Currently, 7% of biodiesel are added to diesel (B7) sold throughout Brazil. The soybean oil and beef tallow are the most used, with a share of 95.6% in production. In this context, this paper presents an analytical methodology based on multivariate control charts associated with the Fourier transform infrared by attenuated total reflectance (ATR-FTIR), for the control and quality assurance of the mixtures of tallow biodiesel with soybean biodiesel. The charts have been built using Net Analyte Signal (NAS) generating three control charts: the NAS chart that corresponds to the analyte in the sample (in this case biodiesel tallow), the interference chart corresponds to the other constituent in the sample (in this case only soybean biodiesel) and the chart residues corresponds to nonsystematic variation. Thus, it was possible to identify tallow biodiesel content in the blend, by chart NAS, and remaining problems in the production process as the low degree of conversion of the methyl esters. Based on the results achieved this analytical methodology is promising, because in a single analysis it is possible check the quality of soybean biodiesel and its blends with biodiesel from tallow.
Atualmente são adicionados 7% de biodiesel ao diesel (B7) comercializado em todo o território brasileiro, sendo o óleo de soja e o sebo bovino os mais empregados, com uma participação de 95,6% na produção do biodiesel. Neste contexto o presente trabalho apresenta uma metodologia analítica baseada em cartas de controle multivariada associadas ao infravermelho (ATR-FTIR), para o controle e garantia da qualidade de blendas de biodiesel de sebo com biodiesel de soja. Foram construídas cartas de controle utilizando o Sinal Analítico Líquido (NAS), uma correspondente ao analito (NAS) na amostra (neste caso o biodiesel de sebo), uma dos interferentes que corresponde ao outro constituinte na amostra (neste caso o biodiesel de soja) e uma dos resíduos que corresponde às variações não sistemáticas. Assim, foi possível identificar a presença, bem como os adequados teores de biodiesel de sebo na blenda, através da carta NAS, e problemas remanescentes do processo de produção, como o baixo grau de conversão dos ésteres metílicos. A metodologia analítica descrita neste estudo se revela promissora com base nos resultados obtidos.
