Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel fuel compositions which comprise novel surfactant compositions and to methods of preparation the fuels compositions and surfactants.
  • WO '745 especially describes fuel compositions comprising, inter alia, an additive made up of a fatty acid diethanolamide, an alcohol ethoxylate and an ethoxylate of a fatty acid, the degree of ethoxylation being selected so that a long term stable fuel composition is formed.
  • WO '745 teaches the use of lauric acid and lauric diethanolamide.
  • Co-pending International Patent Application No WO 99/20715 to Pure Energy Corporation describes similar surfactant compositions in which the fatty acid used has a hydrocarbon chain length of from C 9 to C 15 .
  • US Patent No 6,017,369 describes a diesel fuel composition comprising, inter alia , diesel, ethanol and a fatty acid having a carbon chain length of from C 9 to C 15 .
  • lauric acid has a relatively high melting point of between 44 and 46°C.
  • lauric acid is waxy and difficult to formulate.
  • a fuel additive composition comprising an alkanolamide, an alkoxylated alcohol and an alkoxylated oleic acid or a derivative thereof in which the degree of alkoxylation of the oleic acid is from 0.5 to 5 mols of alkoxylate to 1 mol of oleic acid.
  • the alkanolamide is preferably an ethanolamide and more preferably a diethanolamide.
  • the diethanolamides and particularly the super diethanolamides are especially preferred.
  • super diethanolamide we mean a diethanolamide in which the nitrogen is substituted by an acyl substituent e.g. acyl C 5 to C 20 , preferably C 8 to C 18 , more preferably C 10 to C 18 .
  • the most preferred diethanolamide has a C 18 acyl substituent i.e. oleic diethanolamide.
  • the route via the acid often uses an excess of alkanolamine to produce a product higher in amide than is obtainable from the acid if a stoichiometric ratio is used; these products are sometimes referred to as Kritchevsky amides.
  • the products derived from reaction of substantially stoichiometric proportions of an alkanolamide with a fatty acid ester, typically a methyl or glyceryl ester, are referred to as super amides.
  • the alkoxylated alcohol is preferably an ethoxylated alcohol. It is essential that the ethoxylated alcohol is an oil soluble alcohol. Therefore, alkanols are preferred and these may be primary, secondary or tertiary alkanols and especially primary alkanols. As the oil solubility of the alcohol may vary with the carbon chain length of the ethoxylated alkanol, the alkanol is preferably a C 5 to C 22 alkanol, more preferably C 5 to C 15 alkanol.
  • the ethoxylated alcohol may comprise a mixture of alkanols. However, it is preferred that in such mixtures one alkanol will predominate.

It is preferred that the ethoxylate to alcohol ratio is greater than 2. More preferably, the ethoxylate to alcohol ratio is from between 1 and 10, preferably between 1 and 5, more preferably between 1 and 3 and especially between 2 and 3.

  • the degree of alkoxylation e.g., ethoxylation, propyloxylation or a mixture thereof, is chosen to optimise performance in the blend with the other two selected surfactants and may be from 0.5 to 5 but more preferably from 0.5 to 2.5. It is especially preferred that the alkoxylation comprises ethoxylation.
  • a suitable product within this range would be, for example that derived from the addition of 1 mol of ethylene oxide to 1 mol of oleic acid, or a derivative thereof.
  • the oleic acid ethoxylate may be derived form a variety of feedstocks, readily available worldwide.
  • the oleic acid ethoxylate may be produced by ethoxylation or esterification of acids derived from animal fats e.g. beef tallow or vegetable oils, such as soya, etc.
  • the oleic acid precursor may be predominantly, e.g. from 65-70% v/v, oleic acid, but may also contain linoleic acid, e.g., 10-12% v/v, and may also include small amounts of stearic, palmitic and/or myristic acids.
  • the ratio of the oleic acid alkoxylate to the oleic alkanolamide may vary slightly, but is preferably 1:1v/v.

  • hydrocarbon fuel e.g. diesel, petrol or alcohol, such as ethanol, which may or may not contain water.
  • the invention is seen to particularly good effect when added to fuels based on low fraction oils.
  • the values will depend on the length of the hydrophilic chain, typically an ethoxylate chain.
  • the length of the chain will increase the extent of solubilisation because of a greater ability to solubilise.
  • compositions described in WO98/17745 a blend of surfactants is preferred, preferably by selecting one appropriate to the fuel.
  • the invention has the ability to unify the HLB requirements of any liquid fuel which in turn allows for one dose to be used in any fuel from C5 carbon chains up.
  • the benefit being the amount of treatment directly related to the co-solvency ability.
  • the ethoxylate of the oleic acid makes up about 25% by volume of the additive and further preferably the alcohol ethoxylate comprises 50% by volume of the additive.
  • An additive of the invention may be added to a hydrocarbon fuel, eg diesel, petrol or alcohol, such as ethanol which may or may not be contaminated with water.
  • a hydrocarbon fuel eg diesel, petrol or alcohol, such as ethanol which may or may not be contaminated with water.
  • the hydrocarbon fuel may be a blend of a petroleum based fuel such as diesel or petrol, with an alcohol such as ethanol.

  • the amount of alcohol may vary depending, inter alia, upon the nature of the fuel, but may in an amount of from 1 to 50% v/v, preferably 5 to 20% v/v.
  • ethanol may be produced from fossil fuel feedstocks or by fermentation of sugars derived from grains or other biomass materials. Therefore, ethanol suitable for use in accordance with the fuel compositions of the invention may be fuel grade ethanol derived from yeast or bacterial fermentation of starch-based sugars. Such starch-based sugars may be extracted from corn, sugarcane, tapioca and sugar beet. Alternatively, fuel grade ethanol may be produced via known dilute and/or concentrated acid and/or enzymatic hydrolysis of a particular biomass material, for example, from waste industrial sources including, cellulosic portions of municipal solid waste, waste paper, paper sludge, saw dust.

  • a suitable fuel grade ethanol for use in accordance with the invention may contain higher amounts of water, up to 5% w/w (hydrous ethanol).
  • ethanol in combination with a diesel fuel has previously posed problems wherein the ethanol/diesel fuel mixture would undesirably separate into two distinct phases, especially when water is present, and render the resultant mixture unsuitable for use as a combustible fuel.

  • a hydraulic dynamometer by Zollner and a "PUMA Test Assistant" control system by AVL were used for running and controlling the test engine. Regulated gaseous emissions were measured with analysis system by BOO Instrument AB. Particulates were collected using AVL Mini Dilution Tunnel 474.
