ABSTRACT

Ecofriendly and stable Fuel Microemulsions based on renewable components were prepared through solubilizing ethanol in diesel and waste cooking oil blend (4:1). New diquaternary ammonium ionic liquids (3a & 3b) were synthesized through a quaternization reaction of the synthesized dihaloester with diethyl ethanolamine tridecantrioate and triethyl amine tridecantrioate, respectively. The chemical structures were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. It was observed from DLS analyses that the ethanol particles in all samples have sizes between 4.77 to 11.22 nm. The distribution becomes narrower with the decrease in the ionic liquid concentrations. The fuel properties fall within the ASTM D975 acceptable specifications and are close to the neat diesel properties. The Cetane index were 53 and 53.5, heating values were 38.5 and 38.5 MJ/kg, viscosities were 2.91 and 2.98 mm2/s, densities were 8.26 and 8.29 g/mL and flash points were 49 °C and 48 °C for 3a1 and 3b1 microemulsions, respectively. The particle sizes of samples were examined by DLS for 160 days and they were significantly stable. The amount of ethanol solubilized increases with the increase in the amount of the synthesized ionic liquids and cosurfactant. The combustion calculations pointed out that the microemulsions 3a1 and 3b1 need 13.07 kg air/kg fuel and 12.79 kg air/kg fuel, respectively, which are less than the air required to combust the pure diesel. According to theoretical combustion, using ionic liquids saves the air consumption required for combustion and reduces the quantities of combustion products. The prepared microemulsions were successfully used as a diesel substitute due to their improved combustion properties than pure diesel and low pollution levels.

ABSTRACT

The mazout properties were improved using ecofriendly ways because of its wide range of applications, abundance and low cost. In this study, the effect of biodiesel blending on the properties of mazout was investigated. Biodiesel was prepared from waste cooking oil. The mazout properties such as viscosity and density improved with the increase in volume ratio of biodiesel to mazout. The mazout viscosity decreases with an average value of 12% as the biodiesel is added with a volume ratio of 10%. In contrast, when a 10% volume ratio of the biodiesel is added to mazout, the heating value decreases by 1.5%. Although the calorific value of mazout decreases after the blending process, the blending method is considered a method that saves energy compared to the heating method to reduce the viscosity. The cost of improved mazout depends on the cost of biodiesel production. The more the cost of biodiesel production approaches the cost of mazout, the more expensive the use of the blending method compared to the heating method. Moreover, the blending method is a very effective method to reduce the percentages of harmful compounds such as sulfur, and the compound percentages that occupy volumetric proportions of fuel such as water content.

ABSTRACT

The corrosion performance of carbon steel was tested in four polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) that differed only in the fatty acid linked to the chitosan (CS) amine group. The measurements were implemented involved the hydrogen evolution rate (HER), gravimetric measurements, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and quantum chemical estimations. The morphology and the elements arranged on the metal were considered by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) system attached to an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) system. The addition of polymeric ionic liquids hindered the rate of hydrogen generation. The order of the inhibitors efficiency was CSPTA-lauric > CSPTA-myristic > CSPTA-palmitic > CSPTA-stearic. The polarization method proved that the percentage inhibition efficiency increases with increasing the inhibitors concentration in 1 M HCl, representing a drop in the corrosion rate of carbon steel. On the other hand, the percentage inhibition decreased with the increase in temperature. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the tested ionic liquids could react with the iron surface via electron transfer from the metal atom to ionic liquid molecule.
