Crystal structure, phase behaviour and kinetics associated with the crystallisation of octadecane, hexadecane, and mixtures thereof

There is an ever-increasing use of sustainable, bio-derived feedstocks in fuel oils including hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) from agricultural or recycled sources. HVO fuels consist of a narrow alkane distribution mainly octadecane (C18) and hexadecane (C16). Such fuels crystallise easily, which c...
