          Abstract

          A simple green method for the determination of the acid number of biodiesel is described. The sample is dissolved in a 1:1 v/v ethanol:water mixture, avoiding the use of the usual toluene:isopropanol:water mixture (1:0.95:0.5 v/v/v). The titration is performed with a 0.02 mol L-1 NaOH solution in water. The method was compared with that of ABNT NBR 14448, which is similar to ASTM D 664 and to EN 14104. A statistical comparison using the student's t test and the Snedecor F test showed that the proposed method offers equivalent results to ABNT NBR 14448, with better precision.

          Neste trabalho é proposto um método simples e verde para a determinação do índice de acidez do biodiesel. A amostra é dissolvida em solução 1:1 v/v etanol:água, evitando a mistura tolueno:isopropanol:água (1:0,95:0,5 v/v/v) usada nas normas atuais. A titulação é realizada com uma solução aquosa de NaOH 0,02 mol L-1. O método foi comparado com o da ABNT NBR 14448, que é similar ao do ASTM D 664 e do EN 14104. A comparação estatística utilizando o teste pareado t de student e o teste F de Snedecor mostrou que o método proposto oferece resultados equivalentes ao método da norma ABNT NBR 14448, apresentando maior precisão.
