Abstract Diesel properties determined by ASTM reference methods as cetane index, density, viscosity, distillation temperatures at 50% (T50) and 85% (T85) recovery, and the total sulfur content (%, w/w) were modeled by FTIR-ATR, FTNIR, and FT-Raman spectroscopy using partial last square regression (PLS) and artificial neural network (ANN) spectral analysis. In the PLS models, 45 diesel samples were used in the training group and the other 45 samples were used in the validation. In the ANN analysis a modular feedforward network was used. Sixty diesel samples were used in the neural network training and other 30 samples were used in the validation. Two different ATR configurations were compared in the FTIR, a conventional (ATR1) and an immersion (ATR2) cell. The ATR1 cell presented the best results, with smaller prediction errors (root mean square error of prediction, RMSEP). The comparison of the three PLS models (FTIR-ATR1, FTNIR, and FT-Raman) shows that reasonable values of R2 and RMSEP were obtained by the FTIR-ATR1 and FTNIR models in the evaluation of density, viscosity, and T50. The PLS/FT-Raman models presented reasonable results only for the T50 property. None of the techniques was able to generate suitable PLS calibration models for the determination of sulfur content. The ANN/FT-Raman models presented the best performances, with all models presenting R2 -values above 85% some of them with RMSEP

    1.0 IntroductionBiodiesel is defined as mono-alky esters of long -chain fatty acid. It is a fuel that derived from the vegetable oils, animal fats, which is similar to the diesel fuel except that it is made from the crops. It is produced from domestically grown, renewable sources, such as crop oils or animal fats which are then chemically converted into biodiesel (Habmigren, 2003). Unlike diesel, biodiesel contains no petroleum products and free of sulfur compounds and aromatics (Habmigren, 2003). Until today, it is still the only alternative fuel for motor vehicle. The biodiesel blends have ranged from 2/98% (B2), 20/80% (B20), to 100% (B100) (Hafman, 2003). The reasons biodiesel is a viable alternative to diesel from fossil fuels for trucks and buses are it can reduce the pollution, it can enhance the country's economy, and it is renewable sources and can produce almost same energy as diesel fuels.…

    UV/VIS spectroscopy was used to analyze the absorption spectra of the many solutions in this experiment. It was chosen for its ability to collect absorption data quickly and efficiently. A Target Factor Analysis program was used to treat the UV/VIS data collected. Target Factor Analysis was used as the calculation method instead of CLSR due to it taking into account the interference2.…

    The objective of pre-feasibility study of the biodiesel production from waste cooking oil using solid catalyst (CaO/SrO/ZnO) is to study and design biodiesel process because the advantages of heterogeneous catalyst are reuseable and less amount of wastewater from washing process. In this project , starting with study and collect data from lab-scale experiment and study about Aspen Plus, program to design and simulate biodiesel processes with complicate calculation, and use Aspen Plus to find mass balance and energy balance and scales up to commercial-scale process. After simulation with capacity of biodiesel is 50,516 litres per day (44,454 kilogrames per day) by used Waste cooking oil 45,000 kilogrames per day , methanol is used in esterification process 24,165 kilogrames per day , methanol is used transesterification process 18,302 kilogrames per day , get glycerol (by-product) 3,898 kilogrames per day and used total enegy 48,755,151 kilojoules per day. Then, we use Aspen Process Economic Analyzer program to do plant cost estimation and pre-feasibility study. We found that (Net Present Value , NPV) = 51,506,864 which is more than zero , (Internal Rate of Return , IRR) = 16.66% which is more than desired rate of return (15%) and (Payback Period) = 14.22 years so this project should be invested. Moreover, we do sensitivity analysis for study about factors that can effected pre-feasibility study and found that the price of biodiesel is factor that most effected Internal Rate of Return , IRR…

    Principle: Raman spectroscopy is based on the use of a laser light to induce oscillation and rotation in human fluids containing glucose. Because the emission of scattered light is influenced by molecular vibration, it is possible to estimate glucose concentration in human fluids [24]. This effect depends on the concentration of the glucose molecules. This technique can measure very weak signals, even in human fluids. The wavelength range of Raman spectrum is considered to be 200 cm−1 to 2,000 cm−1.35 Raman spectrum of glucose can be differentiated from those of other compounds in this band.…

    Raman spectroscopy is a micro-analytical method that showed many advantages in analysis of cultural heritage materials. It is a form of vibrational spectroscopy that allows the identification of particles in homogeneous materials in the micron order. The identification is employed on the basis of the molecular vibrational spectra of samples, obtained by excitation with visible laser light. In micro-Raman spectroscopy, the laser beam is focused by means of a microscope objective employing a backscattering configuration (Perardi, Zoppi and Castellucci 2000).…
