Abstract
Abstract Deodorizer distillate is the primary waste product of the processing of vegetable oils. A two-step process, involving esterification and transesterification, was carried out on the deodorizer distillate to convert it into biodiesel. The properties of the produced biodiesel were measured and found to be comparable with diesel. The current study includes the compatibility of elastomers and the engine performance of biodiesel. The first section discusses the stability and degradation of several automotive elastomers with biodiesel according to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards. This study (as per SAE J1748) presents the degrading behavior of automotive elastomers with biodiesel using a different scientific technique. A static immersion test was conducted to study the degradation behavior of the elastomers when immersed in conventional diesel and biodiesel as per the standards mentioned above. The results show the stability and degradability of six different types of elastomers when used with biodiesel. Viton and neoprene showed more degradation in biodiesel and diesel than other elastomers. Nitrile butadine rubber (NBR) showed about 715% elongation for diesel and 703% elongation for biodiesel, while polyvinyl chloride (PVC) alone showed an increase in tensile strength of 7.63% and 15.2% for diesel and biodiesel, respectively. Regarding combustion and emissions performance, the biodiesel showed satisfactory results.

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.
