TY - JOUR AB - For the first time, Firmiana platanifolia L.f. was investigated as a promising don-food oil component of biodiesel production. F. platanifolia L.f. was obtained from resources available in China with a high oil content (36.47%). The low acid value of F. platanifolia L.f. (1.19 mg KOH g(-1)) indicated that the raw oil required no acid pretreatment. Additionally, properties of a biodiesel product derived from this plant were evaluated, which were found to fulfill ASTM 06751 and EN 14214 biodiesel specifications, possessing a good cetane number (58.2) and excellent oxidation stability (13.3 h). The results indicate that F. platanifolia L.f. is a potential species to be used as a biodiesel feedstock in China. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
