Popis: In the last years, researchers, governments, and industries spent significant resources towards biofuels production. Biodiesel has attracted attention as a renewable, non-toxic, and biodegradable fuel. In this work, biodiesel production using waste oil from the margarine industry is described. Another objective of this paper is additivation of biodiesel with glycerol ketals in order to improve the physicochemical properties. Biodiesel blends with additives were further analyzed and compared with the EN biodiesel specifications. The characterization of biodiesel blends revealed the improvement of their density, viscosity, cold filter plugging point, flash point, and iodine index.
