Production and utilization performance of a glycerol derived additive for diesel engines

摘要: Abstract Oxygenated additives have been the subject of much research because they notably improve fuel characteristics and combustion performance. Moreover, there is a tendency to use oxygenated derived from biomass. In case glycerol, previous studies shown that compounds are generated by dehydration, decomposition isomerization reactions glycerol its intermediaries, where selected route these depends on type catalyst used. this work, liquid phase obtained during catalytic at 400 °C using basic was characterized GC GC–MS. This constituted mostly highly known energetic use. After drying process, effect condensates as an additive in diesel–biodiesel (B5) engines 0.2% (v/v) concentration evaluated. The physical properties mechanic, thermodynamic, environmental performance stationary diesel engine were analyzed current study. presence decreased pour point amount particulate matter combustion.
