Abstract:

Consumption, reduction and improvement on the quality of diesel oil have recently been of great interest to the scientific community. This study was conducted to determine the purity of biodiesel from different raw materials. Eight different samples of oil, fat, and biodiesel were analyzed and statistically compared for sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and sulfur content. Preliminary results indicated no source-based biodiesel metal concentration. Further analysis is in progress.
