“…However, a significant difference was observed in the tail-end volatility of the kerosenediesel blends compared with diesel fuel, but which remains almost same among all kerosene-diesel blends. Baral and Raine [15] have reported that kerosene improves the cold flow characteristics of diesel fuel by simply diluting the problematic paraffin waxes present in the diesel fuel distillation cut. …”

“…The literature related to the effect of kerosene on diesel fuel properties shows that kerosene improves the cold flow characteristics of diesel fuel by simply diluting the problematic paraffin waxes present in the diesel fuel distillation curve. Baral and Raine [15] and Yadav et al [16] have reported that the density of the kerosene-diesel blend remains within the prescribed limit even in higher blends, while kinematic viscosity is considerably decreased with an increase in blend ratio. Experimental work related to kerosene-diesel blends is carried out by very few researchers.…”

“…These gensets and pumps use gasoline, diesel, kerosene and adulterated fuels. Fuel adulteration by blending kerosene with gasoline or diesel is becoming a widespread problem because of the financial benefits resulting from the price difference between the two fuels [15].…”

An experimental investigation has been carried out to evaluate the effect of kerosene as an additive to diesel fuel on the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of a direct-injection diesel engine, typically used in gensets and agricultural pumps over the entire load range. The engine tests were carried out as per the ISO 8178-D2 fivemode test cycle procedure for baseline diesel fuel and three blend fuels at different engine loads. In this study, 5%, 10% and 15% kerosene (by volume) were blended into diesel and denoted as K5D, K10D and K15D, respectively. Laboratory fuels tests showed that beyond 15% kerosene blend, the viscosity and density of the blended fuel reduces compared with the acceptable limits, which can further reduce lubricity and create potential wear problems in sensitive fuel-injection pumps and fuel-injector designs. The experimental test results showed that theK5D blend had low smoke, low NO x , high brake thermal efficiency and low brake specific fuel consumption compared with K10D and K15D blend. An overview of the results show that the K5D blend is the most favourable blend compared with K10D and K15Don the basis of performance and emission characteristics.

“…They found that peak cylinder pressure, CO, hydrocarbon, and smoke emissions decreased significantly 19 . However, the experimental studies on blending biodiesel with kerosene did not receive sufficient attention due to several undesirable factors, such as decreased kinematic viscosity, as Baral and Raine 20 reported. Moreover, Yadav et al 21 revealed that this mixture (diesel and kerosene) decreased the opacity value.…”

In the coming years, energy sources will play a vital role in global development. Biofuels made from sustainable sources are essential for the global economy's long‐term viability and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Clean, renewable, and sustainable must be the watchwords for future energy strategy. Alcohol fuels are again becoming a popular term in the context of green fuel usage in relation to climate change mitigation and clean fuel technology. In this review, low alcohol synthesis, applications and limitations as fuel and its catalytic conversion to fuel and petrochemicals were discussed, in addition to the techno‐economic evaluation, environmental implications and prospects for practical application of low alcohols as fuels and petrochemicals. The study shows that lower alcohols have emerged as a fundamental feedstock for the synthesis of fuels and value‐added chemicals due to the increased accessibility of conversion technologies in recent years, but the cost of producing lower alcohols affects their commercialization and availability.

“…Obtaining consistent and high-quality degradation products that can be effectively utilized in various industries is an additional issue [22]. Achieving a high degree of fuel conversion into desired alternative fuels is particularly important during the waste pyrolysis process [23,24]. Factors such as heat transport, reaction kinetics, residence time, and reactor design play a significant role in maximizing waste conversion into useful products while simultaneously minimizing energy consumption and optimizing resource utilization [25].…”

This paper presents the application of two versions of the multilayer fluidized bed made out of two materials with significantly different densities. The first type of fluidized bed was composed of raw cenospheres and quartz sand. The second type of fluidized bed was composed of cenospheres coated with iron oxides and quartz sand. A variable vertical density profiles in the prepared fluidized beds were confirmed, making them suitable for processing polymeric materials, specifically, polyolefins with a density below 1 g/cm3. The polyolefin pyrolysis process was investigated in both versions of the fluidized bed at temperatures of 520, 540, 560, and 590 °C. The products of the pyrolysis were monitored using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy (with a resolution of 1 cm−1). While the process is organized in these fluidized beds, the absence of the accumulation of solid residues is notable. The results show that the pyrolytic gaseous mixture is composed of numerous compounds, namely, unsaturated and saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and benzene. The possibility of producing a gas rich in ethylene, propylene, and 1-butene during the pyrolysis was demonstrated. Additionally, during the pyrolysis of both polymers, the production of benzene was shown with yields, ranging from 5%wt. in the fluidized bed made out of raw cenospheres to 11 %wt. in the fluidized bed made out of cenospheres modified by iron oxides. Due to the complex nature of the resulting pyrolytic gas, it is suggested that we process the created gaseous mixtures entirely in a steam conversion process, making them a potential source of hydrogen.
