Description
Title: A fuel composition.
The present invention relates to a fuel composition, a method of operating an engine with a fuel composition and to an engine operated with a fuel composition, as well as to a 5 method for the preparation of a fuel composition.
US 2001/0232165 relates to a fuel that can be used as a replacement for conventional fossil-based fuels. The composition disclosed therein comprises mid flash point to low flashpoint naphtha; at least one alcohol having a ratio of between about 1 to about 4 carbon atoms to 1 hydroxyl functional group (-OH); at least one lubricating oil; and at least one oxygenated natural 10 aromatic compound. Examples of the oxygenated natural aromatic compound are methyl salicylate, eugenol, salicylic acid, cinnamaldehyde, thymol, benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, eugenol and their synthetic or natural analogues and derivatives. The amount of alcohol in the fuel is 10 -45 %.
US 2004/0088909 relates to a method for increasing combustion in an internal 15 combustion engine of a fuel to water and carbon dioxide, and reducing particulates from the combustion, which comprises: providing a composition which comprises: a liquid hydrocarbon as the fuel and between 0.1 and 30 percent by weight of diethyl succinate as a primary organic oxygenation source to run the engine so as to increase the combustion and reduce the particulates from the combustion.
20 US Patent No. 4,378,973 relates to a hydrocarbon base diesel fuel composition containing a minor, particulate-reducing amount of an additive consisting of a mixture of cyclohexane and an oxygenated compound which readily gives up oxygen during diesel engine combustion conditions. Examples of oxygenated compounds are aldehydes and ketones having from 3 to 16 carbon atoms such as acetone, isobutyl heptyl ketone, propionaldehyde, ethers 25 and cycloethers containing from 2 to 16 carbon atoms such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-butylene oxide and dimethyl ether, alcohols containing from 2 to 26 carbon atoms such as ethanol and 2-ethylhexanol.
US 2004/0128905 relates to a diesel base fuel that can be blended with certain combinations of fuel components to achieve an overall fuel composition having not only a 30 neutral or close to neutral density compared to the base fuel alone, but also neutral or close to neutral elastomer swell effects and/or neutral or better emissions (in particular NOx and/or particulate emissions) performance, said fuel composition comprising (i) a base fuel, (ii) a Fischer-Tropsch derived gas oil and (iii) an oxygenate. The oxygenate is an oxygen containing compound, preferably containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and may be a compound 2 containing one or more hydroxyl groups -OH, and/or one or more carbonyl groups C-O, and/or one or more ether groups -0-, and/or one or more ester groups -0(0)0-, containing from 1 to 18 carbon atoms. The Fischer-Tropsch derived component (ii) will be present at from 5 to 40% v/v of the overall composition and the oxygenate (iii) will be present at from 0.1 to 30% v/v of the 5 overall composition.
The present inventors found that a high amount of C1-C4 alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, butanol) in a fuel composition has an adverse impact on the performance of the fuel, especially regarding the caloric value.
The object of the present invention is to provide a fuel composition in which the caloric 10 value meets the industrial standards.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a fuel composition in which compounds of natural origin can be blended without deteriorating the combustion properties.
The present invention relates to a fuel composition comprising i) a base fuel, ii) a C1-C4 alcohol or mixtures thereof, and iii) an oxygenate, wherein the iii) oxygenate is preferably a 15 natural oxygenate.
In an embodiment of the present invention the iii) oxygenate is chosen from the group of essential oils and derivatives of essential oils. An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils or aetherolea, or simply as the "oil of' the plant from which they were 20 extracted, such as oil of clove. An oil is "essential" in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence, of the plant. Essential oils do not form a distinctive category for any medical, pharmacological, or culinary purpose.
Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation. Other processes include expression, or solvent extraction. They are used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and other products, for 25 flavoring food and drink, and for adding scents to incense household cleaning products.
In an embodiment according to the present invention the iii) oxygenate has a minimum higher heating value of 30 MJ/liter (MJ/I). The term “higher heating value” means here a value measured according to ASTM D 240 and is expressed in MJ/I. Such a higher heating value will have a positive influence on the distance that can be traveled in a vehicle on one liter of fuel, 30 when compared to C1-C4 alcohols.
The i) base fuel according to the present invention is chosen from the group of diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, gasoline, bunker fuel, synthetic or Fischer-Tropsch fuels, vegetable oils (including from algae) or esterified derivatives thereof, and mixtures thereof.
In the present invention the composition of the fuel composition is preferably as follows: 3 i) base fuel being present in amount of 70 vol.% or higher, based on the final fuel composition, ii) C1-C4 alcohols or mixtures thereof being present in amount of 9.9 vol.% or less, based on the final fuel composition, 5 iii) oxygenate being present in amount of 2 - 30 vol. %, based on the final fuel composition.
Examples of preferred oxygenates are cyclic essential oils or cyclic components or cyclic derivatives thereof, especially orange oil, guaiac wood oil, cinnamon oil, anise oil, anisole, cinnamaldehyde, benzaldehyde, benzylalcohol, guaiacol, phenethylalcohol, acetophenone, or the mixtures thereof. In an embodiment of mixtures of pure essential oils, at least 50 vol.% of 10 the compounds must be of cyclic character, based on the final fuel composition.
The present invention furthermore relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine with a fuel composition wherein said engine is operated with the present fuel composition as discussed before.
In addition, the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a fuel 15 composition, wherein said method comprises blending a base fuel, comprising a C1-C4 alcohol or mixtures thereof, with an oxygenate, especially said oxygenate is chosen from the group of essential oils and derivatives of essential oils, as discussed before.
The present invention will be further understood from the following examples, which illustrate the effects of blending a base fuel with an oxygenate, especially said oxygenate is 20 chosen from the group of essential oils and derivatives of essential oils, on the properties and engine performance of the resultant fuel composition as compared to those of the base fuel alone.
The sole Figure is a graph showing soot (expressed in Filter Smoke Number(FSN)) and Nox (expressed in g/kWh) emissions.
25 Example 1
The Higher Heating Values (H.H.V.) of a number of neat aroma compounds, ethanol and gasoline have been measured according to ASTM D 240 (Table 1).
The Research Octane Number (R.O.N.) of a number of aroma compounds and ethanol in a 10 vol.-% solution in gasoline have been measured according to ASTM D2699 (Table 1).
30 All aroma compounds have a higher H.H.V. than gasoline and a significantly higher value than ethanol (at least 37% higher). When added to gasoline, all studied aroma compounds and ethanol, increased the R.O.N. of the resulting blend.

Table 1.
Name CAS no. H.H.V. [MJ/I] R.O.N. of 10 vol.-% of neat compound in compound gasoline
Anisole 100-66-3 34.8 97.4
Benzaldehyde 100-52-7 34.6 98.5
Benzylalcohol 100-51-6 36.1 96.9
Phenethylethanol 60-12-8 36.5 96.9
Acetophenone 98-86-2 35.5 96.1
Cinnamaldehyde 104-55-2 36.9 96.3
Ethanol 64-17-5 23.4 98.3
Gasoline - 33.1 95.0 (reference) 5
Example 2
The Figure shows the soot (expressed in Filter Smoke Number) and NOx (expressed in g/kWh) emissions of a heavy-duty diesel engine operating at a load close to that of highway 10 cruising for various fuel injection timings (SOI).
From the Figure it is clear that when three specific oxygenates according to the present invention are added to diesel fuel at concentration of around 15 vol.-% (dissolved in the base diesel fuel), each results in a considerably more favorable soot-NOx trade-off than is the case for the base diesel fuel.
