A novel biodiesel named curcas oil diethylene glycol ether esters (GDGEE) with higher oxygen content was prepared by refined curcas oil, methanol and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether as the reaction and KOH as catalyst. The optimum synthesis conditions was determine by orthogonal test, that molar ratio of methanol to oil was 6:1, catalyst amount was 1.2% of feed oil, reaction temperature was 65°C, reaction time was 30min. Both FT-IR and 1H-NMR were used to analysis and validate the molecular structure of GDGEE after preparation. The Physicochemical properties including oil-soluble, smoke point, kinematic viscosity, pour point, copper corrosion and closed cup flash point, were all tested by the national standard method for GDGEE and its blends with 0# diesel oil. The results confirm that GDGEE owns good physicochemical properties which can be used as diesel fuel additives or be used instead of diesel fuel alone, so a certain application value of it can easy be know accepted.

Abstract The process of fuel combustion in a diesel engine is determined by factors existing during liquid fuel injection and atomisation. The physicochemical properties of the fuel to a large extent decide upon the quality of this phase of cylinder fuelling. So it is important to ensure appropriate properties of a fuel affecting its atomisation and, as a result, combustion. The paper deals with the topic of diesel oil improvers and the analysis of their influence on atomisation and combustion indices. In the studies base diesel oil and a diesel fuel improved by a package of additives, were used. The process of conventional and improved fuel injection was analysed by using optical examinations. The amount of released heat was evaluated during the studies carried out on combustion. Significant aspects of the applied improvers in relation to fuel injection and its combustion have been indicated.

The paper is dedicated to the synthesis of mixed diester of dietylene glycol with high yield based on the natural petroleum and pentanoic acids using ZnO catalyst aiming the increase of plasticizer and antioxidant sorts. To define the optimum conditions for obtaining mixed diester with high yield, the reactions in the presence of ZnO catalyst of various quality have been carried out in the certain ratio components included in the reaction and temperature intervals. The optimum conditions, i.e. catalyst amount in 1.5 % mass regarding to the acid, molar ratio of the components alcohol: acid - 1.5:2, the temperature 130–140 oC in the highest yield of 92 % have been selected. The physical-chemical indexes of synthesized ester have been specified and material balance of obtainment process showed. For the improvement of thermal-oxidizing steadiness of diesel fuels, diester of diethylene glycol was tested and justified that by adding 0.004 % mass of mixed diester into the diesel fuel, thermal-oxidizing steadiness significantly increases.

Utilization of oxygenated fuels has proven to be able to significantly control diesel engine exhaust emissions. Presented in this paper is a new oxygenated fuel di-(2-methoxypropyl) carbonate (DMPC), which was produced through transesterification reaction using dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGMME) as reactants as well as potassium hydroxide (KOH) as catalyst. Its structure characterization was completed through analyses with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and GC-MS analytical techniques. Further study was made about the effect of the oxygenate addition to diesel fuel on chemicophysical properties, combustion performances, and exhaust emissions characteristics. Experimental results displayed that the oxygenated fuel is mutually soluble with diesel fuel in any proportion at ambient temperature around 25 °C. With DMPC introduced to diesel fuel, kinematic viscosity decreases linearly, smoke point increases linearly, and flash point declines remarkably even under low content 5 vol %. Results of combustion test carried out on a single cylinder, DI diesel engine running at 1600 rpm and 2000 rpm showed that CO can be reduced by up to 60.0%, smoke can be lessened by up to 90.2%, while NOx increases by 4.4–14.0% as 15 vol % and 25 vol % of the oxygenate was added to a diesel fuel. Engine in-cylinder peak pressure increases somewhat and ignition delay duration becomes a little shorter. Both engine in-cylinder pressure rising rate and heat release rate increase noticeably during the premixed combustion.

Biodiesel produced by transesterification process from vegetable oils or animal fats is viewed as a promising renewable energy source. Now a day’s diminishing of petroleum reserves in the ground and increasing environmental pollution prevention and regulations have made searching for renewable oxygenated energy sources from biomasses. Biodiesel is non-toxic, renewable, biodegradable, environmentally benign, energy efficient and diesel substituent fuel used in diesel engine which contributes minimal amount of global warming gases such as CO, CO2, SO2, NOX, unburned hydrocarbons, and particulate matters. The chemical composition of the biodiesel was examined by help of GC-MS and five fatty acid methyl esters such as methyl palmitate, methyl stearate, methyl oleate, methyl linoleate and methyl linoleneate were identified. The variables that affect the amount of biodiesel such as methanol/oil molar ratio, mass weight of catalyst and temperature were studied. In addition to this the physicochemical properties of the biodiesel such as (density, kinematic viscosity, iodine value high heating value, flash point, acidic value, saponification value, carbon residue, peroxide value and ester content) were determined and its corresponding values were 87 Kg/m3, 5.63 Mm2/s, 39.56 g I/100g oil, 42.22 MJ/Kg, 132oC, 0.12 mgKOH/g, 209.72 mgKOH/g, 0.04%wt, 12.63 meq/kg, and 92.67 wt% respectively. The results of the present study showed that all physicochemical properties lie within the ASTM and EN biodiesel standards. Therefore, mango seed oil methyl ester could be used as an alternative to diesel engine.

The physicochemical properties of six imported and one locally produced edible vegetable oils (soybean oil, sunflower oil, sunlit oil, hayat oil, avena oil, USA vegetable oil and Niger oil) purchased from Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia, were examined for their compositional quality. All the oil samples were characterized for specific gravity, moisture content, color, relative viscosity, refractive indices, ash content, peroxide value, saponification value, smoke point, acid value, free fatty acid value and trace metals contents using established methods. The result clearly indicates that some of the oil samples exhibited unacceptable value when compared with physicochemical parameters recommended by the Codex Alimentations Commission of FAO/WHO and the specification of Ethiopian standards. The contents of nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) in seven samples were determined using ICP-OES and their concentrations were found in the range of 1.8-20.4, 45.8-82.2 and 136.04-445.0 mg/kg, respectively.

Abstract Background The meager physicochemical properties like low solubility and low dissolution rate of rosuvastatin calcium remain as an obstruction for formulation development. In the present work, we explore the evolution of rosuvastatin cocrystal, which may offer the synergetic physico-chemical properties of the drug. Cocrystal crafting depends on two possible intermolecular interactions; heteromeric and the homomeric selection of compounds with complementary functional groups are contemplated as a possible cause of supramolecular synthons in cocrystal formation. Specifically, cocrystals of rosuvastatin with l-asparagine and l-glutamine with molar ratio (1:1) were fabricated by using slow solvent evaporation and slow evaporation techniques. Novel cocrystals of rosuvastatin-asparagine (RSC-C) and rosuvastatin-glutamine (RSC-G) cocrystals obtained by slow solvent evaporation were utilized for preliminary investigation and further scale-up was done by using the solvent evaporation technique. Results The novel cocrystals showed a new characteristic of powder X-ray diffraction, thermograms of differential scanning calorimetry, 1H liquid FT-NMR spectra, and scanning electron microscopy. These results signify the establishment of intermolecular interaction within the cocrystals. In both the novel cocrystals, rosuvastatin was determined to be engaged in the hydrogen bond interaction with the complementary functional groups of l-asparagine and l-glutamine. Compared with the pure rosuvastatin, RSC-C and RSC-G cocrystal showed 2.17-fold and 1.60-fold improved solubility respectively. The dissolution test showed that the RSC-C and RSC-G cocrystal exhibited 1.97-fold and 1.94-fold higher dissolution rate than the pure rosuvastatin in pH6.8 phosphate buffer respectively. Conclusion Modulation in the chemical environment, improvement in the solubility, and dissolution rate demonstrated the benefit of co-crystallization to improve the physicochemical properties of the drug.

Continuous growth in consumption of oil in the world, as well as ever-increasing quality requirements stimulate the search for new scientific and technological solutions to directionally affect the characteristics of petroleum products, including their chemical composition. The advantages of oxidative desulfurization before hydrotreating are the absence of the need to use hydrogen, as well as small capital and energy costs, since the method does not require high temperatures and pressures. The purpose of this work was to study the oxidation process of diesel fuel and to search for the optimal mode of oxidative desulfurization of diesel fuel in the presence of transition metals salts with the addition of mineral acids. The object of the study is a straight-run diesel fraction of the Pavlodar Petrochemical Plant with boiling temperatures of 180-350°C. The oxidation process was carried out with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of salts of the transition metals molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten. The article defined the basic physico-chemical characteristics of straight-run and desulfurized diesel fractions. The optimal catalyst (Na2MoO4) was selected at a molar ratio of metal to sulfur of 1:100 for the oxidation process of straight-run diesel fractions. As a result of oxidative desulfurization of diesel fuel in the presence of sodium molybdenum perox complexes, the total sulfur content decreased by 42.9%, and with the addition of sulfuric acid by 56.5%. An increase in the cetane index from 56.3 to 58.6 was revealed in the presence of sodium molybdate with the addition of sulfuric acid.

The demand for petroleum has increased recently due to the increase of world population, industries andtransportation. Biodiesel (fatty acids methyl esters) has become attractive because of high price of petroleum,limited recourses of crude oil, and environmental concerns. Most biodiesel is produced by transesterification oftriglycerides of refined/edible type oils using methanol and homogeneous catalyst such NaOH and KOH. The useof heterogeneous calcined CaCO3 catalyst, has advantages such as the ease of phase separation betweencatalyst and biodiesel. This paper presents factors affecting the synthesis of biodiesel from crude palm using thecalcined CaCO3 catalyst . The synthesis is carried out by two steps, the acid-catalyzed pre-esterification of free-fatty acid and followed by base-catalyzed transesterification of triglycerides. A study of optimizing the reactioncondition of the esterification followed by transesterification of crude palm oil (CPO) is performed to obtainmaximum production of biodiesel. Under conditions of catalyst calcination temperature of 9000C, reactor time of1.5 hours, catalyst dosage of 1,5%, reaction temperature of 700C and methanol/oil molar ratio of 9 : 1, the oilconversion is 74,6%. The as-synthesized biodiesel meets the requirements of Indonesian National Standard (SNI)for biodiesel.
