【 摘 要 】

This paper presents methodologies for monitoring the quality of methyl cotton biodiesel in biodiesel/diesel blends using mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR) and chemometrics tools. The first method relates to the construction of multivariate control charts with the aim of qualitatively monitoring the samples according to the Brazilian specification for biodiesel in the biodiesel/diesel blends (7.00 ± 0.5% v/v of biodiesel). The second concerns the construction of partial least squares (PLS) to determine the content of the biodiesel in the biodiesel/diesel blend. The PLS model was validated from multivariate figures of merit according to the guidelines of ASTM E1655-05 and IUPAC. The results from both methods were satisfactory for both qualitative and quantitative monitoring. Therefore, the proposed methodologies for monitoring the quality of biodiesel in biodiesel/diesel blends are fast, practical, economical and efficient and can be used by industries and service stations.
