Carbonate derivatives were synthesized for the use of diesel additives and the derived cetane numbers of the derivatives were measured. Some carbonate ester derivatives were synthesized from 1,2-glycerol carbonate and long alkyl chain fatty acids. To improve the solubility, we introduced unsaturated groups into aliphatic carbons and alkyl group into ${\alpha}$-carbon to the carbonyl group. The derived cetane numbers obtained from ASTM method were increased up to 1.0, which means some carbonate derivatives could be potential diesel additives.

바이오디젤이란 식물성 기름, 동물성 지방, 폐식용유 등의 재생 가능한 자원을 촉매 존재 하에 알코올과 반응시켜 생성되는 에스테르 혼합물을 말하며 경유와 물성이 유사하므로 경유에 혼합하여 압축착화 방식인 디젤엔진에 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 바이오디젤은 경유에 비하여 탄소-탄소 간 이중결합을 가지고 있는 성분을 많이 함유하고 있기 때문에 공기에 의해 산화가 일어나기 쉽다. 일반적으로 폐놀계 향산화제인 t-buthylhydroquinone(TBHQ)를 사용하여 산화안정성을 향상시키나 국내에서 사용되는 산화방지제는 전량 수입에 의존하고 있어 제품 개발에 의한 국산화가 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 폐유지로부터 생산한 바이오디젤의 산화안정성 향상을 위하여 폐놀 및 아민계 등의 산화방지제를 합성하여 바이오디젤에 적용하였으며, 다양한 물성시험방법을 적용하여 석유 및 석유대체연료 사업법에서 규정하는 바이오디젤의 품질기준을 확인하였다. 또한 EN 14112 바이오디젤 산화안정성 시험방법으로 폐놀 및 아민계 등의 산화안정성을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 산학연 공동기술개발 1차년도 사업으로 한국화학연구원과 공동으로 수행하였으며, 산화방지제 적용평가를 통해 우수한 제품을 선정하여 2차년도에는 차량 테스트를 통해 연료 첨가제로서의 적합성을 검증할 예정이다.

This study reviewed the adjuvants or extractants used in environment-friendly organic agro-materials used in a range of advanced countries or institutes. We observed that potassium hydroxide and fermented ethyl alcohol are generally acceptable extractants, and the inert ingredient list 4 of United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) is applicable for crop production adjuvants.

Cetane number of diesel fuel for compression ignition engine is one of main properties for fuel ignition quality. Recently the cetane index has been replaced the cetane number in order to resolve the disadvantage of CFR engine test, but these two value have slightly difference values due to addition of various additives. In this study, we analyzed the cetane number, derived cetane number and cetane index for diesel fuel which was blended with various ratios of biodiesel, kerosene and cetane improver as additives. As a result, Cetane number showed the similar value with derived cetane number, but cetane index showed quite different value with cetane number when biodiesel and cetane improver were used as additives.

At low temperature, Wax build-up and settling can affect adversely the cold weather performance of the diesel vehicle. In this study, we test the cold properties of diesel by blending ratio of biodiesel, kerosene and WAFI. Also, we test the cold weather performance for diesel vehicle by fuel cold properties. Cold properties of diesel are improved by adding the WAFI, kerosene and get worse by adding the biodiesel. WAFI is effective to improve a cold filter plugging point(CFPP) and Kerosene is effective to improve a cloud point(CP). CFPP and pour point(PP) are related to cold weather performance of diesel vehicle but CP is unrelated. CFPP indicate a limit temperature of vehicle driving possibility.

This study was performed to investigate solubility, dissolution rate and ash content of solid type fuel additive in gasoline and diesel in order to set up manufacturing standards. From the results, the unfiltered impurities were increased when the fuel additive was added on gasoline and diesel. Also, the unfiltered fuel additive was decreased with respect to increasing the pore size of the filter paper. When one gram of the fuel additive was dissolved in one liter of gasoline at room temperature, the best dissolution rate was about 2 hours. But, almost nothing was dissolved in diesel during 72 hours at $20^{\circ}C$ below zero. At the experiment of ash content, the gasoline which the fuel additive was melted in was showing 28 times more ash content than that was not including the fuel additive. Therefore, it seemed that almost all of ash content was caused by the fuel additive.

We studied degradation effects of hydrophobic substrate such as kerosene and diesel by adding a biosurfactant originated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa F722 and chemical surfactants (Tween 80 and detergent) with aeration. The surface tensions of the biosurfactant, Tween 80 and detergent were 30mN/m, 39mN/m and 31mN/m, respectively. When the concentration of biosurfactant added in C-medium was 0.01 and 0.15%(w/v), the ratios of hydrocarbon degradation were 94.3％ and 94.2% respectively. It was 6.2%(w/v) higher than when the concentrations of added biosurfactant were 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2％. The degradation ratios of the chemical surfactants (Tween 80 and detergent) were 94.5％ and 93.5％ respectively. The effects of the biosurfactant and chemical surfactants were similar on the degradation ratio in mixtures of kerosene and diesel. However, the population of viable p. aeruginosa F722 at the end of the cultivation period was twice as higher in the biosurfactant than that in the chemical surfactant. We also studied the effect of aeration (0.5vvm) on the degradation ratio. The biosurfactant addition experiment was conducted with 0.5vvm air, 35$^{\circ}C$, 150rpm, pH 8.0, 3days, 1.0% (w/v) substrate. When p. aeruginosa F722 and 0.15%(w/v) biosurfactant were added, the degradation ratio of hydrocarbon was 94.8％. Without p. aeruginosa F722, it was 68%. Thus, with aeration, the degradation ratio of hydrocarbon was increased by 26.8％. In addition, the cultivation time was shortened by 1/3. The degradation ratios of hydrocarbon in shaking culture (cultivation time; 3days) and stationary culture (cultivation time; 10days) were 94.8 and 93.7％ respectively. Thus, the addition of biosurfactant and aeration enhanced the degradation of hydrocarbon originated kerosene and diesel.

GTL(gas-to-liquid) fuel produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process using carbon monoxide(CO) and hydrogen(H2) is expected to be one of the environmental friendly fuel for alternative and blended to petrodiesel. But GTL have poor lubricity due to paraffin as main component of GTL which is not involve polar materials. In this paper, we had investigated the lubricity improvement of GTL fuels with various lubricants using HFRR(high frequency reciprocating rig).

Recently it is a tendency that the use of the heavy fuel oil is investigated even from the middle&small class vessel in order to reduce the operating cost of vessel caused by with rise of international gas price. In this study, analyzed the physical & chemical properties and examined the effect of refining treatment and a fuel oil additive for MF30 fuel oil which is a mixture fuel oil mixed M.G.O and the heavy oil MF380 use to be possible in the middle&small class vessel. As a results, the effects of two of pre-refinery treatment methods as centrifugal purifier and heating & homogenizing system(M.C.H) are some feeble, but the pour point and the flash point came to be low more or less. The effect of property improvement which is caused by with the fuel oil additive did not appear positively.
