Previous issue date: 2007-11-19 / The biodiesel is defined as the mono-alkyl ester derived from long-chain fatty acids, from renewable sources such as vegetable oils or animal fat, whose use is associated with the replacement of fossil fuels in diesel engine cycle. The
biodiesel is susceptible to oxidation when exposed to air and this process of oxidation affects the quality of fuel, mainly due to long periods of storage. Because of this, the oxidation stability has been the focus of numerous researches since it
directly affects the producers, distributors and users of fuel. One of the possibilities to increase the resistance of biodiesel is the autoxidation treatment with inhibitors of oxidation. The antioxidants can be used as potential inhibitors of the effects of oxidation on the kinematic viscosity and the index of acidity of biodiesel, thereby increasing oxidative stability. This work aims to examine the efficiency of antioxidants, α-tocopherol and butylated hydroxy-toluene (BHT), added the
biodiesel content of remembrance through Pressurized-Differential Scanning Calorimetry (P-DSC), Thermogravimetry (TG) and Petrology. The results showed that the use of antioxidant BHT, at the concentration of 2000ppm, increased
resistance to oxidation of the biodiesel and oxidative induction time (OIT), which is a better result as antioxidant than the α-tocopherol. With the thermogravimetric analysis, it was observed that the biodiesel presented an initial decomposition
temperature of lower tendency than that of oil, demonstrating to be more volatile, bearing great similarity to the diesel and being characterized as an alternative fuel. The rheological analysis indicated that each sample of biodiesel behaved as a
Newtonian fluid / O biodiesel ? definido como o derivado mono-alquil ?ster de ?cidos graxos de cadeia longa, proveniente de fontes renov?veis como ?leos vegetais ou gordura animal, cuja utiliza??o est? associada ? substitui??o de combust?veis f?sseis em motores ciclo diesel. O biodiesel ? suscept?vel ? oxida??o quando exposto ao ar e este processo de oxida??o afeta a qualidade do combust?vel, principalmente em
decorr?ncia de longos per?odos de armazenamento. Em fun??o disso, a estabilidade ? oxida??o tem sido foco de in?meras pesquisas, pois afeta diretamente os produtores de combust?veis, distribuidores e usu?rios. Um das possibilidades de aumentar a resist?ncia do biodiesel ? autoxida??o ? o tratamento com inibidores de oxida??o. Os antioxidantes podem ser utilizados como poss?veis inibidores dos
efeitos da oxida??o sobre a viscosidade cinem?tica e o ?ndice de acidez do biodiesel, aumentando assim estabilidade oxidativa. Este trabalho teve objetivo de examinar a efici?ncia dos antioxidantes, α-tocoferol e o hidr?xi-tolueno butilado
(BHT), adicionado no biodiesel met?lico de mamona, atrav?s da Calorimetria Explorat?ria Diferencial sob Press?o (P-DSC), Termogravimetria (TG) e PetroOXY. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o uso do antioxidante BHT, na concentra??o
de 2000ppm, aumentou a resist?ncia ? oxida??o do biodiesel e tempo de indu??o oxidativa (OIT), revelando-se um melhor resultado como antioxidante do que o α-tocoferol. Na analise termogravim?trica, observou-se que o biodiesel apresentou
uma temperatura de decomposi??o inicial menor que a do ?leo, demonstrando ser mais vol?til, aproximando-se do diesel e se caracterizando com combust?vel alternativo. As an?lises reol?gicas indicaram que cada amostra do biodiesel comportou-se como fluido newtoniano
