The Biodiesel was obtained through the methylical and ethylical routes. The main physical and chemical properties of cotton seed oil and the B100 were determined and characterized by FTIR and GC. The study of the efficiency of antioxidants, mentioned above, in concentrations of 200, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000ppm, to thermal and oxidative stability, was achieved by Thermogravimetry (TG), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Differential Scanning Calorimetry - Hi-Pressure (P-DSC) and Rancimat. The Biodiesel obtained are within the specifications laid down by Resolution of ANP No7/2008. The results of TG curves show that the addition of both antioxidants, even in the lowest concentration, increases the thermal stability of Biodieseis. Through the DTA and DSC it was possible to study the physical and chemical transitions occurred in the process of volatilization and decomposition of the material under study. The initial time (OT) and temperature (Tp) of oxidation were determined through the P-DSC curve and they showed that the α-tocopherol has a pro-oxidant behavior for some high concentrations. The BHT showed better results than the α-tocopherol, with regard to the resistance to oxidation === Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar o efeito da adi??o de agentes antioxidantes, tais como o α-tocoferol e BHT sobre a estabilidade t?rmica e oxidativa do biodiesel de algod?o (B100), obtido pelas rotas met?licas e et?licas. Foram determinadas as principais propriedades f?sico-qu?micas do ?leo de algod?o e do B100, al?m das caracteriza??es atrav?s de Espectroscopia de Absor??o na Regi?o de Infravermelho (FTIR) e Cromatografia Gasosa (CG). O estudo da efici?ncia dos antioxidantes adicionados, nas concentra??es de 200, 500, 1000, 1500 e 2000 ppm, para as estabilidades t?rmicas e oxidativa, foi realizado atrav?s da Termogravimetria (TG), An?lise T?rmica Diferencial (DTA), Calorimetria Explorat?ria Diferencial (DSC), Calorimetria Explorat?ria Diferencial sob Press?o (P-DSC) e Rancimat. As amostras de biodiesel apresentaram-se dentro das especifica??es estabelecidas pela Resolu??o da ANP No 7/2008. A adi??o de ambos os antioxidantes, mesmo em baixa concentra??o (200 ppm), aumentou a estabilidade t?rmica dos B100. Atrav?s das curvas DTA e DSC, foram estudadas as transi??es f?sico-qu?micas ocorridas no biodiesel. O tempo inicial (OIT) e temperatura (Tp) de oxida??o, determinados atrav?s das curvas P-DSC, mostraram que o α-tocoferol tem comportamento pr?-oxidante para algumas concentra??es elevadas. O BHT apresentou melhor resultado do que o α-tocoferol, com rela??o ? resist?ncia ? oxida??o
