The invention discloses a method for preparing a low temperature 
epoxy fatty acid branched-chain 
alcohol ester improver for 
biodiesel and application thereof. The method comprises the steps of taking natural oil and branched-chain 
alcohol as raw materials to react in the presence of a catalyst, and carrying out distilling, standing and layering on the product to obtain supernatant 
fatty acid branched-chain 
alcohol ester; and then mixing the 
fatty acid branched-chain alcohol ester with 
formic acid, adding an epoxidation catalyst, reacting while dropwise adding 
hydrogen peroxide, and carrying out standing, layering, neutralizing and 
dewatering on the product to obtain 
epoxy fatty acid branched-chain alcohol ester. The invention develops an 
epoxy fatty acid branched-chain alcohol ester improver aiming at the characteristics of 
biodiesel. The method has the following beneficial effects: by branching bonds of 
fatty acid ester and introducing a polar group onto the interior 
double bond structure of the 
fatty acid ester, the improver can be easily mixed with the 
biodiesel to form uniform solution, thus being beneficial to blocking further growth of 
solid crystals; and after different oil-based biodiesels and the improver are mixed, the low temperature fluidity of the biodiesels can be obviously improved, the 
condensation point and cold filter point can be reduced by 5-15 DEG C, the calorific value can be improved, and the 
viscosity can be reduced.
