Abstract

ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D6751-10 suggests analytical methods as well as specifications for biodiesel quality. However, it is expensive and time-consuming to follow the ASTM testing methods to analyze biodiesel and various impurities. This paper develops a quantitative analysis system for biodiesel and impurities based on Infrared spectroscopy and a multivariate statistical method, PLS (partial least squares). In addition, four different pre-processing techniques were compared for spectrum correction and noise reduction. Savitzky-Golay pre-processing showed the best performance.
