Abstract

The growing worldwide demand for new renewable energy sources puts the Brazil in a privileged position in the world due to our large experience in the ethanol production from sugar cane and also due to the large portion of farmland in our territory. In this way Brazil is one of the most capable country in the world to development the biorefineries. To realize this favorable situation it is necessary the development of new technologies related to the biocompounds, especially fatty compounds. It is important to study and understand all equilibrium conditions that can be observed during the processing of vegetable oils, since its extraction, processing refine until biodiesel production. The purpose of this research project is to construct solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE) phase diagrams of fatty compounds and investigate the different solid-solid (SSE) and solid-liquid (SLE) equilibrium regions. Besides the phase diagram, the flash point of ethylic and methylic biodiesel is going to be determined. SLE experimental data could be used to improve the separation processes and to propose new separation methods. Flash point data is an important property that must be observed in storage, transportation and production of biodiesel. Furthermore, in the near future, there is an intention of use these data to formulate products that should attend market requirements and physicochemical properties necessary for their distribution and use.
