Effect of antioxidants on the stability and corrosiveness of palm biodiesel upon exposure of different metals

The properties of biodiesel get aggravated when metals are exposed into it. The present study aims to investigate the effect of antioxidants on the fuel properties of palm biodiesel upon exposure to copper and mild steel. The used antioxidants include pyrogallol (PY) and butylated hydro-oxy toluene...
