 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 18 Prediction of near infrared spectroscopy the main component of biodiesel Of: Science Lu Wanzhen Kongcui Ping Xiao-Li Chu D’Souza [Abstract] Near infrared spectroscopy determination of the composition of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters, monoglycerides, the second glyceride, Triglyceride esters and glycerol were studied. By gas chromatography to obtain the basic data of its components, through the partial least square method and near infrared spectral data regression calculations were established to sorbifolia oil biodiesel as an example of a single calibration model and a variety of feedstock for biodiesel feedstock mix correction model, and pepper oil biodiesel as an example investigated the applicability of calibration model. The results show that: partial least squares method can be established through a variety of feedstock for bio-diesel general correction model. For the new bio-diesel, to focus on adding more than 10 calibration samples, the expansion of calibration model, these can be more accurate determination of the composition of the new content in biodiesel samples. The method of fast, low cost, convenient, reproducible, suitable for biodiesel production in the middle of the process control analysis. [Keywords:] Near infrared spectroscopy; bio-diesel; chemometrics; methyl Abstract A rapid method was established for the determination of the main chemical compositions in biodiesel (including fatty acid methyl esters, monoglycerides, diglyceride, triglyceride and glycerol) by the combination of near infrared spectra (NIR) and chemometrics. The reference values #8203;#8203;were obtained by the gas chromatographic method, which was correlated with the NIR spectra data by partial least squares regression method. The calibration models for multi feedstock biodiesel and a single feedstock biodiesel were established respectively. The applicability of the calibration models was examined with the zanthoxylum oil biodiesel
