Abstract
Esterification of Turkish sulphur olive oil with different types of straight- and branched-chain monohydric alcohols has been investigated. Reaction conditions such as temperature and time have been evaluated, and monoester yield has been determined. As the alcohol component, direct application of an industrial byproduct such as crude fuel oil has been investigated. Finally some preliminary laboratory tests concerning the suitability of the fuel oil monoester as a diesel fuel substitute have been performed.
