Abstract

Recently, the potentiality of fluorescence spectroscopy to be used in the quantification of biodiesel content in diesel/biodiesel blends (DBB) was demonstrated. However, the source of the fluorescence dependence of the DBB with biodiesel concentration remains unanswered. In the present paper, a close analysis of the optical properties of the DBB was performed over a wide composition range. The findings suggest that the alterations in the fluorescence intensity can be accounted for only after taking into account changes in viscosity as well as absorbance, in a model where the fluorophores were considered as molecular rotors.
