This study is aimed at substantially reducing the particulate matter (dust) emission during the combustion of heavy fuel in boilers by addition of combustion improver. The combustion improver used were the oil-soluble organometallic compounds that were found to be more effective than the dispersing agents that are generally used for reducing the particulate emission. The dust reduction effect was found to depend on the active materials (metals) as well as on the organic ligand part of organometallic compounds. Acetylacetonoate and naphthenate of Fe and Ca were found to be most effective for dust reduction. Addition of Fe and Ca organometallic compounds as combustion improver in concentration of 30 ppm (metal basis) to heavy fuel oil, caused dust reduction by 50 wt% to 80 wt%.

The purpose of this paper is to experimentally investigate the engine pollutant emissions and combustion characteristics of diesel engine fueled with ethanol-diesel blended fuel (bio-diesohol). The experiments were performed on a single-cylinder DI diesel engine. Two blend fuels were consisted of $15\%$ ethanol, $83.5\%$ diesel and $1.5\%$ solublizer (by volume) were evaluated: one without cetane improver (E15-D) and one with a cetane improver (E15-D+CN improver). The engine performance parameters and emissions including fuel consumption, exhaust temperature, lubricating oil temperature, Bosch smoke number, CO, NOx, and THC were measured, and compared to the baseline diesel fuel. In order to gain insight into the combustion characteristics of bio-diesohol blends, the engine combustion processes for blended fuels and diesel fuel were observed using an Engine Video System (AVL 513). The results showed that the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increased at overall engine operating conditions, but it is worth noting that the brake thermal efficiency (BTE) increased by up to $1-2.3\%$ with two blends when compared to diesel fuel. It is found that the engine fueled with ethanol-diesel blend fuels has higher emissions of THC, lower emissions of CO, NOx, and smoke. And the results also indicated that the cetane improver has positive effects on CO and NOx emissions, but negative effect on THC emission. Based on engine combustion visualization, it is found that ignition delay increased, combustion duration and the luminosity of flame decreased for the diesohol blends. The combustion is improved when the CN improver was added to the blend fuel.

DME is generally expected to be used as a promising clean alternative fuel to diesel fuel. DME is not natural product but a synthetic product that is produced either through the dehydration of methanol or a direct synthetic from syngas. As DME has no carbon-carbon bond in its molecular structure and is an oxygenate fuel, it's combustion essentially generates no soot. DME has such cetane number of 55~60 that it can be used as a diesel engine fuel. However, DME has low lubricity but a proven method to solve the poor lubricity is by adding lubricity improver. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop lubricity improver of DME as a transport fuel in Korea. In this study, we investigated a possibility of fatty acid ester compounds as a candidate to improve DME lubricity as compared with current lubricity improver of diesel. We also evaluated quality characteristics, storage stability of DME with lubricity additives.

본 연구에서는 바이오매스 조연제인 리그닌과 글리세린을 이용하여 일산화탄소(CO) 저감형 착화탄을 개발, 연소시 발생하는 일산화탄소 측정을 통해 조연제가 일산화탄소 발생에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 연료의 완전연소를 위해 저온에서 높은 연소성을 보이는 글리세린을 높은 비표면적 값을 가진 리그닌에 함침시켜 연소 특성이 나타날 수 있도록 하였다. 열중량분석기(TGA) 및 가스분석기(GC/MS)를 이용하여 연소성, 탈휘발성 평가 및 일산화탄소 발생량을 측정하였다. 본 연구 결과에서 조연제 함유량에 따른 일산화탄소 발생량을 통해 전체 중량 대비 20% 조연제를 혼합 시 최적의 일산화탄소 저감률을 확인할 수 있었다. 최종적으로 일반 착화탄의 일산화탄소 농도 대비 20~30% 가량 감소한 값을 도출하였다.

This study is a part of the project that investigates a possibility of using methyl/ethyl butyrate as an alternative material of MTBE. To investigate characteristics of the two materials, a 2.0L 4-cylinders SI engine that was coupled to an 160kw EC engine dynamometer was used and operated several conditions. Two exhaust gas analyzer was used to measure CO, NOx and THC of after and before of a catalyst. Also, to compare combustion characteristics of the fuels a combustion analyzer was used for measuring pressure of inside of a cylinder. The results show no special difference between MTBE and the two materials from the emission and combustion characteristics aspect.

본 연구에서는 휘발유가 연소촉진제로 사용되어 폭발현상이 발생할 수 있는 조건을 실험적으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 소형(Small scale $0.5m{\times}0.5m{\times}1.0m$), 및 중형(Middle $0.9m{\times}0.9m{\times}1.5m$) 구획 공간을 제작하고 자동제어시스템을 구성하여 공간 내부에서 기화된 휘발유 양을 산출하였으며, 공간 내부의 순간 압력, 착화 시간 그리고 최대 압력의 시간 간격을 측정하였다. 그 결과 최대 온도 약 $700^{\circ}C$ 정도인 니크롬선을 점화원으로 사용한 경우 휘발유 폭발 범위는 1.4 Vol%~7.6 Vol% 보다 넓은 최대 22.4 Vol%까지 발생하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 유증기에 의한 폭발현장 조사 시 화재 감식을 분석적으로 판단하는데 유용한 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문은 농업부산물인 왕겨를 사용하여 목제펠릿 이용 가능성을 도출하고자 하였으며 왕겨의 낮은 발열량은 팽연화 기술과 연소첨가제를 통해 개선하고자 하였다. 왕겨의 물리?화학적 분석 시 염소 함유량이 0.09%로 목재펠릿 품질 기준에 부합하지 않는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 팽연화 기술을 통해 왕겨를 팽연왕겨로 제작 시 염소 함유량이 감소하여 목재펠릿 기준에 준하는 0.02%의 생성물을 얻을 수 있었으며 발열량 역시 기존 3,780 kcal/kg 대비 4,280 kcal/kg로 증가된 생성물을 얻을 수 있었다. 5,000 kcal/kg 이상의 생성물을 얻기 위해 연소촉진제로 붕사, 과산화수소, 수산화나트륨을 사용했지만 발열량 개선은 미비하게 나타났다. 폐자원 바이오매스인 커피찌꺼기를 사용하여 커피유로 전환 후 팽연왕겨에 혼합하여 생성물 분석 시 커피유 15 wt% 혼합 생성물이 4,949 kcal/kg의 발열량을 나타냈다. 농업부산물인 왕겨를 목제펠릿으로 사용할 시 발열량 개선을 위해 폐자원을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다 판단되며, 본 연구의 결과에 따라 커피유를 혼합할 시 왕겨를 목제펠릿으로 충분히 사용 가능할 것이라 사료된다.

Phase separation and low cetane number are the main barriers to the large-scale use of ethanol-diesel blend fuel on small diesel engines. In this paper, an additive package is designed on the basis of the blended fuel properties to overcome these limitations. The experiments show that the solubility of ethanol in diesel is evidently increased by adding $1{\sim}2%$ (in volume) of the additive package and the flammability of ethanol-diesel blend fuel with the additive has reached the neat diesel level under the cold start conditions. Effects of the ethanol content in diesel on fuel economy, combustion characteristics, and emission characteristics are also investigated with the ethanol blend ratios of 10%, 20% and 30%. The increase in ethanol content shows that the specific fuel consumption and the brake thermal efficiency are both gradually increased compared to neat diesel. The soot concentrations of the three blended fuels are all greatly lower than that of neat diesel. $NO_x$ emission is increased with an increase in the engine load and is reduced with the increase in the ethanol blend ratio under a high load.

In this study, a feasibility test of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) compression ignition (CI) engine has been carried out to study the effectiveness of cetane enhancing additive: Di-tertiary-butyl peroxide (DTBP). Performance and emissions characteristics of a CI engine fuelled with DTBP blended LPG fuel were examined. Also, the effect of EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) on the combustion and emissions characteristics has been investigated. Results showed that stable engine operation over a wide range of the engine loads was possible. Exhaust emissions measurements showed that hydrocarbon were decreased with the blended fuel at enhancing cetane number. Furthermore, the combustion stability of LPG with a cetane number improver was equivalent to that of commercial Diesel fuel. Increasing the EGR rate leads to deteriorate the IMEP (indicated mean effective pressure) and increase the ignition delay. It was found that the exhaust emissions with the EGR resulted in a very large reduction in nitrogen oxides at the expense of higher THC and CO emissions. Considering the results of engine performance and exhaust emissions, LPG blended fuel of enhancing cetane number could be used as an alternative fuel for diesel in a CI engine.
