A unifying methodology for gasoline-grade biofuel from several renewable and sustainable gasoline additives

Abstract

To increase thermal efficiency and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, the research of fuel formulation and combustion processes for internal combustion engines has drawn attention from all across the world. The aim of the current study is divided into two subsections. The first of this section's two subsections is to thoroughly assess the impacts of physical and chemical properties of different mixtures of several gasoline octane boosters on low petroleum hydrocarbon products. Additionally, the creation of bio-gasoline fuels with high environmental octane ratings using various combinations of specific gasoline octane boosters is covered in the second of this section's two subsections. The gasoline additives included di-isobutylene (DIB), methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), and isopropanol (IP). Furthermore, low petroleum gasoline fractions involved naphtha from natural gas condensate (N), light straight-run naphtha (LSRN), and hydrocracked gasoline (HG). In the current study, those renewable and sustainable gasoline additives and low petroleum hydrocarbon gasoline fractions were blended and examined as an innovative gasoline biofuel for gasoline engines for the first time. The experimental findings indicated that the octane number might be used to vary the antidetonation performance in the following order: ethanol> MTBE > Di-isobutylene > isopropanol > dimate > light straight-run naphtha > hydrocracked gasoline > naphtha from natural gas condensate > heavy straight run naphtha. Five different blends were applied and the physical and chemical characterizations of each blend separately in detail were investigated. The experimental results reported that octane numbers by research method for samples one, two, three, four, and five were 90.3, 92, 95.3, 98, and 100.2, respectively.
