Abstract
Unfortunately, the original article contains error in Sect.�3.3. Fuel Composition. The correct data have been provided below in this correction article. The fatty acid composition of the produced biodiesel through the optimisation process is shown in Table 8. From the table, it can be seen that Australian canola oil is mostly composed of methyl oleate, with 42.47 wt% included in the composition. This is followed by 27.85 wt% and 16.65 wt% methyl linoleate and methyl linoleate, respectively. A similar FAC was�observed by�Issariyakul and Dalai (2010)�with slight difference in methyl oleate�and methyl linolenate percentages. The main component of their canola oil biodiesel is methyl oleate which contains 60.92 wt% of this component. Based on the composition, canola biodiesel contains a total of 12.89 wt% saturated FAME component, 42.61 wt% monounsaturated FAME and 44.5 wt% polyunsaturated FAME. Table 9 compares the properties of produced canola biodiesel and diesel. According to the table, canola oil biodiesel has a 21.5% higher cetane number but a 6% lower LHV than diesel fuel.
