Determination of the effect of the 2nd generation biodiesel additive on the fractional composition of biofuels
The aim of the study was to determine how using the 2nd generation biodiesels generated from the fat obtained from the leather industry as additives affects the fractional composition of fuels. The works included testing biodiesels with the five-, twenty-, fifty-percent content (v/v) of the 2nd generation biocomponents, i.e. B5, B20 and B50 fuels were generated. The results of a study of pure diesel fuel and the 1st generation RME biodiesel were used for comparison. The study has shown that the 2nd generation biodiesel has better distillation properties than the 1st generation RME biodiesel. The biofuels containing the 2nd generation biocomponent generally also had a better fractional composition than the fuels containing the 1st generation RME biocomponent. The 1st and 2nd generation biodiesels were produced using a GW-200 self-made reactor (by Grzegorz Wcisło).
