Title: Study on the Low-Temperature Fluidity and the Progress of Pour Point Depressant of Bio-Diesel
Abstract: Bio-diesel is an alternative biodegradable diesel fuel. However, the pour point of the bio-diesel is about 0℃ , as a result that the freezing and gelling of many bio-diesel formulations are limiting their applications. The low-temperature fluidity of the bio-diesel fuel depended on the content and distribution of the saturated fatty acid methyl esters in the fuel. It also depends on the degree of the branched-chain esters. In this paper, the methods to improve the low-temperature fluidity, the mechanisms of the pour point depressant and the research, application, development of pour point depressant were reviewed.
