Abstract

This work reports the use of mid- and near-infrared spectroscopy (MIR and NIR) to predict the kinematic and dynamic viscosities of biodiesel–diesel blends. A partial least square regression (PLSR) modeling method was employed to develop the calibration models based on information from four commonly used biodiesel and three different commercial diesel fuels. For MIR spectroscopy, wavelengths in the fingerprint region of 550–1500cm−1 were chosen for developing the model. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) for kinematic viscosity and dynamic viscosity were 0.114 and 0.119mm2/s, respectively, based on the validation set that consisted of 26 biodiesel–diesel blend samples made of six different biodiesel and three different diesel fuels. For the NIR spectroscopy, the PLSR model established using the spectral regions of 1100–1500nm, 1600–1700nm, and 1800–2200nm obtained better results. The RMSEP were 0.070mm2/s for kinematic viscosity and 0.062mm2/s for dynamic viscosity prediction. The results indicated that both MIR and NIR can be used to accurately predict the viscosities of biodiesel–diesel blends, but better results can be obtained using NIR spectroscopy.
