy, requiring continued evaluation and improvement to be fully realised. Problems with current bioenergy strategies, for example competition over land use for food crops, do not yet have satisfactory solutions. The second generation of biofuels, based around cellulosic ethanol, are now in development and are opening up new possibilities for future energy generation. Recent advances in genetics have pioneered research into designer fuels and sources such as algae have been revealed as untapped bioenergy resources.
As global energy requirements change and grow, it is crucial that all aspects of the bioenergy production process are streamlined and improved, from the design of more efficient biorefineries to research into biohydrogen as an energy carrier. Current energy infrastructures need to be adapted and changed to fulfil the promises of biomass for power generation.
Biofuels provides a forum for all stakeholders in the bioenergy sector, featuring review articles, original research, commentaries, news, research and development spotlights, interviews with key opinion leaders and much more, with a view to establishing an international community of bioenergy communication.
As biofuel research continues at an unprecedented rate, the development of new feedstocks and improvements in bioenergy production processes provide the key to the transformation of biomass into a global energy resource. With the twin threats of climate change and depleted fossil fuel reserves looming, it is vitally important that research communities are mobilized to fully realize the potential of bioenergy.
