Bruno et al. Stabilization of Biodiesel Fuel at Elevated Temperature with Hydrogen Donors: Evaluation with the Advanced Distillation Curve Method. Energy & Fuels , 2009; 0 (0): 090102100824047 DOI ...

For all its utility, there are serious problems with the common method for measuring a distillation curve in industry, based on an old ASTM standard called D-86.

NIST’s “advanced distillation curve” method could accelerate and simplify testing of biodiesels, according to lead author Tom Bruno.

For decades, distillation curves have been one of the most widely accepted ways of characterizing a fuel. The curve charts the percentage of the total mixture that has evaporated as the ...

Better distillation curve apparatus built WASHINGTON, May 25 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say they have developed an improved method of measuring basic properties of such mixtures as gasoline and jet ...

Further advantages are very small sample volume of only 10 ml and fast results within 10 minutes. The micro distillation process is true physical distillation, which means it is much better correlated ...

Kaes has proposed the use of distillation probability paper to obtain the full distillation curve (from 0.1 to 99.9% evaporate). 9 Riazi has proposed a continuous model for C 7 + fraction ...
