Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a biodiesel fuel mixture comprising polyoxymethylene dialkyl ether.
  • oils i.e. fatty acid esters, typically triglycerides, which can generally be classified as biodegradable and harmless to the environment.
  • Rapeseed oil can be regarded as a prototype of such vegetable oils.
  • oils comprise the glycerides of a number of acids, the acids being variable with the type and origin of the vegetable oil, and additionally phosphoglycides if appropriate.
  • Such oils may be obtained by known processes.
  • the vegetable oils can be transesterified to obtain the alkyl esters, for example the methyl esters, of the fatty acids bonded in the glycerides.
  • FR-A 2 492 402 describes a fuel composition comprising one or more fatty acid esters of animal or vegetable origin of the general formula R 1 —COOR 2 , in which R 1 is a substantially linear saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical having from 5 to 23 carbon atoms and R 2 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms.
  • R 1 is a substantially linear saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical having from 5 to 23 carbon atoms
  • R 2 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms.
  • Such fuel compositions are described as being suitable for use in diesel engines since they have a cetane number which corresponds approximately to the cetane number of conventional diesel fuels which are obtained from mineral oils.
  • biodiesel as a renewable fuel is the reduction in the net CO 2 emission. Moreover, the exhaust emissions of sulfur oxides, particles and carbon monoxide are reduced. In contrast, the nitrogen oxide emissions can be slightly increased. Thus, it can be assumed that the amount of CO 2 released when biodiesel is combusted (approx. 2.4 t/t of biodiesel) can be assimilated again by growing plants from which vegetable oils for biodiesel are obtained in turn, so that the net CO 2 output is close to 0. Biodiesel is also virtually sulfur-free (sulfur content between 0 and 0.0024 ppm, compared to up to 350 ppm of sulfur in conventional fossil diesel fuel).
  • biodiesel The energy content of biodiesel is still 92% of that of fossil diesel, so that approx. 1.1 l of biodiesel replace 1 l of fossil diesel fuel.
  • cetane number of diesel fuels can be increased by admixing linear ethers.
  • the cold properties of the fuel are improved and the dilution reduces the contents of aromatic hydrocarbons and sulfur.
  • the ethers also have a positive effect on the emissions.
  • the high cetane number leads to lower emission of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
  • the high oxygen content in the ether additionally leads to a reduction of soot particles in the exhaust gas.
  • EP-A 1 070 755 discloses a diesel fuel mixture with a cetane number >40 composed of a typical diesel oil cut and from 1 to 20% by volume of polyoxymethylene dialkyl ethers. The addition of the polyoxymethylene dialkyl ethers raises the cetane number from 48 to a value between 63 and 100.
