Biodiesel induced corrosion and degradation: Review
Abstract
Rapid
depletion of fossil fuel resources as well as concerns for foreign dependence
in meeting energy needs have led researches for alternative fuels. Biodiesel,
which can be obtained from many renewable resources such as vegetable oil and
animal fat through transesterification, is the most attractive alternative fuel
for cars, especially for being environmentally friendly. However, there are
some cons, too. The presence of water and free fatty acids in the biodiesel
makes it more corrosive than petrol-diesel, and this is an undesired feature.
Corrosion induced by contact with biodiesel both reduces the life of metal
parts and deteriorates the fuel properties, hence adversely affects engine
performance. Therefore, the corrosive characteristics of biodiesel are very
important for long term durability of engine components. In this study, we
tried to investigate the corrosive effects of biodiesel and blends on engine
parts by evaluating and comparing test results from earlier studies for
different periods at different temperatures with different biodiesel fuels.
Remedial measures to inhibit or mitigate corrosive effects of biodiesel by using
additives are also tackled.
