  abstract     = {{Due to the fact that modern diesel engines require very well-defined fuel properties to ensure high efficiency, low emissions and a long durability, the fuel properties and their determination methods have to be standardized. Most diesel fuel standards allow a certain volume fraction of biodiesel that can be blended to fossil diesel fuel. Biodiesel consists of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) which are more susceptible to oxidation compared to fossil diesel fuel. Oxidation products formed by autoxidative processes can lead to higher emissions, a higher corrosiveness, fuel filter blocking, clogging of fuel injectors, the formation of deposits in the entire fuel system and a decreasing lubricity [1]. Therefore, oxidation needs to be prevented by the addition of oxidation inhibitors. These antioxidants are consumed during storage, resulting in partial loss of their efficiency against oxidative stress. After this induction period all antioxidants have been consumed and harmful oxidation products can be formed. For the determination of the long-term storage stability of diesel fuels rapid oxidation stability test methods were developed and defined by standards. In Europe, the most important determination methods are the Rancimat method and the rapid small scale oxidation test (RSSOT). Both methods differ in the construction of the measurement device and various parameters. However, it is not clear whether the results of both methods can be correlated in general. Due to the importance of the oxidation stability, we here describe the results of a literature research that was carried out using 17 literature sources. Possible correlation factors between the Rancimat and the RSSOT method were analyzed, showing that a universal correlation cannot be found. In contrast, a comparison of individual series of measurement, e.g. with the same antioxidant at various concentrations, can show a good correlation between the methods.}},

  abstract     = {{The need for new bio based drop-in components for combustion engine fuels and the availability of sustainable glycerol from biodiesel production has focused attention on isopropylidene glycerol (solketal). The present study investigates the physical and chemical behavior of solketal in ternary blends with diesel fuel/biodiesel. Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) was used as renewable non-polar aliphatic diesel fuel substitute in biodiesel/ solketal blends. HVO can be considered a prototype for other non-polar fuel components such as paraffinic fuel streams from Fischer-Tropsch or BtL processes. Surface tension, permittivity and aging behavior were analyzed. Furthermore, the cetane number (CN) and the viscosity was determined. Permittivity reflects the polarity of blends and their components with its change being an indicator of loss of physical and chemical stability. The antioxidant triphenyl phosphorothioate (TPPT) was also tested in some blends. The biodiesel blends B20, B30 and B40 enables single phased diesel fuel or HVO with varied solketal content (2 and 10%) at a constant biodiesel amount. No effect of solketal on fuel aging was observed. However, HVO-containing blends tend to lower the thermo-chemical stability relative to diesel fuel.}},
