The most common method used to produce gasoline blends that meet these standards is to adjust the petroleum refining process to produce a compliant fuel base. However, this method has several disadvantages, including the high cost of re-refining process, the possible adverse effects on the quality and quality of other refined products, and the limitation of process flexibility for the manufacture of the aforementioned fuel base. Like gasoline, diesel may also be subject to certain circumstances. Unless poor quality diesel meets this standard, will it not be available for sale. This is also typically achieved by adjusting the refining process, but it also has the same problems and disadvantages as the petroleum refining process that raises the fuel base. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Traditionally used to produce high quality diesel with acceptable cetane number has several major disadvantages. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a preparation method that can improve diesel oil and is no longer plagued by these disadvantages. Here is provided a diesel fuel additive and diesel fuel method containing β-carotene, which is performed in a general environment without the necessity of circulating in an inert gas as in the prior art. The diesel additive provided here can be combined with conventional diesel to produce a diesel with an improved sixteen burning value.

Those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the following preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Additive formulations that improve cetane number The additive formulations that reduce emissions include two components: β-carotene or a suitable substitute as described below; -1,2-Dihydroline or a suitable substitute as described below. In a preferred embodiment, the additive formulation further comprises a conventional sixteen calorific value modifier, such as 2-ethylhexyl nitrate, which can be used as a selective additive. Basically, almost all uses of petrochemical energy involve combustion, that is, combining fuel with oxygen in the air and releasing thermal energy through oxidation. When the fuel and oxygen are heated to a sufficiently high temperature, they will react so that they can overcome the cetane threshold energy level. This "energy threshold" is also called "Arrhenius Activation Energy", which is related to temperature. The higher the temperature, the lower the energy required to overcome the activation energy. The activation energy can also be reduced by other means, for example, using a catalyst. The additives and catalysts used in the preferred embodiments are different because it is generally believed that in addition to reducing the activation energy, the additives will also be consumed in the reaction. In contrast, the catalyst promotes the reaction by reducing the activation energy, but its 200406486

本身卻不會在反應過程中(即,燃燒)被消耗。在不受限於 任一理論之下,一般相信,較佳實施例配方中的活性材料 (其典型係衍生自植物和其他可再生的生物可分解材料來 源),可在到達燃燒溫度前減弱長鏈碳氫化物的鍵結力。 添加劑也會和燃料-空氣混合物中的氧氣結合,因此可促 進分子層次以下的氧氣與碳氫化物彼此更靠近。混合度的 改善及較低的活化能可使燃燒更完全,並降低不欲求副產 物(例如,一氧化破及排放的碳氫化物)的生成量,同時並 可改善整體燃燒效率。通過一更平整火焰前之一較低的燃 燒溫度一般也會生成較低的氧化氮(NOx)排放物。因早期 (1920年代,Charles F Kettering等人)對四乙基船及其他 抗爆震添加劑的研究,一般均認為少量的添加劑可能對一 内部燃燒引擎汽缸内的火焰前端有重大影響。It is not itself consumed during the reaction (ie, burning). Without being limited to any theory, it is generally believed that the active material in the formulation of the preferred embodiment (which is typically derived from plants and other renewable biodegradable material sources) can weaken the length before reaching the burning temperature Chain hydrocarbon bonding force. Additives also bind to oxygen in the fuel-air mixture, which promotes oxygen and hydrocarbons closer to each other below the molecular level. Improved mixing and lower activation energy enable more complete combustion and reduce the amount of unwanted by-products (such as monoxide breakdown and emissions of hydrocarbons), while improving overall combustion efficiency. Passing a lower combustion temperature before a flatter flame generally also results in lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. In the early (1920s, Charles F Kettering et al.) Research on tetraethyl boats and other anti-knock additives, it was generally believed that small amounts of additives may have a significant impact on the flame front end in an internal combustion engine cylinder.

雖然一般相信較佳實施例配方中的某些組成在燃燒過 程中會和氧氣結合,但一般情況並不會將其視為「充氧 劑」,此名詞一般係用於以碳氫化物為底之燃料配方中。「充 氧劑」,例如叔丁甲醚(MTBE)及乙醇,均係為分子鏈中含 有氧的化合物。當燃料和空氣在有充氧劑(例如,MTBE) 存在下被加熱,該充氧劑在點燃時會分解並釋出自由基。 該釋出的自由基可加速碳氫化物鏈的斷裂,並促進燃燒。 因充氧劑只在達到點燃溫度時會釋出其中的自由基.,且因 其會抑制火焰前端之前位置的燃燒,因此,其一般也可作 為辛烧值促進劑(octane enhancer)。當燃料與空氣係在有 較佳實施例配方存在的情況下被加熱,配方中的組成係有 12 200406486 助於削弱碳氫化物結構及捕捉氧氣。燃燒劑愈接近愈能降 低活化能並加速燃燒。較佳實施例配方亦可使火焰前端燃 燒更平順’並提供較均勻的熱分散、較佳的燃燒化學計量 (空氟對燃料比例)並創造出一能量差異,以幫助防止碳的 堆積。充氧劑的作用可類比為「推擠」氧氣進入燃燒反應, 因其係將氧氣自原來安定的結構中釋出;至於較佳實施例 配方則可視為將氧氣自燃料-空氣混合物中「拉出來」,並 使其進入燃燒過程中。Although it is generally believed that certain components in the formulation of the preferred embodiment will be combined with oxygen during the combustion process, it is generally not regarded as an "oxygenating agent". This term is generally used for hydrocarbon-based Fuel formula. "Oxygenating agents", such as tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE) and ethanol, are all compounds containing oxygen in the molecular chain. When fuel and air are heated in the presence of an oxygenating agent (for example, MTBE), the oxygenating agent will decompose and release free radicals when ignited. The released free radicals can accelerate the cleavage of the hydrocarbon chains and promote combustion. Oxygenating agents release free radicals only when they reach the ignition temperature, and because they suppress combustion in front of the flame front, they can also be used as octane enhancers. When the fuel and air system is heated in the presence of the preferred embodiment formulation, the composition in the formulation is 12 200406486 to help weaken the hydrocarbon structure and capture oxygen. The closer the combustion agent is, the lower the activation energy and accelerated combustion. The formulation of the preferred embodiment can also make the flame front-end burning smoother and provide more uniform thermal dispersion, better combustion stoichiometry (air-to-fluorine to fuel ratio) and create an energy difference to help prevent carbon buildup. The role of oxygenators can be analogized as "pushing" oxygen into the combustion reaction, because it releases oxygen from the original stable structure; as for the formula of the preferred embodiment, it can be considered as "pulling" oxygen from the fuel-air mixture Come out "and let it enter the combustion process.

不受限於任一理論,一般相信内含碳氫化物長鏈的化 合物(主要為含有5、6或7個碳原子之碳氫化物鏈,較佳 是含有8或9個奴原子之碳氫化物鏈,更佳是含有1 〇、1 1、Without being limited to any theory, it is generally believed that compounds containing long hydrocarbon chains (mainly hydrocarbon chains containing 5, 6, or 7 carbon atoms, preferably hydrocarbons containing 8 or 9 slave atoms) Chain, more preferably contains 10, 1 1,

一般最常用的技術為以己烷自種子中萃取其油性組 成。其係為一種相當有效率的方法,幾乎可將植物原料中 的所有油性組成均萃取出來。在一典型的己烷萃取中,該 植物材料係被磨成細顆粒。草及葉類植物則係先切成小 塊,至於種子則是先將其研磨成細粉或細顆粒。該植物原 料一般係暴露於高溫己烷中。己烷為一種可溶解油性組成 之極易著火的無色、揮發性溶劑,一般經己烧萃取後,只 有極少百分比的油性組成仍會殘留於植物原料中。該油性 /溶劑混合物被加熱至己烷的揮發點 2 1 2 °F,之後蒸餾去 除所有的己烷。或者,亦可於減壓情況下去除己烷。所得 的油性組成適於用在較佳實施例之配方中。 用於食品或化妝品之植物的油性萃出物一般需再經過 一些額外的操作步驟,藉以去除可能影響其外觀、保存期 限、風味等之雜質。這些雜質可能包括磷脂類、黏液性黏 膠、自由脂肪酸、色素、及植物細顆粒。可使用不同方法 來去除這些雜質,例如水沉澱法或有機酸溶液沉澱法。典 型係藉漂白來去除有色化合物,其係將油通過一諸如原子 32 200406486 黏土之類的吸附劑來達成。也可以蒸氣蒸餾來達成脫色目 的。一般並不需要執行這類額外的步驟,但是,經過這種 方式處理的油亦很適合用於較佳實施例之配方中。 其他較佳的萃取方法包括(但不限於)超臨界流體萃取 法,特別係指二氧化碳。諸如氦氣、氬氣、氙氣及氮氣亦 可作為溶劑而用於超臨界流體萃取法中。 其他可用來獲得欲求之油性萃出物的方法包括(但不 限於)機械性壓榨法(mechanical pressing)。機械性壓榨法 一般又稱為擠出壓榨法(expeller pressing),其係藉由連 續驅動可將種子或其他含油材料壓碎成漿的螺旋狀物將原 料壓成泥並自其中壓榨出油來。在此過程中所產生的磨擦 會使溫度升高至約5 0 °C至9 0 °C間,或是可將外面的熱直 接加於其上。冷壓榨一般係指在40 °C或40 °C以下溫度執 行且無須再自外引入熱源的機械性壓榨法。 自一植物性原料所獲得的油性萃出物產率視許多因素 而定,但主要係視該植物'原料的含油量多寡而定。舉例來 說,油性灌木叢之含油量典型約介於4%至 5%(以己烷萃 取之乾重為準),至於大麥的含油量典型約介於 6 %至 7.5 %,至於苜蓿則約為2至4.2 5 %。 熱安定劑 在一較佳實施例中,配方也含有油采油(jojoba oil)作 為其額外組成,該配方係為一種具抗氧化作用的液體並能 承受高溫且不喪失其抗氧化效用。油采油乃是一種液態臘 酯混合物,萃取自原生於亞利桑那州、加州及北墨西哥之 33 200406486 灌木壓碎後的種子中。油采油的來源為西夢沙中國灌木 (Simmondsia Chinese shrub),一般熟稱為油采植物(j〇j〇ba plant)。其為常綠灌木,有類似皮革之厚重的藍綠色葉片 及深棕色堅果似的果實’油采油澄清且呈金黃色,並幾乎 το全由單不飽和直鏈脂肪酸及高分子量(c丨6 _ c 2 6)醇類的 臘酯所組成。油采油典型係定義為具一般RC〇〇R”通式的 液態臘酉旨,其中RCO代表油酸(C18)、二十碳酸(C2〇)和/ 或芥酸(C22) ’且其中-or”代表二十碳烯醇(c2〇)、二十二 碳烯醇(C22)和/或二十四碳烯醇(C24)基團。油菜油具 RCOOR”通式的酯類或酯類混合物,其中r係為c2〇_⑶ 烷(稀)基,且其中尺”為C20_C22烷(稀)基,其可能部分或 全部具有取代基。包括軍χ奶 早不飽和直鏈烯基團的脂肪酸類及 醇類是最佳的選擇。 雖然在許多實施例中輕祛在始/ 平又1土鈿抓用油米油,但在其他實 施例中可能較佳係部分或全 八 飞王以另一組成來取代油采油, 包括(但不限於)習知具執 …、女疋性的油類,例如花生油、 花籽油、葡萄仔油、馬卡達 連姆 L 果油(macadamia oil)、赂 梨油、棕櫚油、棕櫚果實油 R φ 篦麻油(castor oil)、所有盆 他政菜油及堅果油、所有 八 吓百動物性油脂(包括諸如鯨魚油 類的哺乳動物油脂及魚油) )汉旲之組合。在較佳實施例 該油可能被烷氧化,例如 T乳基化或乙氧基化。烷氧 好是在鏈長度中等的油中 ^ 較 進仃,例如說麻油、馬卡達姆堅 果油、棉花籽油等類似物# 燒虱化可能可提供油/水混人 物在燃料中的耦合反應," ° 降低氮巩化物量和/或關於燃 34 200406486 燃燒後一些廢氣排放上的優點。 在一較佳實施例中,這些其他油係以1 : 1的體積比 來部分或完全取代油采油。在其他實施例中,可能較佳係 以高於或低於1 : 1的體積比例來取代油采油。在一較佳 實施例中,純棉花籽油或萃取自棉花籽之棉花籽油或來自 壓碎的棉花軒之棉花軒油、魚鲛油格(s q u a 1 e n e )、或魚絞 油(s q u a 1 a n e)係以1 ·· 1的體積比例來部分或完全取代油采 油。 雖然在較佳實施例的許多配方中最好是使用油采油, 但是在某些特定實施例中,較佳係使用一或多種不同的熱 安定劑來部分或全部取代油采油。習知適當的熱安定劑包 括烷基苯酚類的液態混合物,包括2 -叔-丁基苯酚、2,6 -二-叔-丁基苯酚、2-叔,丁基-4-正-丁基苯酚、2,4,6 -三-叔-丁基苯酚、及2,6 -二-叔-丁基-4 -正丁基苯酚,其係適合作 為中段餾出燃料(如授予Hanlon等人之美國專利第 5,076,8 1 4號及美國專利第5,024,775號)之安定劑。其他 商業上有銷售的大型苯酚類抗氧化劑也表現出熱安定劑的 效果,包括2,6-二-叔-丁基-4-曱基苯酚、2,6-二-叔-丁基 苯酚、2,2,-曱叉-雙(6-叔-丁基-4 -甲基苯酚)、3-(3,5_二-叔-丁基《4-羥基苯基)丙酸正-十八烷酯、1,1,3-三(3-叔-丁 基-6-甲基-4-羥基苯基)丁烷、四[3-(3,5-二-叔-丁基-4-羥 基苯基)丙酸]異戊四酯、(3,5-二-叔-丁基-4-羥基苯曱基) 石舞酸二-正-十八烧S旨、2,4,6-三-(3,5 -二-叔-丁基- 4- ¾基本 35 200406486 曱基)均三曱苯及三- (3,5-二-叔-丁基-4-羥基苯曱基)異氰 尿酯(如美國專利第4,007,157號及美國專利第3,920,66 1 號)。 其他熱安定劑包括··衍生自異戊四醇之異戊四醇共酯 化合物、(3-烷基-4-羥基苯基)-烷醇酸類及烷基硫代烷醇 酸或這類酸類化合物的低碳數烷酯,其均可作為一般容易 氧化和/或熱分解之有機材料的安定劑。(如授予 Dunski 等人之美國專利第 4,806,675號及美國專利第 4,734,519 號)。丙二酸的反應產物、十二烷基醛及動物性脂胺(如授 予Nelson等人之美國專利第4,670,02 1號);大型磷酸苯 酯(如授予 Spivack之美國專利第 4,2〇7,229號);大型 piperidine魏酸及其之金屬鹽(如授予 Ramey等人之美國 專利第4,191,829號及美國專利第4,191,682號);2,6-二 羥基-9-偶氮雙環[3.3.1]壬烷之丙烯化衍生物(如授予 Stephen之美國專利第4,000,1 1 3號);雙環大型胺(如授予 Ramey等人之美國專利第3,9 9 1,0 1 2號);二烷基-4-羥基 苯基三p丫漆之含硫衍生物(如授予Dexter等人之美國專利 第3,941,7 45號);雙環大型氨基酸及其之金屬鹽(如授予 Ramey等人之美國專利第4,051,102號);丙二酸羥苯曱 酯之三烷基取代物(如授予 Spivack 之美國專利第 4,081,475號);大型略°定魏酸及其之金屬鹽(如授予Ramey 等人之美國專利第4,089,842號);毗咯烷二羧酸及其之 酯類(如授予Stephen之美國專利第4,077,94 1號);N,N-雙取代之丙氨酸的金屬鹽類(美國專利第3,524,909 36 200406486 號);氫化碳基硫代烯亞磷酸鹽(美國專利第 3,5 2 4,9 0 9 號);羥苄基硫代烯亞磷酸鹽(美國專利第3,6 5 5,8 3 3號)。The most commonly used technique is to extract the oily components of the seed with hexane. It is a fairly efficient method for extracting almost all oily components from plant materials. In a typical hexane extraction, the plant material is ground into fine particles. Grass and leaf plants are first cut into small pieces, while seeds are first ground into fine powder or fine particles. The plant material is generally exposed to high temperature hexane. Hexane is a colorless, volatile solvent that easily dissolves oily components and is liable to ignite. Generally, only a small percentage of oily components will remain in plant materials after extraction by hexane. The oily / solvent mixture was heated to a volatility point of hexane 2 1 2 ° F, after which all hexane was distilled off. Alternatively, hexane may be removed under reduced pressure. The resulting oily composition is suitable for use in the formulation of the preferred embodiment. Oily extracts of plants used in food or cosmetics generally need to go through some additional steps to remove impurities that may affect its appearance, shelf life, flavor, etc. These impurities may include phospholipids, mucus adhesives, free fatty acids, pigments, and plant fine particles. Various methods can be used to remove these impurities, such as water precipitation or organic acid solution precipitation. Typically, bleaching is used to remove colored compounds, which is achieved by passing the oil through an adsorbent such as atom 32 200406486 clay. Decolorization can also be achieved by steam distillation. Such additional steps are generally not required, but oils treated in this manner are also suitable for use in the formulation of the preferred embodiment. Other preferred extraction methods include, but are not limited to, supercritical fluid extraction, particularly carbon dioxide. Materials such as helium, argon, xenon and nitrogen can also be used as solvents in supercritical fluid extraction. Other methods that can be used to obtain the desired oily extract include, but are not limited to, mechanical pressing. The mechanical pressing method is also commonly known as the expeller pressing method. It is a continuous spiral drive that can crush seeds or other oil-containing materials into a pulp to squeeze the raw materials into mud and squeeze oil out of them. . The friction generated during this process can increase the temperature to approximately 50 ° C to 90 ° C, or external heat can be applied directly to it. Cold pressing generally refers to a mechanical pressing method that is performed at a temperature of 40 ° C or below and does not require the introduction of a heat source from outside. The yield of oily extracts obtained from a plant-based material depends on many factors, but mainly depends on the oil content of the plant 'material. For example, the oil content of oily bushes is typically between 4% and 5% (based on the dry weight of hexane extraction), while the oil content of barley is typically between 6% and 7.5%, and for alfalfa it is about From 2 to 4.2 5%. Heat stabilizers In a preferred embodiment, the formula also contains jojoba oil as an additional component. The formula is an anti-oxidant liquid and can withstand high temperatures without losing its antioxidant effect. Oil recovery is a liquid wax ester mixture extracted from crushed seeds native to Arizona, California, and Northern Mexico 33 200406486. The source of oil recovery is Simmondsia Chinese shrub, which is commonly known as the j0joba plant. It is an evergreen shrub with thick blue-green leaves similar to leather and dark brown nut-like fruits. 'Oil extraction is clear and golden-yellow, and is almost completely composed of monounsaturated linear fatty acids and high molecular weight (c 丨 6 _ c 2 6) Alcoholic wax ester. Oil recovery is typically defined as a liquid wax with the general formula RC〇OR, where RCO stands for oleic acid (C18), eicosanoic acid (C2〇), and / or erucic acid (C22) 'and where -or "" Represents an eicosenol (c20), docosaenol (C22) and / or tetracosenol (C24) group. Oilseed rape with RCOOR "esters or ester mixtures, in which r is a c2__alkane (diluted) group, and where" rule "is a C20_C22 alkyl (diluted) group, which may have some or all substituents. Fatty acids and alcohols including early unsaturated linear olefinic groups are the best choices. Although in many embodiments light oil is used at the beginning / level and 1 soil grab, in other embodiments it may be better to replace some or all of the eight feifeiwang with another composition, including (but Not limited to) stubborn oils such as peanut oil, flower seed oil, grape seed oil, macadamia oil, macadamia oil, palm oil, palm fruit oil A combination of R φ castor oil, all pot vegetable oil and nut oil, all eight animal fats (including mammalian fats such as whale oil and fish oil)). In a preferred embodiment the oil may be alkoxylated, such as T-lactated or ethoxylated. Alkoxy is better in oils with medium chain length ^, such as sesame oil, macadamia oil, cottonseed oil, etc. # Burning lice may provide oil / water mixed characters in fuel coupling Reactions, " ° Reduction in the amount of nitrogen sulphides and / or advantages on some exhaust emissions after combustion 34 200406486. In a preferred embodiment, these other oils partially or completely replace oil recovery with a volume ratio of 1: 1. In other embodiments, it may be preferable to replace oil recovery with a volume ratio higher or lower than 1: 1. In a preferred embodiment, pure cottonseed oil or cottonseed oil extracted from cottonseed or cottonseed oil from crushed cotton vinegar, squa ene, or fish sesame oil (squa 1 ane) partly or completely replaces oil recovery with a volume ratio of 1 ·· 1. Although oil recovery is preferred in many formulations of the preferred embodiment, in some specific embodiments, it is preferred to use one or more different thermal stabilizers to partially or fully replace the oil recovery. Conventional suitable thermal stabilizers include liquid mixtures of alkylphenols, including 2-tert-butylphenol, 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, 2-tert, butyl-4-n-butyl Phenol, 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol, and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-n-butylphenol are suitable as middle distillate fuels (such as those awarded to Hanlon et al. US Patent No. 5,076,8 1 4 and US Patent No. 5,024,775). Other commercially available large phenolic antioxidants also exhibit the effects of thermal stabilizers, including 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-fluorenylphenol, 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, 2,2, -Hydroxyidene-bis (6-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol), 3- (3,5_di-tert-butyl "4-hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid Alkyl esters, 1,1,3-tris (3-tert-butyl-6-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) butane, tetra [3- (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4- Hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid] isopentyl ester, (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylfluorenyl) di-n-octadecyl sulphate, 2,4,6- Tris- (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4- ¾ Basic 35 200406486 fluorenyl) tris (trimethyl) benzene and tri- (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylfluorenyl) iso Cyanurate (such as U.S. Patent No. 4,007,157 and U.S. Patent No. 3,920,66 1). Other heat stabilizers include isoprene tetraol co-ester compounds derived from isoprene tetraol, (3-alkyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) -alkanol acids and alkylthioalkanoates or such acids The low-carbon alkyl esters of the compounds can be used as stabilizers for organic materials that are generally susceptible to oxidation and / or thermal decomposition.

某些化合物係可作為抗氧化劑及熱安定劑。因此,在 某些實施例中,較佳係製備一含有疏水性植物之油性萃出 物與一可同時提供熱安定性及抗氧化效果之單獨化合物作 為額外組成的配方,而非製備一含有疏水性植物之油性萃 出物與另兩種組成(一組成提供熱安定性,另一組成則提 供抗氧化效果)的配方。習知之可同時某種程度之熱安定 性及抗氧化效果的化合物例子包括有或無取代基之下列胺 類:二苯胺、二蕃胺、及苯蕃胺,例如,N,N’-二苯基苯 二胺、對-辛基二苯胺、對,對-二辛基二苯胺、N-苯基-1-蓁 胺、二-1-蓁胺、N-苯基-2-蓁胺、N-(對-十二烷基)苯基-2-蓁胺、二-2 -蒸胺;諸如N -烷基苯並噱嗪之類的苯並噻嗪; 亞胺(雙芊基);諸如 6 -(叔-丁基)苯酚、2,6 -二-(叔-丁基) 苯酚、4 -曱基-2,6 -二-(叔-丁基)苯酚、4,4、亞曱雙(-2,6-二-(叔-丁基)苯酚)等類似物。Certain compounds are used as antioxidants and heat stabilizers. Therefore, in some embodiments, it is preferable to prepare an oily extract containing a hydrophobic plant and a separate compound that can provide both thermal stability and antioxidant effects as an additional composition, rather than preparing a formulation containing a hydrophobic Oily extracts of sexual plants and two other compositions (one composition provides thermal stability and the other composition provides antioxidant effects). Examples of conventional compounds which may have some degree of thermal stability and antioxidant effects include the following amines with or without substituents: diphenylamine, dibenzylamine, and benzophenamine, such as N, N'-diphenyl P-phenylenediamine, p-octyl diphenylamine, p-p-dioctyl diphenylamine, N-phenyl-1-fluorenamine, di-1-fluorenamine, N-phenyl-2-fluorenamine, N -(P-dodecyl) phenyl-2-fluorenamine, di-2 -diamine; benzothiazines such as N-alkylbenzoxazine; imines (bisfluorenyl); such as 6- (tert-butyl) phenol, 2,6-di- (tert-butyl) phenol, 4-fluorenyl-2,6-di- (tert-butyl) phenol, 4,4, fluorenylbis (-2,6-di- (t-butyl) phenol) and the like.

Such lubricating base oils may ensure the thermal stability of the formulation in the preferred embodiment. Such lubricating base oils may be used to partially or completely replace oil recovery. Appropriate base oils include poly-α-thin, dibasic acids, esters of polyols, alkylated aromatic compounds, polyalkylene glycols, and phosphates. Polyα-thin warp is a polymer that does not contain sulfur, lin, or metal hydrocarbons. Polyα-enol has good thermal stability, but is generally used in combination with an appropriate antioxidant. Dibasic acid esters can also exhibit good thermal stability 37 200406486, and are generally used as additives and used to resist hydrolysis and oxidation. Polyol esters include molecules containing two or more alcohol groups, such as trimethyloxypropane, neopentyl glycol, and isopentaerythritol esters. The esters of synthetic polyols are the reaction products of fatty acids derived from animal or plant sources with a synthetic polyol. Polyol esters have excellent thermal stability and are more resistant to hydrolysis and oxidation than other primers. Natural triglycerides or vegetable oils also belong to the same group of vinegars as polyhydric alcohols. However, the esters of polyhydric alcohols have better antioxidant capacity than this type of oil. The heat resistance of vegetable oil is generally related to its high content of linoleic acid and linolenic acid. In addition, the degree of unsaturation of fatty acids in vegetable oils is related to their susceptibility to oxidation. The greater the number of double bonds, the easier it is to oxidize. Trimethyloxypropane esters include monoesters, diesters, and triesters. Neopentyl glycol esters include mono- and di-esters. Isotetraol esters include mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-esters. Diisopentaerythritol esters may include up to six ester groups. The preferred esters are typically those with long chain fatty acids. C20 esters or esters of fatty acids with higher carbon number are preferred, such as giant oleic acid, eicosadienoic acid, eicosatric acid, eicosate Dilute acid, Eicosapentacarboxylic acid, Eicosanoic acid, Peanut dilute acid, Behenic acid, Fennic acid (cis-docosaic acid), Behenic acid pentaenoic acid, Hexacosaic acid Enoic acid, or lignoceric acid. However, in some embodiments, it is preferred to use C 1 8 esters or lower carbon fatty acid esters, such as butyric acid, hexanoic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, and myristic acid ( myr is to leic acid), myristic acid, pentacarbonic acid, hexadecanoic acid, hexadecane dicarboxylic acid, hexadecadienoic acid, hexadecadienoic acid, hexadecatetraenoic acid, heptacarbonate , 38 200406486 heptaenoic acid, octadecanoic acid, linoleic acid, (. .., octadecanetetracarboxylic acid, lin, vaccemc acid, linolenic acid. Dota π M ',' In the embodiment 'is preferably pentamidine, and the acid mixture that he does not ask is added with π isoalkyl aromatization. It is formed by the reaction of robber (for example, benzene). Hair 埶 ~ 匕 3 3 ® H ®%, hot female qualitatively similar to poly α-enol, and-添加剂 uses additives to provide anti-oxidation :, oxygen-burning polymerization Materials, which can exhibit good secondary system cycloadditions and are used to provide antioxidative properties. Base chlorides and aluminum oxides exhibit good thermal stability. In some embodiments, the ageing system is used to produce formulas that include oil recovery and other vegetable oils. For example, some people already know that The eighth version of me do wfo am crude extraction, the oxidation resistance of i8 times that of ordinary vegetable oils (for example, soybean oil): Medowfoam oil can be added in small amounts to other oils such as triglycerides, oil recovery oil and You Sesame oil to improve the oxidation stability of these oils. The stability of medowfoam crude extraction oil is not due to its ability to resist oxidation. One can be explained by the unusual antioxidant power of me (i〇Wf〇am crude extraction oil). It may be related to its unusual fatty acid composition. The main fatty acid from medowfoam oil is 5-eicosenoic acid, which has 5 times the oxidation resistance of common fatty acids and triglycerides, and is also a common monounsaturated fatty acid. 16 times or more. See "0xidative Stability Index of Vegetable Oils in Binary Mixtures with Medowfoam Oil", Terry et al., United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research S ervice, 1 997. Detergent additive-carburettor carbon deposits will form. These carbon deposits are caused by 39 200406486 dust and engine exhaust gas are glued together by the deposits of unsaturated hydrocarbons in the fuel; its Will change the air / fuel ratio, leading to longer idling time, increased fuel consumption and increased exhaust emissions. An appliance cleaner prevents the formation of carbon deposits and removes formed carbon. Detergents for this application are typically amines in the range of 20-60 ppm. Fuel injectors are quite sensitive to carbon deposits that reduce fuel flow and change the injector's injection mode. This carbon deposit can make it difficult for the vehicle to start, cause serious driving problems, and increase fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. The carbon deposits on the fuel burner are formed at a higher temperature than the carbon deposit formation temperature of the carburetor and are therefore more difficult to remove. The amines used to remove carbon deposits from the carburetor can also remove carbon deposits from the fuel injector, but the use concentration has been increased to about 1000. However, at this concentration, the amine cleaner itself can cause deposits on the inlet manifold. Polydispersants with higher thermal stability than amines have been used to overcome this problem, using concentrations between 20 and ppm. The same additives can also be used to effectively remove and control deposits on inlet pipes and valves. Deposits on inlet manifolds and valves, like carbon deposits in petrol engines, can also cause serious driving problems and increase fuel consumption and gas emissions. . For engines that have accumulated problems, the effect of detergents and additives may take several barrels of gasoline to take effect, especially when the amount of additives is not high. The carbon deposit in the combustion chamber will increase as the mileage of the vehicle increases, and the requirements for the value of Xinyuan will be raised. These carbon deposits are deposited in the gasoline end zone and near the plutonium. It blocks heat and therefore becomes very metallic during engine operation. The metal surface will conduct heat away and keep it cool, but these heat sinks are the accumulation of 4 dagger oil. Ignition, injection and injection are used to form ppm tubes and compounds. 600-port manifolds and waste dispersants are injected into Tiannanche, and deposits of 40 200406486 will cause ignition errors and cause vehicles to use higher octane fuel. . Polyetheramines and other additives are conventional additives that reduce the amount of carbon in the combustion chamber. It is known that reducing the amount of carbon deposited in the combustion chamber can reduce Nox emissions.

Driveability Additives-For gasoline-driven engines, such additives include anti-knock additives, anti-knock additives, which directly affect the combustion process (anti-knock additives) anti-run-on additives), anti-pre-igniti ο η additives, anti-misfire additives. Anti-knock additives include alkyl lead that is now completely banned in the United States. These 200406486 other metallic anti-knock additives are typically used at a dosage of about 0.2 grams of metal (or about 0 "wt% or about 1000 ppm) per liter of fuel. For both the research octane number (RON) and the engine octane number (MON), a typical octahedral accelerator in this dose range is 3 units. Many organic compounds also have anti-knock effects. These organic compounds include aromatic amines, alcohols, and ethers in amounts of about 1 000 ppm. These additives quench reactive radicals by transferring hydrogen. Oxygenating agents such as methanol and MTBE also increase the octane number, but their amount is so high that it cannot be considered as an additive 'but as one of the constituents. Pre-ignition is generally caused by carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and can be handled by combustion chamber cleaners or by increasing the fuel burnout value. These drivability additives can also be used in diesel engines. An advantage of each example diesel composition is that it contains one or more anti-wear additives. Preferred anti-wear additives include long chain primary amines having alkyl radicals or alkenyl radicals having 8 to 50 carbon atoms. The amine group used may be a monoamine or a mixture containing such amines. Examples of long-chain primary amines that can be used in the preferred embodiment include 2-ethylhexylamine, n-octylamine, n-decylamine, dodecylamine, oleylamine, linoleylamine, stearylamine, icos Burnt amine, tripropylene tricarboxyamine, pentapropylene tricarboxyamine, and the like. A particularly effective moon girl is oleylamine sold by Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry LLC of Chicago, IL under the trade name ARMEEN® O or ARMEEN® 0D. Other suitable amines are generally mixtures of fatty amines, including ARMEEN® T and ARMEEN® TD (the distilled form of ARMEEN® T, which contains 0-2% tetradecylamine, 24-30% cetane Amine, 25-28% 43 200406486 stearylamine and 45-46% stearylamine). Both ARMEEN © T and ARMEEN® TD are derived from automatic physical greases. Laurylamine and ARMEEN® 12D from these suppliers are suitable. The product contains 0-2% decaneamine, 90-95% dodecylamine, 0-3% tetradecylamine, and 0-1% stearylamine. Those skilled in the art know that such amines are useful and can be used to prepare such amine compounds from fatty acids: by converting fatty acids or fatty acid mixtures to their ammonium salt soaps, and then heating these ammonium salt soaps to The equivalent amidines are further converted into equivalent nitriles, and the nitriles are hydrogenated to produce amines. In addition to the various amines, amines derived from soy fatty acids are also within the scope of desired amines and can be used in the present invention. It should be noted that all of the above useful amines are linear fatty primary amines. These amines have 16 to 18 carbon atoms per molecule and are preferably saturated or unsaturated. Other preferred anti-wear additives include dimers of unsaturated fatty acids, preferably dimers of complementary long-chain fatty acids, such as dimers containing 8 to 30 carbon atoms which may be pure or almost pure. Alternatively, it is preferred to use a commercially available "dimer acid (d i m m r a c i d)". The latter is prepared by dimerizing unsaturated fatty acids and contains a mixture of monomers, dimers, and trimers of fatty acids. A particularly good dimer acid is a dimer of linoleic acid. Antioxidants-Various conventional antioxidants can be used in the diesel formulations in the examples of the present invention. These include benzyl antioxidants, amine antioxidants, thiophenol compounds, and organic phosphorus. For best results, the antioxidants preferably contain mainly (1) such as 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, 4-fluorene 44 200406486 radical-2,6 · di-tert-butylbenzene S Large, phenol antioxidants such as 2,4-difluorenyl-6-tert-butylbenzene, 4,4'-phosphonium bis (2,6-di-tert-butylphenol), and formazan Fork-bridged polyalkylphenol mixtures; or (2) — aromatic amine antioxidants such as cycloalkyl-di-lower alkylamines and phenylenediamines, or one or more of these phenolic antioxidants and A mixture of one or more such amine antioxidants.

These include, for example, organic sulfonates, polycyclodioxane, polycyclodioxyphenol resin, and the like. Particularly preferred are continuous acid-based aromatic aromatic compounds, polydioxane, and oxidized benzene resins, such as those sold by the Texas Baker Petrolite Corporation of Sugar Land under the TO LAD® trade name. Other conventional defoamers can also be used. Anticorrosives-There are a variety of anticorrosives that can be used in the diesel formulations in the examples of this invention. Dimer acids or trimer acids can be used, such as those derived from animal fatty acids, oleic acid, linoleic acid and the like. Products of this type of acid are commercially available, for example, from dimer or trimer acids sold under the trade name EMPOL® by the Cogni Cosorption of Cincinnati, Ohio. Other useful anticorrosives are alkenyl succinic acid and alkenyl succinic anhydride corrosion inhibitors, such as tetrapropenyl succinic acid, tetrapropyl 45 200406486 alkenyl succinic anhydride, tetradecenyl succinic acid, tetradecenyl Succinic anhydride, hexadecenyl succinic acid, hexadecenyl succinic anhydride and the like. Other useful ones include half-esters of alkenyl succinic acids having 8 to 24 carbon atoms and alcohols (e.g., polyglycols). Another useful anticorrosive is aminosuccinic acid or a derivative thereof. It is preferred to use a dialkyl ester of monoaminosuccinic acid in which the alkyl group contains 15 to 20 carbon atoms or the fluorene group is derived from a saturated or unsaturated carbon atom having 2 to 10 carbon atoms. Saturated carboxylic acid. Most preferred is the dialkyl ester of monosuccinic acid. Metal deactivator-If desired, the fuel composition may also contain a metal deactivator which is conventionally capable of forming a complex with a heavy metal salt such as copper. Generally, such metal deactivators need to be soluble in gasoline, such as N, N'-disalicylic acid-1,2-alkanediamine or N, N, disalicylic acid-1, 2-naphthenic diamine or a mixture thereof. Exemplary compounds include N, N'-disalicylate-1,2-ethanediamine, N, N'-disalicylate-1,2-propanediamine, N, N'-dihydrate Salicyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine and N, N'-disalicylic acid-N'-methyl-dipropylene triamine. The amounts of various additives that can be included in the diesel composition of the present invention are conventional amounts. The amount of each particular case needs to be an amount that provides the desired function to the fuel composition, and the amount is well known to those skilled in the art. Thermal stabilizers such as Octel Starreon high temperature diesel stabilizers F0A-8 ΓM or other such additives can be added to the fuel composition. Carrier fluid-Substances suitable as a carrier fluid include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, vegetable oil, animal oil, and synthetic oil. A suitable mineral oil may be a composition mainly of a paraffin type, a pinene type, or an aromatic type. Animals 46 200406486 Sexual oils include animal oils and animal semi-solid oils. Vegetable oils can include, but are not limited to, grape seed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, Sunflower Caixuan oil, cottonseed oil, crust oil, wheat germ oil, flaxseed oil, almond oil, safflower seed oil, Ramie oil and the like.

Preferred solvents include aromatic solvents such as benzene, xylene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and the like; and such solvents as cyclohexane, hexane, heptane, octane, and the like; , Nonane, and the like non-polar solvents. Appropriate solvents also include fuels with additives, such as gasoline, No. 1 diesel, No. 2 diesel, and so on. Depending on the type of substance to be dissolved, other suitable liquids can be selected as the solvent, such as oxygenators, carrier fluids, or additives as described herein. Oxygenation agents-substances added to gasoline to improve its octane number and reduce carbon monoxide emissions. These substances include various alcohols and ethers that can typically be mixed into gasoline to achieve an oxygen content of 2% in gasoline, and in some cases can even reach higher oxygen levels. Carbon monoxide emissions appear to be related to the oxygen content of the fuel and not to the chemical structure of the oxygenator. Because the heating value of oxygenators is lower than gasoline, fuels containing these components have lower volumetric fuel efficiency (how many miles per gallon). However, at 47 200406486, at typical mixing levels, the rattling is not significant, and the difference caused by the addition of oxygenating agents can only be detected under very precise measurements. It is known that oxygenating agents do not affect nitrogen oxide or carbon oxide emissions. In some embodiments, it may be preferred to add one or more oxygenating agents to the fuel. An oxygenating agent is a hydrocarbon containing one or more oxygen atoms. The main oxygenating agents are alcohols or ethers, including: methanol, fuel ethanol, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), diisopropyl ether (dipe), tert-butyl ether ). In some preferred embodiments, carotenoids of microcapsule ik. May require microencapsulation of carotenoids or other carotenoids and or carotene before incorporating them into Fuel additives, diesel fuel formulations, or other fuel formulations. Microencapsulation is the most effective way to avoid unwanted chemical reactions of additives with surrounding oxygen or other components. Encapsulating or otherwise preserving β-carotene can prevent carotene from being oxidized or occurs which could damage it as a cetane number improver or other types of fuel additives (for example, reducing emissions additives, promoting fuel economic benefits Additives, etc.) any other degradation effects. Therefore, it may not be necessary to stabilize β-carotene with the aid of an antioxidant or other additives (for example, ethoxyline), and the β-carotene can be maintained in its surrounding environment as an effective cetane Value improver. In a preferred embodiment, β-carotene and other optionally added components are encapsulated in lecithin microcapsules or nano particles. Other preferred shell materials include fuel-soluble polymers. These microcapsule shells can block unwanted reactions by blocking direct contact between the contained additives and the fuel or the atmosphere. Microencapsulated additives can also provide controlled release of the additives into the fuel at a certain concentration for long-term release. Microencapsulation technology generally involves coating a thin film of material on small solid particles, beads or bubbles, which material film can provide a protective shell for the contents of the capsule. The size of the microcapsules suitable for use in the preferred embodiment can be any suitable size, typically between 1 micron or less and about 1000 microns or more, preferably between about 2 microns and about 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900 microns; more preferably from about 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 microns to about 10, 1 5, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, or 45 microns. In some embodiments, it may be preferable to use nano-sized microcapsules. The volume of such microcapsules is from 100 nanometers or less to 10 nanometers to 1000 nanometers or less (1 micron), preferably from about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, From 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 nm up to about 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900 nm. Although in most embodiments, β-carotene or other liquid additive substances in a liquid phase are encapsulated in the microcapsules, in some embodiments it may be preferable to incorporate them into a solid substance. Solid-containing microcapsules can be prepared by conventional methods in the field of microcapsules, and such microcapsules can be incorporated into additive packages and fuels of the preferred embodiment. 49 200406486 The microcapsule Bayi type in the preferred embodiment is one or more kinds of carotene, _: fill: quality. The filling substance can be a long-chain unsaturated compound and can be selected from the group consisting of: pigment, its derivatives and precursors, carotene stabilizing agent, i.e., ethoxylin and other substances (for example, encased in micro-shells with shell substances).

These methods include gas phase and vacuum plutonium, which are a layer of coated spray cable or deposited on the filler particles to form a shell; or spraying the liquid into 50 200406486 gas phase ·, It is subsequently cured to form microcapsules. Suitable methods also include emulsification and dispersion methods, in which microcapsules are formed in the liquid phase of the reactor. Spray Drying The process of microencapsulation by spray drying involves Shell material concentrates containing filler particles or immiscible liquid filler dispersions are sprayed into a heated chamber for rapid solvent removal. Any suitable solvent system can be used. Spray drying is generally used to prepare inclusions such as Shell material such as gelatin, hydrated gelatin, acacia, modified starch, malt dextrose, sucrose, or sorbitol. When using a shell material solution, the filling Typical properties include a hydrophobic liquid or water-insoluble oil. Dispersants and / or emulsifiers can be added to the shell material concentrate. The spray drying method can be used to form relatively small microcapsules, that is, the volume is less than 1 Micron or microcapsules with a volume of up to 50 microns. The resulting particles may include individual particles or aggregates of individual particles. The quality of the filler that can be microencapsulated by spray drying is typically less than 20% (wt%) ) To 60% (wt%) or more. Compared to other processes, this process is a better choice because of its low cost and wide applicability. This method may not be suitable for preparing heat-sensitive substances. In another spray In the mist drying method, cold air blowing is used instead of heating to remove the solvent method to solidify the molten mixture containing filler particles or immiscible liquids. In this microgelation process, various fats, Wax, fatty alcohols, and fatty acids are used as shell materials. This method is generally used to prepare microcapsules with water-insoluble shell materials. Fluidized bed microcapsule process 51 200406486 The encapsulation process involves spraying the shell material liquid, which is generally in solution or molten state, onto a solid particle suspended in a gas stream (typically a heated gas stream), and then cooling the microencapsulated particles. The shell material used generally includes (but is not limited to) colloids, solvent-soluble polymers, and sugars. The shell material can be applied to the particles from the top of the reactor 'or sprayed from the bottom of the reactor, such as the Wurster process. The particles remain in the reactor until the desired thickness of the shell material has been reached. Fluid bed microcapsule technology is generally used to prepare water-soluble microcapsules. This method is particularly suitable for preparing microgels with irregularly shaped particles流. Fluidized bed microcapsule technology is typically used to prepare those with a volume much larger than 100 microns, but it can also be used to prepare small microcapsules. Complex Coacervation A complex compound formed by a pair of oppositely charged multiple electrolytes. Coacervation (mainly colloidal particles clumped together by electrostatic attraction) can form a micro Sac. A preferred polyanion is gelatin, which can form complexes with many types of polyanions. Typical polyanions include gum arabic, polyphosphate, polypropionic acid, and alginate. Complex coagulation is mainly used to trap water-immiscible liquids or water-insoluble solids. This method is not suitable for making nails with water-soluble or acid-sensitive substances. During the agglomeration process of gelatin and gum arabic, a water-insoluble filler is dispersed into a warm gelatin emulsion solution, and then gum arabic and water are added to the emulsion. The pH of the aqueous phase was adjusted to be slightly acidic, 52 200406486 to form complex complexes that can be adsorbed on the surface of the filling. This system is cooled down and a cross-linking agent such as glutaraldehyde is added. The microcapsules can be selectively treated with urea and formaldehyde at low pH to reduce the hydrophilicity of the shell, thereby helping to dry under strong conditions without forming excessive aggregates. After that, the obtained microcapsules were dried to form a powder. Polymer-Polymer Incompatibilities Microcapsules can be prepared by containing a solution of two polymer liquids that are soluble in a common solvent but are incompatible with each other. One of the polymers is preferably capable of being adsorbed by the filler. When the filler is dispersed in a solution, it is automatically coated with a thin layer of adsorbed polymer ^ Microcapsules are formed by cross-linking the adsorbed polymer, or by adding an A solvent polymer is formed into the solution. The liquid is then removed to obtain a microcapsule in the form of a dry powder. The polymer-polymer incompatible microcapsule process can be performed in solution-based or non-solution-based media. It is typically used to prepare polar solids with low water solubility. Suitable shell materials include ethyl cellulose, polylactide, and lactide-glycolide copolymers. The volume of microcapsules prepared through the polymer-polymer incompatible microcapsule process is generally smaller than that of microcapsules prepared by other methods, and the volume is generally about 100 microns or less than 1000 microns. Interfacial polymerization Microcapsules can also be prepared by performing a polymerization reaction on a liquid interface. One of these microcapsule manufacturing methods is to prepare a dispersion of two mutually incompatible solutions. Its 53 200406486 dispersed phase forms a filler. Each phase contains a separate reactant that is capable of undergoing a polymerization reaction to form a shell. The reactants in the dispersed phase and the reactants in the continuous phase can react between the interface of the dispersed phase and the continuous phase and form a shell. The reactants in the continuous phase typically reach this interface through a diffusion process. Once the reaction begins, the shell becomes a barrier that prevents diffusion, thus limiting the reaction rate of the interfacial gingival polymerization. This may affect the shape and uniformity of the shell. Dispersions can be added to the continuous phase. The dispersed phase may include a solvent or a non-solution solvent. Choose a continuous phase that is not miscible with the dispersed phase. A typical polymerization reactant may include an acidic chloride or isocyanate capable of polymerizing with an amine or alcohol. The amine or alcohol is dissolved in a solution phase capable of dissolving an amine or alcohol in a non-aqueous phase. The acid gaseous or isocyanate is soluble in the water (or non-aqueous solvent) insoluble phase. Similarly, the solid particles containing the reactant or the solid particles coated with the reactant on the surface may be dispersed in a liquid, wherein the solid particles are not soluble in the liquid. The reactants located on or on the solid particles then react with the reactants in the continuous phase to form a shell. Another method is to prepare microcapsules on the liquid interface, generally referring to the in-situ encapsulation process (sww encapsulation), which disperses the filling substance in the form of almost insoluble solid or the filling substance in the form of water-insoluble liquid In an aqueous solution phase ◎ The aqueous solution phase contains urea, melamine, water-soluble urea-fluoride condensate or water-soluble urea-melamine condensate. To form a shell with a filling, formaldehyde is added to the aqueous phase, which is then heated and acidified. As the polymerization continues, a polycondensation product is deposited on the surface of the dispersed core material. Different from the above-mentioned interface polymerization reaction, this method is suitable for more sensitive filling materials, because the reactants do not necessarily need to be dissolved in the filling materials. In a related in-situ encapsulation process, a water-insoluble liquid or solid system containing a water-insoluble vinyl monomer and a vinyl monomer starting material is dispersed in an aqueous solution phase. A polymerization reaction is initiated by heating, and an ethyl green-based shell is formed in the aqueous phase interface. Gas phase polymerization can be performed by exposing filler particles to a gas capable of polymerizing on the surface of the particles. In this method, the device contains para-xylene dimer, which is polymerized on the surface of the particles to form a poly (p-xylene) shell. Some special equipment may be needed to perform this coating process, so this method is also more expensive than the liquid phase encapsulation method. In addition, the encapsulating filling material is preferably one which is not too sensitive to the reactants and reaction conditions. Solvent volatilization Microcapsules can also be prepared by removing volatile solvents from two immiscible solutions (for example, oil in water, oil in oil, or water in oil and oil in water). The shell-forming substance needs to be soluble in the volatile solvent. The filling material is dissolved, dispersed or emulsified in the solution. Suitable solvents include dichloromethane and ethyl acetate. The solvent evaporation method is preferably a method capable of encapsulating a water-soluble filling substance (for example, polypeptide) in the shell. When this kind of water-soluble composition is to be encapsulated, a thickener is generally added to the aqueous phase, and then the solution 55 200406486 can also be removed by cooling the microcapsules formed at normal atmospheric pressure to cool the water and phase. After coagulating into a gel, a dispersant is added to the emulsion before the solvent removing agent is added. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure. It is prepared by this method and is generally below 1 m or above 100 m. Centrifugal encapsulation method is typically achieved by using a shell with a shell. Centrifugal force can also be used to prepare microcapsules, substances and well-shaped cups filled with substances. The cup is immersed in an oil bath and centrifuged at a fixed rate, and droplets formed in the oil including the shell substance and the filling substance are generated outside the rotating cup. After the liquid droplets are cooled to form a gel, oil-loaded particles can be produced, and the particles can be dried afterwards. The volume of the microcapsules produced by this method is generally quite large. C »Another aspect of this method A This centrifugal force encapsulation method refers to a rotary suspension separation method, in which a mixture of filler particles and a molten shell material (or a shell material solution) is fed into a rotating dish. The coating material will be spun out by centrifugal force, and gelled or removed from the solvent, and then collected. Β submerged ± mouth sign encapsulation method The process of encapsulation by submerged nozzle generally involves the shell material The mixture liquid composed of the filling substance and the filling substance is sprayed from a nozzle into a carrier gas stream, and the obtained droplets are gelled and cooled. The volume of microcapsules prepared in this way is generally quite large. Desolvent method In the desolvent method or the extraction and drying method, the filling substance dispersion liquid dispersed in the shell material concentrated solution or dispersion liquid is atomized and allowed to enter the solvent of the desolvation method. When a solution dispersion is used, the typical system is a water-soluble alcohol. Typically, water-soluble shell substances are used, including maltose, sugar, and gum. The solvent in the desolvation method is preferably water-soluble alcohols such as propanol or propylene glycol. The resulting microcapsules do not have a distinct filling material phase. Therefore, the microcapsules produced have a filling substance of 1.5% (wt%) or less. In some specific embodiments, the mass of the filling material may be slightly higher than this amount. Fat particles Fat particles are typically less than 30 nanometers to more than 1 nanocapsule, which contain a double layer of phospholipids enclosing a layer of aqueous space. The molecules are arranged in such a manner that their polar heads are aligned toward the aqueous solution, and the hydrophobic hydrocarbon portions thereof are aggregated with each other in the double layer to form a closed fatty layer which can be separated from the aqueous solution portion. The substance may be trapped in the aqueous space of the fat particles or trapped between the two layers. As to where a drug should be trapped, it depends on the composition of the drug's physiological special fat particles. Fat particles can slowly release the drugs trapped in them by hydrolyzing fat with enzymes. Lecithin bilayer fat is a particularly good type of microcapsule, partly due to the resistance of lecithin itself. Nanoparticles Nanoparticles are small fat carriers of nanometer size, typically made from lipids. Both fat particles and nano particles are far in volume, with diameters ranging from 20 nanometers to 1,000 nanometers. But the fat microparticles are solvent, including P 2-fat type phospholipids with medium and rice content. The phospholipids can be used as microparticles to oxidize lecithin. It is composed of 57 200406486 or multilayer bilayer membrane, and nano particles are Consists of a single layer of shell material. Fat microparticles are typically filled with a water-soluble or hydrophilic composition, so they are typically carriers of hydrophilic substances. In contrast, nano particles are filled with organic-philic or hydrophobic substances and are therefore ideal carriers for lipophilic agents. High-pressure homogenization with a microfluidizer to prepare fatty carriers such as fat particles and nano particles is a rather complicated technique. This method allows easy mass production and stable manufacture of reliable products. The homogenizer has a specially designed reaction chamber. In this reaction chamber, the premixed component gas stream is first divided into two and then combined at a specific angle. At this time, high shear and collapse forces will allow fat carriers to form at pressures up to 1200 bar. High-pressure homogenization technology can trap the dispersed oil in the carrier by 100%. Usually, multiple cycles are required in the reaction chamber to obtain a homogeneous product. The average droplet size and distribution size are mainly used to distinguish the nano particles. It can be determined by photon correlation spectroscopy or electron microscope observation of samples prepared by cryo-fracture method. The particle core may contain a variety of lipophilic agents, such as carotene or carotenoids, and hydrophobic antioxidants. By enclosing these components in nano particles, the chemical stability (the ability to fight oxidation) can be greatly improved. Nanoparticles can be prepared with up to 40% oil-soluble composition. The volume of the carrier is determined by many factors, the most important of which are the homogeneous pressure, the type of lecithin used and its concentration, the type of oil used and its concentration, and the concentration of the solvent. Only when the ratio of phospholipids to oil is quite high is it possible to obtain extremely small 58 200406486 type nano particles. Other Microgel Capsule Processes Although the above microcapsule process is generally used to prepare the microcapsules in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, other conventional microcapsule processes can also be used to prepare the microcapsules. In addition, in some specific embodiments, a carotene, carotenoid, etc. or other substance that is not encapsulated in the microcapsules may be required, but it is directly added to the fuel additive or the fuel formula to which the additive is added in. Alternatively, the additives or other materials may be incorporated into a solid matrix or a carrier material. The microcapsules added to the fuel additive or the fuel formula to which the additives have been added may be of the same type and contain the same additives or other substances; or they may contain multiple different types of microcapsules and / or encapsulated additives or Other substances. Spray Drying and Freeze Drying Spray drying is a method commonly used in the industry to prepare dry solids from powders, granules, or agglomerates of liquids such as solutions, emulsions, and smokable suspensions. The spray-drying method can be used to prepare solid particles containing carotene, carotenoids and the like. The instrument used for spray drying is typically composed of a fixed pump, a rotary or nozzle atomizer, an air heater, an air diffuser, a drying chamber, an exhaust air purification system, and a power recovery system. In the spray-drying method, a liquid raw material is atomized into droplets to be sprayed and brought into contact with hot air in a drying chamber. Under controlled temperature and air flow, the water vapor of the droplets will be evaporated and form a dry particle. The powder, granules, or aggregates formed are released from the drying chamber. Under certain 59-month conditions: during the spray-drying process, liquid may be used, so that even if # 了 f # hs 4 _ stir body J "after the spray-drying process, the composition of the liquid is still the same as the system P1 # I, it should be performed At the beginning of the schedule, they are not far away. Dry design, to determine the complete operation of HO weekly, and to understand the characteristics of the product. Another better drying method for removing the solvent is three-phase ... Fang for cold coating and drying before ... two pre-cold training, main cold beads and re-freeze drying process, that is, A.v J 1 liver freeze The dry mix is 'pre-chilled', that is, the substance must be completely cold-beaded and not contain any concentrated solute packets that have not yet been aged. If the cold temperature of an aqueous solution is lower than the surrounding water, the mixture must reach its euteetic temperatllre. Once the mix is pre-frozen, it can be removed from the frozen mix by sublimation in the main_freeze stage. After the main_freezing step is completed, it can remain in the mixture in a bound form. In order to remove the solvent, it is necessary to continue cold cooling to completely remove the solvent from the fish dish or the carrot plate or add β-hu-carotene to the microcapsule. In a preferred embodiment, the β method can be changed according to the following method -Hull preserved or microencapsulated. A β-carotene mixture can be encapsulated in maltoglucose by spray drying, drum drying or cold. The system uses 40 ° / per 1000 grams. Malt dextrose solution (the ratio of β-carotene to the sugar content) and stir the mixture I before drying. The original conditions are dried and dried. Freeze-dried and sub-frozen. The material must be frozen first and the intermediate mixture must be frozen. It is generally better to lyophilize the solvent if the solvent is removed from the solvent, which is still better for this product. 25Έ) 0.5 Add homogenization 60 200406486. Suitable methods for trapping β-carotene in malt glucose include, for example, J. Food Sci. (1 997), 62 (6), 1158] 162; Crit Food Sci. Nutr. (1 998) 3 8 (5), 3 8 1 -3 96; J · Food Process · Preserv · (1 999) 23 (1), 3 9-55 and other literature disclosed spray drying, drum drying or freeze drying methods. Β-carotene can also be microencapsulated with other microcapsules other than malt dextrose. These microcapsules include pullulan (a kind of polysaccharides polymerized by glucose units, whose polymerization method makes the polysaccharides sticky and not easily penetrated by oxygen), and polymers of various molecular weights. Vinylpyrrolidone (for example, PVP40 and PVP3 60), as described in Food Chenistry (2 000) 71 (2), 1 99-206. Hydrolyzed starch can also be used as a microgel tincture, as described in J. Food Sci. (1995) 60 (5), 1048-53 — described herein. Additive Concentrate The cetane number improver package can be added directly to the bottom fuel oil. Alternatively, the additive formulation is provided in an additive package that can be used or used to prepare an additive-containing fuel. Alternatively, the aforementioned various additives may be provided in the form of a concentrate. I Bell oil Diesel oil used in the preferred embodiment includes a portion of crude oil distilled at a temperature range of 150 ° C to 3 7 01 (69 8 F), the distillation temperature being much higher than the boiling point of gasoline. Diesel is ignited in the internal combustion engine by high-pressure hot air. As for gasoline, it is ignited by oil sparks. Due to different ignition modes, good diesel fuel requires a higher cetane number. Burning point and composition of diesel oil 61 1. 200406486 Quite close to the boiling point and composition of lighter heating oil. Diesel is divided into two stages, which are divided into first stage diesel (D i e s e 1 1) and second stage diesel (Diesel 2) according to the AS T M standard. First-stage diesel is a form of diesel. Compared to second-stage diesel, it is lighter, more volatile, and burns cleaner. It is mostly used in engines that require frequent speed changes or shifts. The second-stage diesel is mostly used for industrial purposes, and No. 4 and No. 5 diesel are light oil and heavy oil, respectively, and No. 6 diesel oil is used for heavy engine oil. Suitable diesels may include high sulfur and low sulfur oils. Low sulphur oils usually include those with a sulphur content of 500 ppm (by weight) or less and can contain as little as 100, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, 55 , 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, or 5 ppm or less of sulfur, or even 0 ppm of sulfur, such as synthetic diesel. High sulphur oils usually include those with a sulphur content above 500 p p m, for example up to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5% (wt%) or more sulfur. Oils with a boiling point between 15 ° C and 33 ° C burn best in a diesel engine. They can burn completely without wasting fuel or emitting high amounts of exhaust gas. Can provide the best cetane number of paraffin, the best choice for diesel blends. The higher the content of paraffin in a fuel, the faster the fuel is warmed and the combustion is more complete. However, heavy crude products that boil in the high temperature range can also be used, although the effect is poor. The next light composition of diesel is arylene, and the aromatics are the next heavy composition. Using these heavy compositions can help reduce the waxy feel of diesel fuel. At low temperatures, paraffin wax tends to form a solid, which can easily cause fuel filter clogging. In addition to the first-stage diesel and the second-stage diesel, in other embodiments, 62 200406486 may use other fuels that can be burned in a diesel engine as the bottom fuel oil.

Since most gasoline is consumed shortly after the gasoline tank is full, this means that for most consumers, the storage problem of quenching 4 aa is not significant. However, for gasoline distributors, suppliers of poultry, or even consumers who want to store gasoline for a long time (that is, more than 6 or in the non-optimal storage position ^ 1%). The storage of gasoline is a woman's door. Therefore, an additive that can prevent gasoline from colloidal precipitation and does not change the gasoline and occupies you inw is the performance of the additive when used, is the goal that the industry strives to find.

Jet fuel or gasoline in a particular Whether there is a possible colloid after the rapid aging period. Its value represents the storage of a fuel over a long period of time: Yes: ^ The tendency to produce a colloidal sink. Potential impact of colloid sinks and the existing The effect is the same. For the car fuel, it can be expressed in the colloidal sedimentation (a.-Called "(sometimes also called seizures). This represents the period from the accelerated test until the tenderness starts quickly ... The elapsed period (in minutes). For aviation fuel and jet fuel 2004 20048686, the potential colloidal precipitation can be expressed as α "potential or accelerated colloidal deposit mP_ual w accelemed gum". This is a colloidal precipitate plus lead deposition (from gasoline containing &) measured from the end of a period of accelerated aging. ASTM test D525's Oxidation Stability Test for Gasoline (Induction Period Method) is based on the accelerated oxidation state to determine the stability of a refined gasoline. This induction period can be used as the ease (or tendency) of a car gasoline to form a colloidal precipitate (ie, a potential colloidal precipitate) during the tardiness period. Perylenes, including dihydrophosphines, such as ethoxyline, are particularly suitable for suppressing colloidal precipitation. 'Specially, those colloidal precipitates measured in "potential or accelerated colloidal precipitation" were tested. Quinoline can be added to the fuel in the same amount as other colloidal inhibitors. Depending on the degree of oxidation of the fuel, the added amount may be less than 1 ppm or about 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 ppm or more; preferably 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 ppm or more; more preferably about 100, 15, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, or 500 ppm or more. If the fuel condition is particularly poor, that is, the potential colloidal precipitation of the base fuel is high, the amount of peroxoline added can be as high as 600, 650, 700, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 2000, 3 000, or 4000 ppm or more. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the amount of ethoxyline that is added to gasoline is 50 to 7500 ppm, preferably 100 to 500 ppm, and more preferably 200 or 400 ppm. The gasoline used in the various embodiments may be a mixture or conventional formulation of hydrocarbons in the boiling point range of gasoline, or it may contain oxygen-comprising components such as alcohols and / or ethers having an appropriate boiling point, ie, fuel solubility 75 200406486. , Such as methanol, ethanol, tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), tert-pentamidine ether (TAME), and mixtures of oxygen-containing substances, which are made of "oxygen" gasoline and / or in Formed by enols in the boiling point range of gasoline. Therefore, each embodiment relates to the use of gasoline, including reformulated gasolines, which are designed to meet various requirements regarding the base fuel oil itself, the composition of the fuel that can be used, performance requirements, toxicological considerations, and / or environmental considerations Government regulations. Therefore, the amount of oxygen-containing composition, detergents, antioxidants, defoamers, etc. in the fuel can be adjusted and changed according to applicable government regulations. Aviation fuel for aviation piston engines must have an octane number that can meet the engine It is required that the freezing point is -60 ° C and the distillation temperature is generally between 3 ° C and 180 ° C. Gasoline suitable for the preferred embodiment also includes those used for two-stroke engines. In a stroke engine, lubricating oil is added to the combustion chamber and mixed with gasoline. Combustion causes unburned gasoline and black smoke in the exhaust. Some two-stroke engines may also be very inefficient, causing them to run for 2 hours under load. The emissions produced are the same as those produced by a gasoline-powered car equipped with a typical emissions control system when it has run 13,000 miles. In a typical two-stroke vehicle, about 25% By 30% of the unburned gasoline leaves from the tailpipes. In California alone, there are nearly 500,000 two-stroke engines, which produce approximately the same amount of exhaust gas as 4,000,000 million gasoline-powered cars can produce. In Malaysia, or even most of Asia, 76 200406486 China and India, the problem is even more serious. Malaysia has about 4,000,000 two-stroke engines, which produces air pollution equivalent to 32,00,000 cars. Pyridoxine, such as oxoxoline, is added to any liquid hydrocarbon fuel that is prone to colloidal precipitation, including diesel, jet fuel, and residual oil. The amount of addition is similar to that used in gasoline, but it depends on the fuel itself To adjust the situation.
