Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of individual hydrocarbons in gasoline and to clarify the effect of the gasoline composition on engine-out exhaust hydrocarbons. Experiments were performed on a single cylinder research engine operating under steady state condition. The test fuels were blended gasolines of alkylate, catalytic reformate and fluid catalytic cracking gasoline. Chemically defined binary fuel mixtures of isooctane, benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene were used as variables to study their impact on exhaust hydrocarbons. The individual exhaust hydrocarbon species were analyzed using a gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector. The results of tests with blended gasoline indicated that the exhaust hydrocarbons were classified into the unburned fuel and the cracked products such as methane, ethane and various olefins. The production coefficients of benzene were 5% for toluene, 4% for xylene and 6% for ethylbenzene. These values suggested that alkylbenzene in the fuel produced benzene in the exhaust. 8 refs., 16 figs., 5 tabs.

A process under development by Amoco Chemicals Corp. for increasing the yields of benzene and xylenes from the C/sub 7/-C/sub 8/ fraction of pyrolysis gasoline

Conference Feinstein, A; Im, U - Am. Chem. Soc., Div. Pet. Chem., Prepr.; (United States)

A process for increasing the yields of benzene and xylenes from the C/sub 7/-C/sub 8/ fraction of pyrolysis gasoline, the aromatics conversion (AC) process, involves mixing the feed with hydrogen and recycle toluene and features a catalyst which can simultaneously disproportionate the toluene to benzene and xylenes, hydrodeethylate the ethylbenzene to benzene and ethane, and crack the C/sub 7/-C/sub 9/ nonaromatics to mainly C/sub 2/-C/sub 4/ alkanes without destroying xylenes.

ZSM-5 in catalytic cracking: Riser pilot plant gasoline composition analyses

Conference Pappal, D; Schipper, P - American Chemical Society, Division of Petroleum Chemistry, Preprints; (United States)

ZSM-5, Mobil's proprietary shape-selective zeolite, has been used commercially in synthetic fuels (methanol-to-gasoline), petrochemicals (xylene isomerization, toluene disproportionation, benzene alkylation) and in petroleum refining (lube and distillate dewaxing). Using these examples, Chen and Garwood have demonstrated the shape selective behavior of this catalyst. In the dewaxing process, for example, ZSM-5 preferentially cracks the straight chain paraffins; substantially improves the pour and cloud points while retaining high distillate yields. Since 1983, ZSM-5 has been used in catalytic cracking to increase both the research and motor octanes and the production of light olefins. These olefins can then increase the yields of alkylate,more »« less
Performance and Regulated/Unregulated Emission Evaluation of a Spark Ignition Engine Fueled with Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol and Gasoline Blends

Journal Article Li, Yuanxu; Ning, Zhi; Lee, Chia-fon; ... - Energies

An experimental investigation was conducted on the effect of equivalence ratios and engine loads on performance and emission characteristics using acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) and gasoline blends. Gasoline blends with various ABE content (0 vol % to 80 vol % ABE, referred to as G100, ABE10, ABE20, ABE30, ABE60, and ABE80, respectively) were used as test fuels, where the volumetric concentration of A/B/E was 3:6:1. The experiments were conducted at engine loads of 3, 4, 5, and 6 bar brake mean effective pressure at an engine speed of 1200 rpm and under various equivalence ratios (Φ = 0.83–1.25). The results showed thatmore »« less

FCC Tail Gas olefins conversion to gasoline via catalytic distillation with aromatics

Conference Partin, E

The goal of every refiner is to continually improve profitability by such means as increasing gasoline production, increasing gasoline octane pool and in cases where fuel balance becomes a problem, decreasing refinery fuel gas production. A new refinery process is currently being developed which accomplish these goals. Chemical Research and Licensing Company (CR and L) developed Catalytic Distillation technology in 1978 to produce MTBE. They have since used the Catalytic Distillation technique to produce cumene. CR and L has further developed this technology to convert olefin gases currently consumed as refinery fuel, to high octane gasoline components. The process, knownmore »« less
Speciated hydrocarbon emissions from the combustion of single component fuels. 1. Effect of fuel structure

Journal Article Siegel, W; McCabe, R; Chun, W; ... - Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association; (United States)

Speciated hydrocarbon emissions data have been collected for six single-component fuels run in a laboratory pulse flame combustor (PFC). The six fuels include n-heptane, isoctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane), cyclohexane, 1-hexene, toluene, and methyl-t-butyl ether. Combustion of non-aromatic fuels in the PFC produced low levels of unburned fuel and high yields of methane and olefins irrespective of the molecular structure of the fuel. In contrast, hydrocarbon emissions from toluene combustion in the PFC were comprised predominantly of unburned fuel. With the PFC, low levels of 1,3-butadiene were observed from all the fuels except MTBE, for which no measurable level was detected; low levelsmore »« less
