“…Environmental concerns with respect to fuel sulfur content, which leads to the production of SO x and subsequently acid rain, have led to the production of low‐sulfur fuels. This has become a major issue with diesel fuels, increasing the need for fuel reformulations and lubricity‐enhancing additives …”

The Effect of Functional Groups in Bio‐Derived Fuel Candidates

Interest in developing renewable fuels is continuing to grow and biomass represents a viable source of renewable carbon with which to replace fossil-based components in transportation fuels. During our own work, we noticed that chemists think in terms of functional groups whereas fuel engineers think in terms of physical fuel properties. In this Concept article, we discuss the effect of carbon and oxygen functional groups on potential fuel properties. This serves as a way of informing our own thinking and provides us with a basis with which to design and synthesize molecules from biomass that could provide useful transportation fuels.

“…Arkoudeas et al [17] mentioned that, the lubricity of number 1 diesel and number 2 diesel fuel appears to rise from very small quantities of polar, to quite high boiling point components. Agarwal et al [6] described that, lubricity additives comprise a range of surface active chemicals.…”

Lubricity Improvement of the Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel Fuel with the Biodiesel

2015

Ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is essential requirement as per the emission regulation. With the adoption of hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process, the diesel fuel loses its inherent lubricity, however certain amount of lubricity of diesel fuel is needed to save several engine components from wear and failure. Though the loss of lubricity of the diesel fuel is observed with the removal of sulfur, it is mainly due to the loss of nitrogen and oxygen based polar trace compounds which are also removed in the HDS process. Unrefined biodiesels having little amount of monoglycerides (<0.8%) and free fatty acids also show better lubricity and fuel properties to be used as fuel lubricant. Biodiesel are also considered as the suitable blending compound with the diesel. This study found that the biodiesel blends up to 20% with the diesel fuel can effectively reduce both the wear of the tribo-contact surfaces as well as the friction coefficient. The use of biodegradable fuel lubricant has set away the threat of environment pollution by the diesel additives which are derived chemically. The oxidation stability and the low temperature properties of both the biodiesel and the vegetable oils can be improved with some chemical modification. It can be concluded that the use of biodiesel with the diesel fuel can be an appropriate option for effective engine lubrication system where only the fuel has to provide the required lubricity.

“…This requires higher pressures in the fuel pump and injection systems, both of which are lubricated by the fuel itself. Similar to diesel fuels, the sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen content along with the fuel viscosity have all been found to influence the lubricity of gasoline [7,9].…”
