A functional inorganic-additive modifier of the thermal conductivity of biofuel type alcohol anhydrous was developed based on an amorphous carbon nanocomposite containing dispersed zinc. Dispersion and modification of ...

Advanced biofuels, when used as components in fuels, offer advantages over fossil-based hydro-carbons and conventional biofuels to realize highly efficient and clean propulsion systems. Among the several chemical routes ...

The ethanol industry in Brazil is going through a period of stagnation, resulting in the reduction of ethanol supply. The ethanol for automotive purposes may be anhydrous, which is used as an anti-detonating additive to ...

In this work, we extend the Group Contribution with Association Equation of State (GCA-EOS) to model the phase behavior of mixtures comprising ethers and alcohols. The model parametrization was done using few binary ...

Rapid growth of biofuel production in the United States and Brazil over the past decade has increased interest in replicating this success in other nations of the Pan American region. However, the continued use of food-based ...

The development of alternative fuels for the aviation sector meets the global need to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). This sector alone has generated approximately 2% of global harmful gas emissions, with a ...

The catalytic etherification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) with t-butanol to a biofuel additive 5-(t-butoxymethyl) furfural (t-BMF) is studied by screening 27 heterogeneous protic and/or Lewis acids. Preyssler heteropolyacid ...

We used butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) combined with citric acid (CA), ascorbic acid (AA), and alizarin (ALZ) to form multifunctional additives, which improves BHT activity and even lowers its concentration by half. As a result, ...

This article critically reviews the electroanalytical methods devoted for the determination of organic compounds in automotive fuels that can range from contaminants to additives typically introduced into liquid biofuels ...
