New Class of Acetal Derived from Glycerin as a Biodiesel Fuel Component
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the study of a new oxygenate synthesized from crude glycerin as a biodiesel additive were presented. And the results reveal that new acetal (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl acetate not only improves biodiesel viscosity but also meets the requirements established by diesel and biodiesel fuels by the European and American Standards (EN 14214 and ASTM D6751, respectively) for other important parameters, such as flash point and oxidation stability, that have not
