Increasing demand of fuel and drastic use of petroleum diesel in everyday life and its hazards cause lots many environmental issue for this beautiful planet. Intensive attention and serious efforts are required to see this problem. In this review paper some comparative study discussed to find out the certain alternative way for diesel fuel and efforts made to increase its practical performance. In this paper various oxygenated additives with different percentage are added to petroleum diesel and its effects on various performance parameters and environmental parameter are studied.
This paper presents options for increasing production of diesel fuel in a refinery by FCC light cycle oil (LCO) hydrotreating together with the straight run gas oil (SRGO). The experiments consist of hydrotreating mixtures of 10, 20% LCO and 90% and respectively 80% SRGO at 360, 380�C, two liquid hourly space velocity 0.9 h-1, 1.2 h-1, pressure 50 bar in the presence of two industrial catalyst type Co/Mo and NiMo. The research has focused on the influence of LCO/SRGO ratio, type of catalyst and hydrotreating conditions on diesel fuel quality compared with characteristics required by standard EN 590.
The review presents an analysis of the scientific-technical level and trends in the development of advanced foreign and national catalysts for main oil refining hydroprocesses – hydrocracking of vacuum gas-oil and hydrotreatment of various distillates (cat-cracked gasoline, diesel fuel, and vacuum gas-oil). Prospects of industrial production and wide application of the hydroprocessing catalysts produced in Russia are estimated.
