Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Motor-Kraftstoff und ein Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung, der aus einem Grundkraftstoff aus Kohlenwasserstoffen oder überwiegend Kohlenwasserstoffen und Zusätzen von Alkoholen und/oder Ethern und/oder Ketonen sowie Additivs und gegebenenfalls Wasser und Aromaten besteht.The invention relates to an engine fuel and a method for its production, which consists of a base fuel consisting of hydrocarbons or predominantly hydrocarbons and additions of alcohols and / or ethers and / or ketones and additives and optionally water and aromatics.
Die Verwendung von Methanol und Ethanol als Zusatz zu konventionellen Kraftstoffen ist seit langem bekannt. Auch der Zusatz von Gemischen von Methanol und tert.-Butanol ist bekannt (Oil and Gas Journal, 31. Dez. (1979) S. 48).The use of methanol and ethanol as an additive to conventional fuels has long been known. The addition of mixtures of methanol and tert-butanol is also known (Oil and Gas Journal, Dec. 31 (1979) p. 48).
Die Probleme, die mit dem praktischen Gebrauch solcher Kraftstoffe verbunden sind, sind jedoch nur zum Teil gelöst, so daß die Einführung derselben in die allgemeine Fahrpraxis noch nicht möglich ist. Andererseits gewinnen aus volkswirtschaftlichen Gründen in zahlreichen Ländern alternative Kraftstoffe zunehmend an Bedeutung.However, the problems associated with the practical use of such fuels have only been partially solved, so that it is not yet possible to introduce them into general driving practice. On the other hand, alternative fuels are becoming increasingly important in numerous countries for economic reasons.
Probleme bestehen insbesondere noch immer bezüglich der Phasentrennung in eine Alkohol- und Kohlenwasserstoffphase, insbesondere bei tiefen Temperaturen und feuchtem Klima, obgleich hier Fortschritte erzielt wurden im Falle des Methanolzusatzes zu üblichem Kraftstoff durch gleichzeitigen Einsatz von tert.-Butanol . Butanole stehen jedoch, da sie aus C4-Schnitten von Ethylenanlagen gewonnen werden und auch dort nur dann anfallen, wenn Naphtha oder Mittelöl als Feed eingesetzt wird, nur in begrenztem Umfang zur Verfügung und zudem zu relativ hohen Kosten. Die Verfügbarkeit eines alternativen Kraftstoffes besteht daher für den Fall eines relativ großen Zumischbedarfs an Butanolen grundsätzlich in nur begrenztem Umfang.In particular, problems still exist with regard to phase separation into an alcohol and hydrocarbon phase, especially at low temperatures and humid climates, although progress has been made in this case in the addition of methanol to conventional fuel through the simultaneous use of tert-butanol. However, butanols are only available to a limited extent because they are obtained from C 4 cuts from ethylene plants and are only obtained there if naphtha or medium oil is used as feed, and also at relatively high costs. The availability of an alternative fuel is therefore only available to a limited extent in the event of a relatively large need to add butanols.
Weitere Probleme sind noch immer die optimale Vergasereinstellung, Zündwilligkeit, Verdichtung und Gasblasenbildung bei hohen Temperaturen. Obgleich der Einsatz von reinem Ethanol zu üblichen Kraftstoffen gegenüber Methanol zu geringeren Problemen führt, ist es bis jetzt nicht möglich, für die übliche Fahrpraxis Kraftstoffe mit Ethanolzusatz zur Verfügung zu stellen, die risikolos vom Kraftfahrer verwendet werden können und darüber hinaus die bestehenden Kraftstoff-Normen (DIN-Norm 51600 in der Bundesrepublik) erfüllen. Insbesondere ist dies bis heute nicht bei Einsatz von nicht absolutiertem Ethanol möglich, das ca. 4,4 Gew.% Wasser als Folge der Azeötropbildung bei der destillativen Aufarbeitung enthält und noch weniger möglich bei Ethanol, das mehr Wasser enthält als es dem Ethanol/Wasser-Azeotrop bei Normaldruck entspricht.Other problems are still the optimal carburetor setting, ignitability, compression and gas bubbles at high temperatures. Although the use of pure ethanol leads to fewer problems than conventional fuels compared to methanol, it is not yet possible to provide fuels with added ethanol for the usual driving experience that can be used safely by the driver, as well as the existing fuel standards (DIN standard 51600 in the Federal Republic). In particular, this has not been possible to date with the use of non-absolute ethanol, which contains approx. 4.4% by weight of water as a result of the formation of azeotrope during the distillative work-up, and even less possible with ethanol, which contains more water than ethanol / water -Azeotrope at normal pressure.
Volkswirtschaftlich ist es andererseits von großem Interesse, nicht absolutiertes Ethanol, insbesondere z.B. Bioalkohol, üblichen Kraftstoffen zumischen zu können und einen leicht zugänglichen alternativen Kraftstoff auf der Basis nachwachsender heimischer Rohstoffe zur Verfügung zu haben, der allen Anforderungen genügt.Economically, on the other hand, it is of great interest to use non-absolute ethanol, especially e.g. Bio alcohol, to be able to mix conventional fuels and to have an easily accessible alternative fuel based on renewable raw materials available that meets all requirements.
Destilliert man Ethanol/Wasser-Gemische bei Normaldruck in einer Rektifizierkolonne, so erhält man bei dem Minimumsiedepunkt von 78,15 °C ein Azeotrop bestehend aus 95,57 Gew.% Ethanol und 4,43 Gew.% Wasser.If ethanol / water mixtures are distilled at normal pressure in a rectification column, an azeotrope consisting of 95.57% by weight of ethanol and 4.43% by weight of water is obtained at the minimum boiling point of 78.15 ° C.
Im Gärungsgewerbe, in dem aus Naturprodukten wie Obst, Getreide, Kartoffeln, zuckerhaltigen Naturprodukten aber auch Zellulose oder Sulfitablaugen sog. Bioethanol gewonnen wird, treibt man aus der häufig, bezogen auf Ethanol sehr verdünnten, durch Gärung erhaltenen Maische ein-Ethanol ab, das mehr Wasser enthält, als dem oben angegebenen Azeotrop entspricht. Die Abtreibvorrichtungen, die auch als Brenngeräte bezeichnet werden, können diskontinuierlich oder kontinuierlich arbeiten.Sie besitzen häufig am Kopf der Blase sogenannte Verstärkungskolonnen. Je nach Auslegung werden durch den Rektifiziereffekt dieser Aufsätze Ethanolqualitäten mit Wasseranteilen bis 25 Vol.% erhalten.In the fermentation industry, in which so-called bioethanol is obtained from natural products such as fruit, cereals, potatoes, natural products containing sugar, but also cellulose or sulfite waste liquor, the ethanol obtained from the mash, which is often very dilute with respect to ethanol, is driven off by the ethanol Contains water than the azeotrope given above. The abortion devices, which are also referred to as burners, can work discontinuously or continuously. They often have so-called reinforcing columns at the top of the bladder. Depending on the design, the rectification effect of these attachments results in ethanol qualities with water components of up to 25% by volume.
In Brenngeräten läßt sich unter relativ geringem apparativem Aufwand und Energie-Aufwand Bioethanol erhalten. Da dieser Bioalkohol auch organische Verunreinigungen enthält, wie z.B. Aldehyde, Ketone, Essigsäure und Ester hat man bisher den Einsatz dieses Bioethanols in Kraftfahrzeugen als Zusatz zu üblichen Benzin-Kraftstoffen nicht für durchführbar gehalten, wobei zusätzlich das Problem der vollständigen Mischbarkeit bei insbesondere tiefen Außentemperaturen aufgrund des hohen Wassergehaltes des Bioalkohols nicht für wirtschaftlich lösbar gehalten wurde.Bioethanol can be obtained in burners with relatively little expenditure on equipment and energy. Since this bioalcohol also contains organic impurities, e.g. Aldehydes, ketones, acetic acid and esters have so far not considered the use of this bioethanol in motor vehicles as an additive to conventional petrol fuels feasible, and in addition the problem of complete miscibility at particularly low outside temperatures due to the high water content of the bioalcohol was not considered economically solvable has been.
Ein typisches Bioethanol besitzt z. B. folgende Daten:
Versuche, reines Ethanol ohne andere Komponenten, bzw. nicht absolutiertes Ethanol ohne weitere Komponenten, als Kraftstoff einzusetzen, haben insbesondere in den europäischen Ländern ebenfalls noch nicht zu einem brauchbaren Kraftstoff geführt, da einmal relativ hohe Kosten zu berücksichtigen sind und andererseits das entsprechende Verteilersystem fehlt und auch in der näheren Zukunft nicht zu erwarten ist. Zudem sind hier die Kaltstartprobleme, sicherheitstechnische Probleme, wie der relativ große Explosionsbereich in der Gasphase der Kraftstofftanks oder das Problem der Gasblasenbildung während des Fahrbetriebs bei höheren Temperaturen zu berücksichtigen. Ferner kann Ethanol in den europäischen Ländern in nur begrenzter Menge bereitgestellt werden.Attempts to use pure ethanol without other components, or non-absolute ethanol without other components, as fuel, have not yet led to a usable fuel, especially in European countries, because relatively high costs have to be taken into account and the corresponding distribution system is missing and also in is not expected in the near future. In addition, the cold start problems, safety problems, such as the relatively large explosion area in the gas phase of the fuel tanks or the problem of gas bubbles during driving at higher temperatures must be taken into account. Furthermore, ethanol can only be supplied in limited quantities in European countries.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es daher, einen Kraftstoff zur Verfügung zu stellen, der die angegebenen technischen Probleme vermeidet, allen Anforderungen der Kraftstoff-Normen genügt, die Verfügbarkeit der Zusatzkomponenten berücksichtigt und im vorhandenen Tankstellen-Verteilungsnetz problemlos dem Kraftfahrer angeboten werden kann.The object of the present invention was therefore to provide a fuel which avoids the specified technical problems, meets all the requirements of the fuel standards, takes into account the availability of the additional components and can be offered to the motorist in the existing gas station distribution network without any problems.

Bei letzterem ist ein Teil der im technichen Methanol enthaltenen Verunreinigungen über Kopf abgetrieben. Weitere erfindungsgemäße mit Bioethanol kombinierte Zusätze sind Butanol (e), von denen tert.-Butanol bevorzugt ist, jedoch auch Butanolgemische eingesetzt werden können, Methyl-tert.-butylether und Aceton. Zugemischt sein können in gewissen Mengen auch andere Ether, wie z.B. Dimethyl-, Diethyl-, Methyl-tert.-amylether und Komponenten wie z.B. Aromaten. Auch Wasser kann zusätzlich hinzugefügt werden. Aceton kann als reines oder technisches oder Bioaceton zugemischt werden.The fuel according to the invention contains from> 0 to 10% by volume of ethanol with a higher water content than the ethanol / water azeotrope, but can also contain proportions of pure ethanol and / or ethanol / water azeotrope and / or ethanol or technical grade ethanol contain with less water, preferably> 0 - 5 vol.% bioethanol is used, furthermore> 0 to 5 vol.% methanol can be contained, which can be technical, undistilled methanol, or topped technical, undistilled methanol.

Ferner kann Blei in Form seiner üblicherweise in Kraftstoffen verwendeten Verbindungen zugesetzt werden.As an additive, numerous additives that are available on the market, such as Keropur from BASF, can be used. Lead can also be added in the form of its compounds commonly used in fuels.
Obgleich die Komponenten in der Weise miteinander gemischt werden können, daß man eine hochoktanige Superkraftstoffkomponente auf Kohlenwasserstoffbasis und/oder eine geringer oktanige Normalkraftstoffkomponente auf Kohlenwasserstoffbasis mit Bioethanol, Methanol, Butanol (en), Methyl-tert.-butylether, Aceton und den Additivs mischt, hat sich als bevorzugte Ausführungsform bewährt, Superkraftstoff und/oder Normalkraftstoff, die gegebenenfalls bereits > 0 - 5 Vol.% Methanol und > 0 -10 Vol.% Butanol (e) enthalten, mit einer vorgemischten Komponente zu mischen, die Bioethanol, Butanol (e) und/oder Methanol und/oder Methyl-tert.-butylether und/oder Aceton und gegebenenfalls Additive und Bleiverbindungen enthält.Although the components can be mixed together by mixing a high octane hydrocarbon-based super fuel component and / or a lower octane hydrocarbon-based normal fuel component with bioethanol, methanol, butanol (s), methyl tert-butyl ether, acetone and the additives, has proven to be a preferred embodiment of mixing super fuel and / or normal fuel, which may already contain> 0-5 vol.% methanol and> 0-10 vol.% butanol (s), with a premixed component containing bioethanol, butanol ( e) and / or methanol and / or methyl tert-butyl ether and / or acetone and optionally additives and lead compounds.
Die Untersuchungen haben ergeben, daß auf diese Weise ein besonders wirkungsvolles und wirtschaftliches Mischen der Komponenten möglich ist und daß ferner bereits auf dem Markt befindliche Kraftstoffe, die bereits Methanol und/oder Butanol(e) enthalten, zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffs verwendet werden können.The investigations have shown that a particularly effective and economical mixing of the components is possible in this way and that fuels already on the market which already contain methanol and / or butanol (s) can also be used to produce the fuel according to the invention.
Das Verfahren zur Herstellung erfindungsgemäßer Motorkraftstoffe wird durch die folgenden Beispiele näher erläutert.The process for the production of motor fuels according to the invention is explained in more detail by the following examples.
Ein typisches erfindungsgemäßes Gemisch hat z.B. folgende Zusammensetzung:
Es wurde zu einem Superkraftstoff zugegeben, der 3 Vol.% Methanol und 2 Vol.% tert.-Butanol enthielt, wobei 2 Vol.% des Gemischs mit 98 Vol.% des Superkraftstoffs gemischt wurden.It was added to a super fuel containing 3% by volume of methanol and 2% by volume of tert-butanol, 2% by volume of the mixture being mixed with 98% by volume of the super fuel.
Es wurde ein Gemisch hergestellt aus folgenden Komponenten:
Dieses Gemisch wurde zu einem Superkraftstoff gegeben, der keine Methanol/Butanol-Zusätze enthielt, so daß ein Gemisch von 7 Vol.% und 93 Vol.% Superkraftstoff erhalten wurde.This mixture was added to a super fuel containing no methanol / butanol additives, so that a mixture of 7 vol% and 93 vol% super fuel was obtained.
Es wurde ein Gemisch hergestellt aus
Dieses Gemisch wurde zu einem Gemisch von 80 Vol.% Superkraftstoff und 10 Vol.% Normalkraftstoff zugesetzt, so daß ein Gemisch von 90 Vol.% Super/Normalkraftstoff und 10 Vol.% Gemisch der sauerstoffhaltigen Verbindungen erhalten wurde.This mixture was added to a mixture of 80% by volume of super fuel and 10% by volume of normal fuel, so that a mixture of 90% by volume of super / normal fuel and 10% by volume of mixture of the oxygen-containing compounds was obtained.
Es wurde ein Gemisch hergestellt ausA mixture was made from

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Bioethanol-.Superkraftstoff hat folgende typische Kenndaten:
Es hat sich für den Fachmann überraschend gezeigt, daß mit den erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffen die Kohlenmonoxid-Emission gegenüber den üblichen Norm-Kraftstoffen deutlich gesenkt werden kann. Gleichzeitig wurde festgestellt, daß sich im unteren und mittleren Drehzahlbereich ein verbessertes Durchzugsvermögen bei gleichzeitig weicherem Motorlauf ergibt.It has surprisingly been found for the person skilled in the art that the carbon monoxide emission can be significantly reduced with the fuels according to the invention compared to the conventional standard fuels. At the same time, it was found that in the lower and middle speed range there is an improved pulling power with a smoother engine running.
Die Untersuchungen der Anmelderin haben zum ersten Mal zu dem bisher unerreichten Ergebnis geführt, daß Ethanol, das einen höheren Wasseranteil besitzt als dem Ethanol/Wasser-Azeotrop bei Normaldruck entspricht, ohne daß dieses technische Ethanol einer besonderen Reinigung unterzogen werden muß, in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise üblichen Kraftstoffen zugesetzt werden kann, wobei dem Kraftfahrer neue Kraftstoffe zur Verfügung gestellt werden mit den Eigenschaften der Normgerechtigkeit, Umweltfreundlichkeit, Verfügbarkeit der Komponenten, Nutzbarkeit des vorhandenen Verteilungssystems, Nutzbarkeit in konventionellen Motoren und Kraftfahrzeugen, technisch problemlosen Herstellung und Mischung des erfinungsgemäßen Kraftstoffs, Zumischbarkeit zu allen auf dem Markt vorhandenen Norm-gerechten Kraftstoffen und einwandfreier Mischbarkeit ohne Gefahr der Phasentrennung.The investigations of the applicant have for the first time led to the previously unattainable result that ethanol, which has a higher water content than the ethanol / water azeotrope at normal pressure, does not correspond to this technical ethanol must be subjected to a special cleaning, in the manner according to the invention, conventional fuels can be added, the driver being provided with new fuels with the properties of conformity to standards, environmental friendliness, availability of the components, usability of the existing distribution system, usability in conventional engines and motor vehicles, technically problem-free production and mixing of the fuel according to the invention, admixture with all fuels available on the market according to standards and perfect miscibility without risk of phase separation.
Die vorliegende Erfindung ist von großer Bedeutung im Hinblick auf die Verminderung der Abhängigkeit von importiertem Mineralöl, da sie es erstmalig ermöglicht, auch mit relativ geringem Energieaufwand gewinnbaren Brennalkohol (Bioalkohol) in Kraftstoffen einzusetzen. Die umfangreichen Untersuchungen der Anmelderin haben im Gegensatz zum Vorurteil der Fachwelt gezeigt, daß die in diesem Alkohol enthaltenen Verunreinigungen weder Schäden an Kraftfahrzeugteilen noch verstärkte Umweltbelastung hervorrufen.The present invention is of great importance with regard to reducing the dependency on imported mineral oil, since it makes it possible for the first time to use fuel alcohol (bioalcohol) which can be obtained in fuels even with relatively little energy expenditure. Contrary to the prejudice of experts, the extensive investigations by the applicant have shown that the contaminants contained in this alcohol cause neither damage to motor vehicle parts nor increased environmental pollution.
