The n-tetradecylacrylate-vinyl acetate copolymer (PPV) was prepared from n-tetradecylacrylate and vinyl acetate. The PPV was employed as pour point depressant to improve the low-temperature fluidity of the -20# diesel from Daqing Petrochemical Company. The result indicated that the solidification (SP) and the cold filter plugging point (CFPP) were affected largely by PPV. And when mass fraction of PPV -14(copolymerization conditions: 80 °C,w(benzoyl peroxide)1%(total weight of raw materials), n(vinyl acetate)∶n(n- tetradecanolacrylate) = 4∶1 ) in diesel fuel was 0.1%wt, the SP reduced by 15.0 °C, the CFPP reduced by 6.0 °C simultaneously; We analysise the different molecular weight of PPV-14, and discover that the molecular weight of PPV-14 is ralated to the the low-temperature fluidity of the -20# diesel from Daqing Petrochemical Company. When mass fraction of PPV -14(molecular weight is 15000, distribution coefficient is 3.11) in diesel fuel was 0.1% wt, the SP reduced by 18.0 °C, the CFPP reduced by 7.0 °C, simultaneously.

Physico-chemical properties of diethyl ether/linseed oil (DEE/LO) fuel blends were empirically tested in this article for the first time. In particular, kinematic viscosity (ν), density (ρ), lower heating value (LHV), cold filter plugging point (CFPP) and surface tension (σ) were examined. For this research diethyl ether (DEE) was blended with linseed oil (LO) in volumetric ratios of 10%, 20% and 30%. Obtained results were compared with literature data of diethyl ether/rapeseed oil (DEE/RO) fuel blends get in previous research in such a way looking on differences also between oil types. It was found that DEE impacts significantly on the reduction of plant oil viscosity, density and surface tension and improve low temperature properties of tested oils. In particular, the addition of 10% DEE to LO effectively reduces its kinematic viscosity by 53% and even by 82% for the blend containing 30% DEE. Tested ether reduces density and surface tension of LO up to 6% and 25% respectively for the blends containing 30% DEE. The measurements of the CFPP showed that DEE significantly improves the low temperature properties of LO. In the case of the blend containing 30% DEE the CFPP can be lowered up to −24 °C. For this reason DEE/LO blends seem to be valuable as a fuel for diesel engines in the coldest season of the year. Moreover, DEE/LO blends have been tested in the engine research. Based on results it can be stated that the engine operated with LO results in worse performance compared with regular diesel fuel (DF). However, it was found that these disadvantages could be reduced with DEE as a component of the fuel mixture. Addition of this ether to LO improves the quality of obtained fuel blends. For this reason, the efficiency of DEE/LO blend combustion process is similar for the engine fuelled with regular diesel fuel. In this research it was confirmed that the smoke opacity reaches the highest value for the engine fuelled with plant oils. However, addition of 20% DEE reduces this emission to the value comparable for the engine operated with diesel fuel.

Abstract The conversion of biomass using fast pyrolysis has the potential to be significantly less expensive at scale compared to alternative methods such as fermentation and gasification. Selective upgrading of the products of fast pyrolysis through chemical catalysis produces compounds with lower oxygen content and lower acidity; however, identifying the specific catalytic pathways for producing viable fuels and fuel additives often requires a trial-and-error approach. Specifically, key properties of the compounds must be experimentally tested to evaluate the viability of the resultant compounds. The present work proposes predictive models constructed with artificial neural networks (ANNs) for cetane number (CN), yield sooting index (YSI), kinematic viscosity (KV), and cloud point (CP), with blind test set median absolute errors of 5.14 cetane units, 3.36 yield sooting index units, 0.07 millimeters squared per second, and 4.89 degrees Celsius, respectively. Furthermore, the cetane number, yield sooting index, kinematic viscosity, and cloud point were predicted for over three hundred expected products from the catalytic upgrading of pyrolysis oil. It was discovered that 130 of these compounds have predicted cetane numbers greater than 40, with four of these compounds possessing predicted yield sooting index values significantly less than that of diesel fuel and predicted viscosities and cloud points comparable to that of diesel fuel.

A tendência de um combustível solidificar a baixas temperaturas é verificada através das Propriedades de Escoamento a Frio (PEF). Tais propriedades no biodiesel de sebo bovino (B100-Sb) podem afetar a viabilidade comercial desse combustível, devido à composição em termos de ésteres metílicos de ácidos graxos (EMAG) ser predominantemente composta por saturados. Estudou-se o efeito de adição de triacetina sobre o melhoramento das PEF do B100-Sb e das misturas BX (B5a B50) nas frações volumétricas de 0,5, 1, 5, 10 e 20% (v/v) de triacetina dissolvida no B100-Sb, bem como o comportamento reológico desses combustíveis foram obtidos usando-se um reômetro do tipo Searle. As propriedades de escoamento a frio de tais combustíveis foram obtidas através dos Mini Pour Point/Cloud Point e CFPP testers. A adição da triacetina teve uma ação discreta quanto à diminuição do ponto de névoa, porém, atuou de forma mais efetiva sobre o ponto de fluidez desses combustíveis. Foi constatado que nas misturas BX quanto maior a proporção de B100-Sb presente na mistura, maior a redução do PF do combustível. Com relação ao B100-Sb, os melhores resultados foram obtidos com o percentual de 1,0 % de triacetina no combustível, aumentando-se tal valor percentual não houve alteração com relação aos PEF. Os B100-Sb, óleo diesel e misturas BX e misturas BX-Triacetina comportaram-se como Fluidos Newtonianos e Fluidos pseudoplásticos a 20≤ T≤ 90°C e 14 ≤ T ≤ 18°C, respectivamente. As curvas de viscosidade evidenciaram que presença da triacetina atua inibindo o crescimento e aglomeração dos cristais de EMAG.

In manipulation and utilization of biodiesel and its mixtures, especially in the winter period, one of the most serious problems is relatively poor low-temperature flow properties. Classic methods of transesterification solve this problem, so biodiesel quality can be improved only by additives (cold flow improvers). This research examines the effect of commercial additives on the improvement of low-temperature characteristics of biodiesel. Namely, cold filter plugging point (CFPP), pour point (PP) and cloud point (CP) were tested in accordance with EN 116 and ISO 3015 standards. The influence of additives on different types of biodiesel, its different age and influence on the mixture of 5 % biodiesel and fossil diesel were examined. A better effect of additivation to "fresh" biodiesel (made using rapeseed oil), compared to "aged" biodiesel was noted. Improvement of additivation was achieved by mixing additives with an organic solvent (toluene). It was demonstrated that different types of additives are suitable for different types of biodiesel as well as mixtures of biodiesel and fossil diesel. Additives in which solvent is compatible with the type of biodiesel were found to exhibit better performance.

The Co-Mn/TiO2 catalysts with different contents of Co were prepared by the impregnation method. Catalytic activity tests showed that the addition of Co could obviously enhance the SCR performance of Mn/TiO2 catalyst, and the NO conversion of 0.05Co-Mn/TiO2 samples could reach 94.03% at 180 °C. At the same time, with the help of XRD, BET, H2-TPR and NH3-TPD, the various physical and chemical characteristics as well as phase structures of catalysts were characterized systematically. According to the results, the formations of crystalline CoMn2O4, Mn3O4 and amorphous Mn2O3 were detected. Furthermore, Co doping could reduce the reduction temperatures of catalysts and enhance the adsorption capacities of NH3, resulting in the excellent SCR performance at low temperature.
