The temperature influence on the oxidation stability of biodiesel from ternary mixture of vegetable oil and animal fat (50% of soybean oil, 20% of beef tallow, and 30% of poultry fat) was evaluated at temperatures ranging from 110 to 130 掳C applying the Arrhenius and Eyring equations. The kinetics and thermodynamics parameters determined, considering first-order reaction rate kinetics, were rate constant (k), varying from 0.5479 to 1.7110 h鈥?, activation energy (Ea) of 72.01 kJ mol鈥?, pre-exponential factor (A) of 3.84 脳 109 h鈥?, enthalpy of activation (螖H鈥?/sup>) of 68.75 kJ mol鈥?, entropy of activation (螖S鈥?/sup>) of 鈭?2.05 J K鈥? mol鈥?, and Gibb鈥檚 free energy of activation (螖G鈥?/sup>) average of 97.08 kJ mol鈥?. Based on the activation complex theory (ACT), the thermodynamic activation parameters indicated a nonspontaneous, endergonic, and endothermic process: 螖G鈥?/sup> > 0, 螖H鈥?/sup> > 0, and 螖S鈥?/sup> < 0, with estimated storage time of 149.82 d at 25 掳C.
