Dimethoxy Methane in Diesel Fuel: Part 2. The Effect of Fuels on Emissions of Toxic Air Pollutants and Gas/Solid Phase PAH Using a Composite Of Engine Operating Modes

Reducing the Emission of Particles from a Diesel Engine by Adding an Oxygenate to the Fuel

“…NOx emissions, on the other hand, have been reported to decrease when oxygenates are added (3,6). Different organic compounds (for example, alcohols, ethers, and esthers) have been studied as potential additives to diesel, and the influence of the levels of particles as well as other components have been reported (3,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). A general finding is that the reduction of particles seems to be linearly dependent on the oxygen content, and, thus, the blend with the highest oxygen content results in the highest reduction of particles (14)(15)(16).…”

“…The reason for this seems to be political; both the European Union (EU) and the United States have declared their interest in promoting the use of bioenergy ( , ). Numerous studies have also shown that oxygen-containing compounds that are added to diesel fuel reduce the particulate matter (PM) ( − ). In contrast, aldehydes seem to be emitted in somewhat higher levels when oxygenates are added ( − ).…”

Density and Viscosity of Saturated Liquid Dimethoxymethane from (218.15 to 383.15) K

“…As petroleum resources become depleted and environmental pollution becomes more serious, especially in developing countries, it becomes an urgent problem to find and develop new alternative clean fuels. In recent research, it was founded that using dimethoxymethane (CH 3 −O−CH 2 −O−CH 3 ) as a fuel additive can greatly improve diesel oil and petrol combustion properties. , Furthermore, it has a large oxygen content (42% by mass) and is miscible with diesel fuel, hence it is regarded as a good fuel additive and a potential alternative fuel in the future. In addition, dimethoxymethane is also extensively used as a solvent in household and industrial sprays, as a blowing agent for polyurethane foam, and in the production of ion-exchange resins.…”

Exhaust Emissions From a 6.5L Diesel Engine Using Synthetic Fuel and Low-Sulfur Diesel Fuel

“…These fuel property differences should result in reduced exhaust emissions from military diesel engines. Synthetic F-T fuels have demonstrated reduced diesel exhaust particulate matter in other research (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”
