The main use of vegetal oils, now and in the future will be as biodiesel, that it is an alternative to diesel derived from
the Oil.What it is biodiesel (esters mono alquila): is a fuel diesel of clean burning derivative of natural sources and you renewed as vegetables.Such which diesel derived from the Oil, biodiesel operates in ignition-combustion engines.Essentially
modifications in the engines are not required, and biodiesel keeps the capacities of diesel.The use of biodiesel in
conventional engines diesel results in the substantial reduction of hydro-carbons, carbon monoxide and particulada substance. Quimicas properties: Biodiesel has very similar physical properties to diesel. The emissions however are lesser. As the Biodesel is made: The Biodesel can be made of vegetables or animal fat. It is made of resources you renewed. It is biodegradável, requires minims modifications of engines, also being able to be mixed to other fuels.The vegatais oils can react quimicamente with one alcool, to produce esters.These used esters when as combustible take the name of Biodiesel. Currently, biodiesel is produced by a called process transesterificação. The vegetal oil is filtered, and then processed with alkaline materials to remove fats acid.Then a catalyst is mixed alcohol and the reactions form then ésters and glicerol, that he is separate. Peanut, seeds of cotton, seeds of sunflower, dendê, mamona and soy they are great oil sources. Done esters of any of these sources can be used in engines, even so have variations in its physical properties. The market of biodiesel: The Biodiesel still esbarra in some obstacles, as the current lack of regulation and prices of diesel derived from the Oil. They is esteem that in the start of the next century, we will have conditions to generate biodiesel all corresponding 8% of biodiesel consumed. Probably it will be used in a mixture with diesel conventional until the research to obtain more efficient vegetables in the oil production and the measure that the price of diesel will be going up, that it is the waited one. Advantages of biodiesel: The Biodiesel is safe from what diesel of the Oil. The point of combustion of biodiesel in its pure form is of more than 300 F against 125 F of diesel common. Equipment the Biodiesel is therefore, safer. The exhaustion of biodiesel is less offensive. The use of biodiesel results in a notable reduction of odors, what it is a real benefit in confined spaces. In fact a little is resembled with smells it of potatoes fries. Cases of irritation in the eyes had not been notified. As biodiesel is oxigenado, it it presents a more complete combustion. Biodiesel does not require special storage. biodiesel in its natural form can be stored in any place where the oil is stored, and for the fact to have greater Point of fusing the transport of this is still more safe. Biodiesel functions in conventional engines. As already it was said, biodiesel requires minims modifications to operate in existing engines already. Renewable, as already biodiesel was said is renewable, contributing for the reduction of the dioxido one of carbon. Biodiesel can used alone or be mixed in any amount with diesel of Oil. The Biodiesel increases the useful life of the engines for being more lubricative. Biodiesel is biodegradável and not toxic.
