The miscibilities of ethanol in 19 diesel fuels having a wide variation in compositions were evaluated by testing their phase separation temperatures. The result shows that aromatic contents and intermediate distillate temperatures have a significant impact on miscibility limits. The FCC diesels, which contain up to 50% of aromatics, exhibit different phase behavior trends in comparison with straight-run diesels and other diesel fuels.展开更多

The relationship among the boiling range, cetane number, smoke point, and other properties such as aromatics content, aniline point, and the sulfur and nitrogen content was also studied. The study reveals that when appropriate processes and distillation boiling ranges are selected, oilsands bitumen can produce diesel and jet fuels that meet stringent environmental regulations and future product specifications. New correlations to predict CN and smoke point were developed as a function of density, boiling ranges by simulated distillation, and mono- and total aromatics by supercritical fluid chromatography. The correlations apply to bitumen-derived middle distillates that have a wide range of boiling points.展开更多

The results show that the absorption capacity of an ionic liquid for the S-compounds in diesel fuels relies on its structure and its size. In the case of the two examined diesel fuels, both elongating the cation tail length and increasing the mass ratio of ionic liquid/diesel fuel promote the desulfurization ability of the examined ionic liquids. The results also show that imidazolium-based ionic liquids display higher extraction efficiencies than pyridinium-based ionic liquids, presumably owing to the fact that the rings of the S-compounds are similar to the imidazolium head ring. With the 1 ： 1 mass ratio of ionic liquid/diesel fuel, the rates of the first desulfurization of Dongying and Liaohe diesel fuels using [C8mim][BF4] amount to 29.96% and 39.76%, suggesting that [C8mim][BF4] is a promising extractant for desulfurization of these diesel fuels.展开更多

Thedecrease of zeta-potential of electric double layer on the W/O interface and the reduction of diesel fuelviscosity were responsible for the accelerated separation of naphthenic acids under microwave irradiation.The influences of dosage of alkali compound solvent (Mp/MT), irradiation pressure, irradiation time,irradiation power, the settling time and oil phase-to-solvent phase volume ratio (O/S) had been investigated.The optimum process conditions for the refining process were determined. The removal of naphthenicacids reached 98.4% when the optimum conditions were proposed as follows: Mp/MT=1.5, 0.05MPa, 6 min,375W, 25min and O/S=10, respectively. The diesel recovery could reach 99.3% and the quality of thetreated diesel oil was good enough to meet the specification of GB252-2000.展开更多

The effects of the far-infrared composite materials on the physicochemical properties of diesel fuel were studied. It shows that the composite materials can radiate higher intensity of far infrared; and the surface tension, viscosity and flash point decrease when the diesel fuel is dealt with the composite materials containing rare earth elements; and then the available effect mechanisms of the composite materials on the properties of diesel fuel were investigated by testing the activity changes of arene.展开更多

This paper described the synthesis and evaluation of the performance of dibehenyl fumarate-vinyl acetate （FV） copolymer for improving the cold flow performance of the tested diesel fuels. The carbon distribution in n-alkanes of the tested diesel samples were analyzed by gas phase chromatography. The structure of the copolymer was confirmed by the 1H NMR spectroscopy. The wax crystals morphologies with and without adding the FV additive were investigated by means of polarizing microscope. The test results indicated that the FV additive could depress CFPP of the tested diesel samples by 2℃ and 4℃, respectively, when dosage of the additive was 0.08 m%. The additive can modify the size and shape of the wax crystals and inhibit the formation of larger wax crystal lattices.展开更多

After addition of each demulsifier into the diesel fraction the oil content in caustic residue was apparently decreased, and discharge of waste caustic was reduced, resulting in the elimination of emulsification and a significant increase of economic benefits. When 70 ppm of the HPL-2 demulsifier was added to diesel fraction, the oil content in waste caustic exiting the second-stage caustic wash settling tank was reduced to 2.45% from 7.90 %, whereas this value was reduced to 2.81% from 5.96% with addition of the GX-02 demulsifier.展开更多

The atmosphericsecond side-cut diesel fraction, which was supplied by Liaohe Petrochemical Company, was desulfurized by anoxidation process under microwave irradiation. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), can oxidize the sulfur compounds indiesel fuel selectively and convert them into sulfones. Based on the rule of dissolution by similar substances,these sulfones are removed from diesel fuel because they could be dissolved in solvent phase. So the sulfurcontent of diesel fuel is decreased. The influence of the concentration of oxidizing reagent, solvent phase to oilphase volume ratio (S/O), irradiation pressure, irradiation time, and the irradiation power have been investigated.The optimum conditions for the refining process was determined. The sulfur removal rate was 59.7% under theoptimum conditions of 8%H2O2, S/O=0.25, 0.05MPa, 6 min, and 375W, respectively. When no microwave irradia-tion was applied, the removal rate was 11.5% only.展开更多

However, the measurement of droplet velocities in the dense region of Diesel sprays is very difficult or impossible by means of widely used laser diagnostic techniques, in particular under engine-like high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The limitations of phase Doppler anemometry （PDA） and particle image velocimetry （PIV） prevent the application to the ultra-dense region of the spray. It was demonstrated that these problems can be greatly reduced by the laser flow tagging （LFT） technique. It was also demonstrated recently that LFT measurements can be conducted in clustered Diesel jets with improved spatial resolution and increased number of simultaneous measurements in the near-nozzle region. In the present work, the nozzle design, the temperature and pressure of the ambient air, and the fuel rail pressure are varied, in order to investigate the influence on the near-nozzle jet velocity and the underlying physical mechanisms.展开更多

Diesel is one of the fossil fuels that are highly consumed in daily life. This paper focuses on the behavior of a refined diesel fuel when copper oxide nanoparticles are added. The resulting blend ofnano-diesel has been analyzed using a four-stroke engine under two loads indicating light vehicles and heavy duty vehicles. The nano-diesel was prepared by the aid of an ultrasonicator and a mechanical homogenizer. A base diesel was taken as a reference to distinguish the effect of the nanoparticles additives. Three different samples with different concentrations are utilized in this study. As a result, the fuel consumption, exhaust temperature, brake power, power losses and engine efficiency have been evaluated and compared to the base diesel in order to demonstrate and access the enhanced performance of the nano-fuel blend. The three concentrations conducted were 100 ppm, 200 ppm and 300 ppm of copper oxide nanoparticles. The results represented that the pure refinery diesel has low exhaust temperatures, high brake power and high efficiency as compared to the commercial diesel supplied from a gas station. In addition, 300 ppm copper oxide nano-diesel showed improvement in engine performances as compared to the other concentrations and pure diesel. In this context, lowest fuel consumption for both passenger cars and heavy duty vehicles was achieved, brake power for passenger cars only was improved and input power showed improvement however, exhaust temperature was the highest as for this fuel.展开更多

As biodiesels （fatty acid methyl esters） have many disadvantages, the conversion of vegetable oils to better quality fuels is required. One of the possible solutions is the catalytic hydrogenation of vegetable oils mixed with straight run gas oil. During quality improvement of mixtures of rapeseed oil （0, 5, 8, 12, 50 and 100%） and straight run gas oil （sulphur content： 0.95%） on NiMo, P/A12O3 catalyst at different process parameters, it was found that both the deep sulphur and nitrogen removal of gas oil and oxygen removal reactions of triglycerides （hydrogenation, decaboxylation and decarbonylation ways） and in a moderate degree the hydrogenation of aromatics took place. At favourable process parameters （350-360℃; 60 bar; LHSV： 1.5 h^-1; H2/hydrocarbon ratio： 600 Nm^3/m^3） diesel fuel fractions with sulphur and nitrogen content 〈 10 mg/kg and with significantly higher cetane numbers （〉 60-80） than the requirement of the valid standard （minimum 51; EN 590：2009＋A1：2010） were produced. During its application the concentration of sulphur and nitrogen oxides and the particulate matter is clearly lower in the exhaust gas contributing to lower emission and the conversation of the catalytic activity of the after-treatment systems.展开更多

文摘The ignition tendency of diesel fuels is highly sensitive to ambient conditions and fuel properties.In this study,the ignition characteristics of different diesel surrogate fuels with the same derived cetane numbers(DCN)were measured and compared in varied thermodynamic and oxidizing environments.The combustion pressures,heat release rates,ignition delays,and combustion delays of the test fuels were compared.The experimental results showed that the diesel surrogate fuels with the same DCNs exhibit similar ignition propensity at standard DCN test conditions.Further,for the test conditions of high cetane fuels,high ambient temperatures,and suficient oxygen concentrations,surrogate fuels with the same DCN have similar ignition behaviors,and using the DCN to evaluate fuel ignition tendency is appropriate.However,for the test conditions of low cetane fuels,low ambient temperatures,and reduced oxygen concentrations,different ignition behaviors are observed for the surrogate fuels with the same DCN,so at these conditions using DCN as the evaluation index for fuel ignition tendency may lead to higher uncertainty.
文摘Research, development and use of biofuels have emerged into focus caused by environmental protection reasons. As biodiesels （fatty acid methyl esters） have many disadvantages, the conversion of vegetable oils to better quality fuels is required. One of the possible solutions is the catalytic hydrogenation of vegetable oils mixed with straight run gas oil. During quality improvement of mixtures of rapeseed oil （0, 5, 8, 12, 50 and 100%） and straight run gas oil （sulphur content： 0.95%） on NiMo, P/A12O3 catalyst at different process parameters, it was found that both the deep sulphur and nitrogen removal of gas oil and oxygen removal reactions of triglycerides （hydrogenation, decaboxylation and decarbonylation ways） and in a moderate degree the hydrogenation of aromatics took place. At favourable process parameters （350-360℃; 60 bar; LHSV： 1.5 h^-1; H2/hydrocarbon ratio： 600 Nm^3/m^3） diesel fuel fractions with sulphur and nitrogen content 〈 10 mg/kg and with significantly higher cetane numbers （〉 60-80） than the requirement of the valid standard （minimum 51; EN 590：2009＋A1：2010） were produced. During its application the concentration of sulphur and nitrogen oxides and the particulate matter is clearly lower in the exhaust gas contributing to lower emission and the conversation of the catalytic activity of the after-treatment systems.
文摘The nitrogen oxide(NOx)release of diesel engines can be reduced using water in diesel emulsion fuel without any engine modification.In the present paper,different formulations of water in diesel emulsion fuels were prepared by ultrasonic irradiation.The water droplet size in the emulsion,polydisperisty index,and the stability of prepared fuel was examined,experimentally.Afterwards,the performance characteristics and exhaust emission of a single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine were investigated using different water in diesel emulsion fuels.The effect of water content(in the range of 5%-10% by volume),surfactant content(in the range of 0.5%-2% by volume),and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance(HLB)(in the range of 5-8)was examined using Box-Behnken design(BBD)as a subset of response surface methodology(RSM).Considering multi-objective optimization,the best formulation for the emulsion fuel was found to be 5%water,2% surfactant,and HLB of 6.8.A comparison was made between the best emulsion fuel and the neat diesel fuel for engine performance and emission characteristics.A considerable decrease in the nitrogen oxide emission(-18.24%)was observed for the best emulsion fuel compared to neat diesel fuel.

文摘The promising combustion and emission properties of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers(PODEn)are of significant interest.However,the synthesis of PODEn products with desired chain lengths is still a problem facing synthetic PODEn.Herein,a series of unique IL@SBA16Cx solid catalysts are prepared by encapsulation of ionic liquids(ILs)within the nanocage of SBA16 through a silylation method.The structure of the encapsulated catalyst was characterized by UVvis spectra,Fourier transform infrared(FTIR),N2 adsorptiondesorption isotherms,Powder Xray diffraction(XRD),Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and Elemental analysis.The encapsulated catalysts show similar catalytic activity to the homogeneous counterparts and display higher selectivity to the targeted PODE35 products than their homogeneous counterparts in the synthesis of PODEn from methanol(MeOH)and trioxymethylene(TOM).The encapsulated catalysts exhibit a superior PODE35 selectivity and could be the promising catalysts for PODEn synthetic reaction.
