Optimization Effect of Water Content and Bio-Surfactant Concentration on Water-In-Biodiesel Emulsion Stability using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract

The incredibly long-lasting qualities and cost-effectiveness of biodiesel revolutionized their production in the nineteenth century. However, a recent study shows the drawbacks of biodiesel which is faces challenges related to stability. The study posits a strategic inquiry into water-in-biodiesel emulsions as a potential avenue to enhance the stability and performance of biodiesel formulations.  This study utilized water content and bio-surfactant concentrations on the stability of water in oil emulsions.
