Di-n-buthylether, n-octanol, and n-octane as fuel candidates for diesel engine combustion

Reactive force field simulation studies on the combustion behavior of n -octanol

“…Thus, the hydrocarbon, CO and combustion noise emissions exceed than those of diesel combustion at low load operation. Kerschgens et al [19] also investigated the combustion behavior of n-octanol in diesel engine. While on one side lower soot emissions and nitrogen oxide emissions were obtained, on the other hand the emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and CO were found to be rather high due to the longer ignition delay.…”

Advanced Biofuels and Beyond: Chemistry Solutions for Propulsion and Production

“…Theexamples in this Review focused on bio-based furans and tetrahydrofurans,a srecent research has shown that, for these compounds in particular, progress can be made rapidly with asystematic approach that combines theoretical chemistry,c ombustion kinetics,l aboratory experiments,a nd engine investigations.T he discussion of their synthetic accessibility through chemo-and biocatalytic transformations involving central platform chemicals demonstrates how novel catalytic methods can be rationally motivated by such atarget-oriented approach rather than being satisfied with structures that can be easily obtained from the cellulosic biomass.The structures used in this Review are,o fcourse,o nly as mall subset of the parameter space opened by the molecular diversity that is accessible from biogenic feedstocks.F urther potential fuel molecules derived from lignocellulose such as longer-chain alcohols,e thers,o re sters have already also come into perspective. [165,189] Thedesign process is not limited to biomass as the feedstock and may similarly be applied to other energy carriers such as e-fuels.T he general concepts derived in this Review should stimulate further combustion research as well as catalyst and process design for such molecular targets.…”

“…monomer for the synthesis of polyethylene.1 -OcOH has recently attracted much interest as an alternative biofuel with diesel-like properties. [165,189] 1-OcOH is today produced mainly by the reaction of petrochemical ethylene with triethylaluminum (Ziegler alcohol synthesis). [363] Another petrochemical approach for the synthesis of 1-OcOH is the oxo synthesis starting from n-heptene.…”
