    Biodiesel has gained worldwide attention due to its renewable aspects. However, it needs more quality improvement. Recently, butanol has been considered as a favorable alternative fuel or additive over methanol and ethanol in compression ignition (CI) engines. In this regard, the present work deals with the evaluation of butanol-diesel-biodiesel blends as potential alternative fuels. In this work, biodiesel has been produced fromAleurites moluccanusoil followed by blending with Euro-diesel and butanol. Important characteristics such as kinematic viscosity, density and cloud point besides FT-IR, UV-vis spectra, TGA, DSC and NMR (C-13 and(1)H) were analyzed. Some important engine and emission performance parameters, such as BP, BSFC, CO, HC, NO(x)and EGT were also studied in this work. Results revealed that blending butanol and Euro-diesel with biodiesel improves the properties of pure biodiesel such as kinematic viscosity (2.41-3.55 mm(2)/s) and density (841.8-884.6 kg/m(3)), while maintaining an acceptable range for cold flow properties that are analogous to Euro-diesel. In addition, reduction in BP (24.65-26.35%), HC (52.57-38.71%), and CO (39.18-30.4%) was observed for all the blends at full load compared to Euro-diesel. However, increases in both BSFC (38.17-41.14%) and NOx(24.18-8.35%) were observed. Overall, the blends appear to be good alternatives to biodiesel-diesel blends. Thus, butanol-biodiesel-diesel blends can be considered as potential sustainable fuels for fossil diesel.

    Perspective of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) as a potential biodiesel feedstock in Turkey: characterization, engine performance and emissions analyses of butanol-biodiesel-diesel blends
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Al-Samaraae, R. R.; Atabani, A. E.; Uguz, Gediz; Kumar, Gopalakrishnan; Arpa, Orhan; Ayanoglu, Abdulkadir; Mohammed, M. N.
    Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) is widely farmed in Turkey. This study investigates the physicochemical properties of safflower biodiesel and its blends with Euro diesel and butanol. A polynomial curve-fitting method was used to predict kinematic viscosity and density of the ternary blends. Furthermore, characteristics such as DSC, FT-IR, UV-Vis and TGA were adopted to evaluate the influence of butanol addition on biodiesel-diesel blends. Engine performance parameters such as BP, torque and BSFC and emissions such as CO, HC, NO(x)and EGT were studied. Safflower methyl ester satisfied both EN 14214 and ASTM D 6751 standards regarding viscosity, flash point and density. However, iodine value was quite high. Oxidation stability fails to satisfy either standard. This is due to the high level of unsaturated fatty acids (91.05%). A reduction in BP, torque, HC and CO coupled with an increase in BSFC, NO(x)emissions and EGT was observed for all blends compared to Euro diesel. Overall, all blends appear to be good alternatives to biodiesel-diesel blends. This work supports that biodiesel can be blended with diesel and butanol as ternary blends (up to 20%) for use as a fuel in compression ignition (CI) engines. Therefore, combustion characteristics of blends shall be further investigated.
