  • Identification of Promising Alternative Mono-Alcohol Fuel Blend
    energies Article Identification of Promising Alternative Mono-Alcohol Fuel Blend Components for Spark Ignition Engines Saeid Aghahossein Shirazi 1, Thomas D. Foust 1,2 and Kenneth F. Reardon 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA; [email protected] (S.A.S.); [email protected] (T.D.F.) 2 National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO 80401, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 24 March 2020; Accepted: 12 April 2020; Published: 15 April 2020 Abstract: Alcohols are attractive fuel blendstocks for spark ignition engines due to their high octane values and potentially positive influence on performance and emission. Although methanol, ethanol, and butanol have been widely studied, other biomass-derived alcohols may have similar or better properties. However, it is not feasible to experimentally investigate the fuel potential of every molecule. The goals of this study were to develop a methodology for rapid screening of a fuel property database for mono-alcohols and to identify alcohols with the potential of blending to produce advantaged motor gasolines. A database was developed with 13 fuel properties of all saturated C1–C10 mono-alcohols. A decision framework was used to evaluate alcohols suitable for blending in gasoline for spark ignition engines in two scenarios: low-range (up to 15 vol%) blends and high-range (greater than 40 vol%) blends. The low-range blend cases resulted in the identification of 48 alcohols. In the case of high-range blending, only six alcohols were found to be suitable. This is the first study to systematically evaluate all C1–C10 saturated alcohols for blending with gasoline using relevant fuel properties.

  • Butenes Separation, Supp. A
    PROCESS ECONOMICS PROGRAM SRI INTERNATIONAL Menlo Park, California 94025 Abstract Process Economics Program Report No. 71A BUTTLENES (October 1982) Demand is fast increasing for lsobutylene, especially that used in manufacturing methyl tertiary-butyl ether, and for high purity butene-1 to use as a copolymer in linear low density polyethylene. Because of their wide availability, mixed butane-butylene streams from oleflns plants and petroleum refineries are being increasingly fed to plants to separate butylenes for use in chemicals. This first supplement to Report No. 71 updates demand projections, production capacities, and separation techniques for high purity butene-1 and lsobutylene. The processes that are now available for separating and purifying both butene-1 and lsobutylene from mixed butyl- ene streams are evaluated and compared. Other procedures for obtaining butylenes, such as dehydrogenatlon, lsomerleatlon, and disproportion&ion, are not updated in this report. PEP’81 JLC Report No. 71A - BUTYLENES SUPPLEMENT A by JOHN L.

Alkanes? 5.3 What Are the Mechanisms of Electrophilic Additions HOW TO to Alkenes? 5.1 How to Draw Mechanisms 5.4 What Are Carbocation Rearrangements? 5.5 What Is Hydroboration–Oxidation of an Alkene? CHEMICAL CONNECTIONS 5.6 How Can an Alkene Be Reduced to an Alkane? 5A Catalytic Cracking and the Importance of Alkenes 5.7 How Can an Acetylide Anion Be Used to Create a New Carbon–Carbon Bond? IN THIS CHAPTER, we begin our systematic study of organic reactions and their mecha- nisms. Reaction mechanisms are step-by-step descriptions of how reactions proceed and are one of the most important unifying concepts in organic chemistry. We use the reactions of alkenes as the vehicle to introduce this concept. 129 130 CHAPTER 5 Reactions of Alkenes and Alkynes 5.1 What Are the Characteristic Reactions of Alkenes? The most characteristic reaction of alkenes is addition to the carbon–carbon double bond in such a way that the pi bond is broken and, in its place, sigma bonds are formed to two new atoms or groups of atoms. Several examples of reactions at the carbon–carbon double bond are shown in Table 5.1, along with the descriptive name(s) associated with each.

The acid-base and redox properties of VAlON depend on their nitrogen content, as well as on the V/Al ratio of the reactive precursor. The influence of these parameters over the catalytic properties of VAlON for 1-butanol dehydration/dehydrogenation was studied. For the studied samples, the only detected products were 1-butene, butane and butanal. The presence of butane as a major product could be explained by a hydrogen transfer mechanism. INTRODUCTION∗ nitrogen species, may cause important differences in the catalytic behavior .6 Oxynitride systems become extensively studied The reactivity of 1-butanol over catalysts has as a new class of catalysts because of their been extensively used to evaluate the nature, the particular acid-base properties.
