Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the main issues concerned with the oxidative and storage stabilities of biodiesel and how they affect different metallic and polymeric materials present in automotive parts and in biodiesel storage structures. In addition, this work presents a review of the techniques used for measuring the oxidative stability and for evaluating the degradation of metallic and polymeric materials. When biodiesel is oxidized, a series of changes in its properties occurs. These changes not only affect biodiesel quality, but also the properties of the materials that are in contact with it. Upon oxidation, biodiesel properties like the acid value, peroxide value and viscosity increase, while the iodine value and the content of methyl esters decrease. The changes in the chemical and physical properties of biodiesel can affect the integrity and stability of the material. The situation reviewed in this paper, which talks about the stability of materials, could limit the extensive use of biodiesel. Such measures have been proposed in several countries, and it is a topic of great importance for biodiesel technology.

Inspired by Stenocara Beetles: From Water Collection to High-Efficiency Water-in-Oil Emulsion Separation

TL;DR: An oil recovery purity up to 99.95 wt % is demonstrated for surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions on the biomimetic SBS- SSM filter, which is superior to that of the traditional superhydrophobic/superoleophilic stainless steel mesh (S-SSM) filter lacking the superHydrophilic bump structure.

A review of the effect of the composition of biodiesel on NOx emission, oxidative stability and cold flow properties

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed and attempted to discover the ideal fatty acid composition of biodiesel which exhibits lower NO x emissions, better oxidative stability and cold flow properties, while the presence of saturated fatty acids (SFA) in particular the long chain type, exhibits good oxidative stability.

Green biodiesel production from waste cooking oil using an environmentally benign acid catalyst.

TL;DR: The reusability of the catalyst was investigated and showed that the biodiesel yield decreased by 9% with each cycle; however, this catalyst is still of interest because it is an example of green chemistry, is nontoxic, and makes use of xylose waste.
