Relative Toxicity of Exhaust Particulate After Accelerated Thermal Oxidation of Recycled Vegetable Oil Biodiesel Fuel

Research Product Type
Research Report
Given that today’s real-world diesel fuel supply is comprised of biodiesel as a blendstock with petrodiesel, understanding how addition of biodiesel affects exhaust particle properties and their subsequent effect on human health is critically important. Here, samples of a commercial waste vegetable oil biodiesel B100 fuel were subject to thermal oxidation at 110°C for 5, 10 or 20 hr before diesel engine dynamometer emissions testing as the neat fuel (B100) and as a 20% v/v biodiesel blend (B20) with petrodiesel.

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Technology Demonstration Phase 2

  • Principal Investigator Arun Raju, Ph.D.
  • University of California, Riverside
The project will develop an ‘Organic Resource Locator’ for the Southern California region with particular emphasis on the territory served by the Southern California Gas Company. This will be a map of technically recoverable organic resources available for energy conversion, and the potential end users.
