Abstract
Scientists have well understood that over the last few decades, humans have utilized natural resources inefficiently and in haphazard manner. This has resulted in devastating effects on Nature, especially climate change. Hence, there is an urgent need to protect nature from further damages. To mitigate the effects of rapid usage of fossil fuels, eco-friendly alternative carbon neutral drop in fuels are been encouraged by both governments and regulatory authorities. The transportation sector which constitutes usage of conventional fossil fuels, needs for a major shift from non-renewable to renewable and environment friendly resources. These resources include use of bio-diesel and ethanol blends which are produced from natural resources as fuels. As part of this work, we have focused on study of biodiesel, ethanol and diesel fuel blends on the basis of oxidation effects alongwith effects of natural and synthetic antioxidants using RSSOT analyser.Antioxidants are substances present at low concentrations in fuel and lubricants, which markedly delay or inhibit or control the oxidation of oxidizable substrate. Addition of antioxidants has been found to be most effective in controlling oxidation due to their unique properties arising from a wide range of chemical structures that extend the shelflife of petroleum products without any adverse effect on their other qualities. Key Word: Biodiesel, antioxidant additive, renewable, synthetic, olefinic.
