The emission of carbon monoxide, greenhouse gases (e.g., dioxides), hydrocarbon, and particulate matter can be reduced by applying oxygenated additives as a blend to combustible hydrocarbon fuels. However, conventional oxygenates, such dimethyl ether methyl t-butyl ether, are sourced from non-renewable feedstocks. This study presents critical review on the catalytic synthesis furanic compounds,...

Peter Diakow Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada Synopsis Dimethyl-ether (C2H6O) a common hydrocarbon is increasingly being used as a transportation fuel and as an aerosol propellant, very limited explosion safety data is available for this fuel. Experiments were performed to determine the detonation characteristics of dimethyl-ether air mixt...

The depletion of fossil energy sources and the legislation regarding emission control demand use alternative fuels rapid progression aftertreatment technologies. study dimethyl ether (DME) catalytic oxidation is important in this respect, as DME a promising clean fuel at same time VOC pollutant present tail gases industrial processes. In work, copper ferrite catalysts synthesized via citrate co...

Directly synthesising dimethyl ether (DME) from CO2 hydrogenation is a promising technique for efficiently utilising as feedstock to produce clean fuel. The main challenges in this process are the low conversion and DME selectivity of catalyst its deactivation over time due sintering, aggregation, coke formation, water adsorption. This study aimed develop dual-functional, halloysite nanotube-su...
