  • In this study, it was tried to analyze not only total hydrocarbon but individual hydrocarbon components from C$_1$to C$\sub$6/ in exhaust gas using gas chromatography to seek the reason fur remarkable differences of smoke emission of diesel fuel, esterfied rice bran oil and blended fuel(esterfied rice bran oil 20vo1-% + diesel fuel 80vo1-%). Individual hydrocarbons(C$_1$ ∼C$\sub$6/) as well as total hydrocarbon of esterfied rice bran oil is reduced remarkably compared with diesel fuel. Although smoke emission of esterfied rice bran oil reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel, NOx emission of esterfied rice bran oil and blended fuel was increased slightly at high loads and speeds. And, it was tried to reduced NOx emission of them by exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) method. Simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx emission was achieved with the combination of esterfied rice bran oil and EGR method in consequence.

  • The use of inedible vegetable oils as substitute for diesel fuel in compression ignition engine is of significance because of the great need for edible oil as food, and the reduction of biodiesel production cost etc. Jatropha curcas oil which is a leading candidate for the commercialization of inedible vegetable oils is selected in this study for reviewing the application in CI engine as an alternative fuel. The important properties of jatropha oil (JO) and JO biodiesel are summarized from the various sources in the literature. It is found that five different types of alternative fuel from JO such as neat JO, JO blends with diesel or other fuel, neat JO biodiesel, JO biodiesel blends with diesel or other fuel and degummed JO were extensively examined in the diesel engine. Two different application types of alternative fuels from JO such as preheating and dual fuelling were also tested, It should be pointed out that most of these applications are limited to single cylinder conditions. The systematic study for the selection of effective application method is required. It is clear that the blends of JOME and diesel can replace diesel fuel up to 10% by volume for running the existing common rail direct injection systems without any durability problems. The systematic assessment of spray characteristics of different types of JO and its derivatives for use as diesel engine fuel is also required.

  • 티타늄이 그라프팅(grafting)된 SBA-15 촉매(Ti-grafted SBA-15)상에서 TBHP(tert-butylhydroperoxide)를 산화제로 사용하여 회분식 반응기에서 모델 황화합물 및 실제 디젤 유분(LCO; Light Cylcle Oil)의 선택산화탈황(ODS; Oxidative Desulfurization) 반응을 수행하였으며, 티타늄 함량, 산화제/황의 몰비, 반응온도의 효과 및 반응속도상수와 활성화 에너지를 조사하였다. 티타늄이 5 wt% 도입된 Ti-grafted SBA-15 촉매는 난분해성 황화합물인 디벤조티오펜(DBT; Dibenzothiophene)과 4, 6-디메틸디벤조티오펜(4, 6-Dimethyldibenzothiophene)의 설폰(sulfone) 화합물로의 산화반응 시 표준반응조건(TBHP/S=2.5, $80^{\circ}C$, 1 atm)에서 반응개시 후 20분 뒤 100% 전환되는 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 실제 디젤유분인 LCO를 원료로 성능 시험을 한 결과 활성이 우수하게 나타났으며 Ti-grafted SBA-15 촉매는 LCO에 함유 되어 있는 난분해성 황화합물의 선택적 산화탈황촉매로써 응용 가능성을 보였다.

  • Biodiesel have been studied as alternative fuel due to solution of air pollution and fossil fuel exhaustion. Biodiesel from animal fat and vegetable oil was known as eco-friendly fuel like low toxicity, biodegradable compare to petrodiesel. In particular, biodiesel have excellent lubricity due to involved ester functional group. This paper shows the biodiesel's lubricity based on worldwide biodiesel research.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a $CO_2$ emission factor for refuse plastic fuel (RPF) combustion facilities, and calculate the $CO_2$ emissions from these facilities. The $CO_2$ reduction from using these facilities was analyzed by comparing $CO_2$ emission to facilities using fossil fuels. The average $CO_2$ emission factor from RPF combustion facilities was 59.7 Mg $CO_2$/TJ. In addition, fossil fuel and RPF use were compared using net calorific value (NCV). Domestic RPF consumption in 2011 was 240,000 Mg/yr, which was compared to fossil fuels using NCV. B-C oil use, which has the same NCV, was equal to RPF use. In contrast, bituminous and anthracite were estimated at 369,231 Mg/yr and 355,556 Mg/yr, respectively. In addition, the reduction in $CO_2$ emissions due to the alternative fuel was analyzed. $CO_2$ emissions were reduced by more than 350 Mg $CO_2$/yr compared to bituminous and anthracite. We confirmed that using RPF, an alternative fuel, can reduce $CO_2$ emissions.

  • In recently, lots of researcher have been attached to develope various alternative fuels and to use renewable fuels for solution of the exhaust emission problems. In this study, the usability of used vegetable oil as alternative fuel for diesel engines has been investigated. This paper was compared with the exhaust emissions and performance in diesel engine with used vegetable oil and conventional diesel fuel. Since the vegetable oil includes oxygen of about 10%, it influenced the combustion process strongly. So, the smoke emissions of used vegetable oil were exhausted to be lower than those of diesel fuel. Also, the used vegetable oil was much the same cycle to cycle variation with diesel fuel except $P_{(dP}$d.theta.)max/, but the cycle to cycle variation of used vegetable oil was reduced significantly by preheating of the fuel and swirling of the intake air. It was concluded that used vegetable oil could be utilized effectively as renewable fuel for diesel engine.e.

  • The oil crises in 1973 and 1978 stimulated the alternative fuel research activities in many countries around the world. Among the alternative fuels, methanol is one of the highest potential fuels for transportation. Methanol has been considered for use as automotive fuel, but it has a defect of the great latent vaporization heat. Therefore, authors have made the fuel vaporizing device in order to eliminate the fuel film flow heating the mixture. This paper presents a study on the characteristics of vaporization, engine performance, and emission which result from using the fuel vaporizing device.

  • 접촉분해경유의 산화반응후 포함된 산화황화합물을 분리하기위해 다양한 용매를 사용하여 용매추출에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 용매로는 극성을 가진 물, N-메틸피놀리논, 에틸아세테이트, 디메틸포름아마이드, 이소프로필알코올, 아세토니트릴, 메탄올등을 사용하였다. 실험결과, 접촉분해경유와 용매와의 층분리는 적절한 양의 물을 첨가한 경우에 이루어졌으며, 물과 N-메틸피놀리논을 혼합한 혼합용매가 접촉분해경유로부터 산화황화합물의 선택적인 분리에 가장 적절하였다. 또한 접촉분해경유로부터 황화합물을 99.5% 이상으로 제거하기 위해선, 4단 정도의 평형추출이 필요하였다.

  • The smoke emission of diesel engines is being recognized as one of the major source of the air pollution problems. This study investigates the potential of esterified rice bran oil to reduce smoke emission as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. Because the esterified rice bran oil has approximately a 10.5% oxygen content, the combustion of the diesel engine improved and exhaust smoke decreased. Gas chromatography was used to analyze not only the total amount of hydrocarbon but also the amount of hydrocarbon components from $C_1$ to $C_6$ in the exhaust gas to determine an exact source responsible for the remarkable reduction in the smoke emission. The number of individual hydrocarbon($C_1{\sim}C_6$) as well as the total amount of hydrocarbon of esterified rice bran oil reduced significantly compared to that of hydrocarbon of diesel fuel.
