Designing Microbiologically Stable Biofuel

Аннотация

The biostability of biofuel has been studied. It has been found that pure biodiesel is fully affected by microorganisms already by the second day. It has been shown that introducing 1-furyl-2-nitroethene at an optimum concentration of 0.1–0.3% into the biofuel provides its full and long-term protection against microbiological deterioration. It has been found that 1-furyl-2-nitroethene at the optimum concentration has no effect on the main physicochemical properties and performance characteristics of biofuel.
