nitro fuel additives

I'm working on converting used vegetable oil to better and/or cheaper biodiesel ... I'm thinking of getting some nitro into the process through CN. The CN will auto-oxidize to nitro but where does the CN come from? Seems like there should be a waste stream with something or a convertible somethings.. I'm looking through as many old industrial references as I can find. To better understand CN sources.

(The CN will "auto-oxidize" if set up according to my process)

I'm looking forward to reading about your project.

What does the "CN" acronym stand for? What is the process? What nitro compounds do you get? What…

CN => nitrile; process(es) to be determined; nitro compounds .. I guess with all that glycerol we need to be careful about that
