“…In addition, it was found that the addition of 2-MF and furfurylamine resulted in a reduction in HC and CO emissions compared to pure gasoline at the same air-to-fuel ratio. In another study by Wei et al [167], the combustion and emissions characteristics of a 10% 2-MF by volume blend with gasoline (M10) were compared with pure gasoline and an ethanol/gasoline blend (E10), in a four-stroke single-cylinder spark ignition engine at stoichiometric conditions. A relatively high in-cylinder maximum temperature and pressure was observed when M10 was used, which is due to its shorter combustion duration.…”

Abstract:There is growing interest in the use of furans, a class of alternative fuels derived from biomass, as transportation fuels. This paper reviews recent progress in the characterization of its combustion properties. It reviews their production processes, theoretical kinetic explorations and fundamental combustion properties. The theoretical efforts are focused on the mechanistic pathways for furan decomposition and oxidation, as well as the development of detailed chemical kinetic models. The experiments reviewed are mostly concerned with the temporal evolutions of homogeneous reactors and the propagation of laminar flames. The main thrust in homogeneous reactors is to determine global chemical time scales such as ignition delay times. Some studies have adopted a comparative approach to bring out reactivity differences. Chemical kinetic models with varying degrees of predictive success have been established. Experiments have revealed the relative behavior of their combustion. The growing body of literature in this area of combustion chemistry of alternative fuels shows a great potential for these fuels in terms of sustainable production and engine performance. However, these studies raise further questions regarding the chemical interactions of furans with other hydrocarbons. There are also open questions about the toxicity of the byproducts of combustion.

“…[240] Nevertheless,a lthough 12 carbonyl compounds were detected in the exhaust of 2,5-DMF combustion, these emissions were generally lower than with gasoline.A comparison of the fuels methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, 2,5-DMF,a nd gasoline showed that 2,5-DMF produced the lowest total carbonyl emissions and, most importantly,t he lowest emissions of the most harmful carbonyl compounds formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. [240] Acomparison of the combustion of 2-MF and gasoline in SI engines [107,246] showed that 2-MF generates reduced CO and HC emissions but some tendencies to increased NO x , which could be mitigated with cooled EGR, however. [107] The combustion characteristics of 2-MF in aDISI engine were also compared to those of 2,5-DMF,w ith 2-MF showing am ore favorable,l ower aldehyde emission.…”

Sustainably produced biofuels, especially when they are derived from lignocellulosic biomass, are being discussed intensively for future ground transportation. Traditionally, research activities focus on the synthesis process, while leaving their combustion properties to be evaluated by a different community. This Review adopts an integrative view of engine combustion and fuel synthesis, focusing on chemical aspects as the common denominator. It will be demonstrated that a fundamental understanding of the combustion process can be instrumental to derive design criteria for the molecular structure of fuel candidates, which can then be targets for the analysis of synthetic pathways and the development of catalytic production routes. With such an integrative approach to fuel design, it will be possible to improve systematically the entire system, spanning biomass feedstock, conversion process, fuel, engine, and pollutants with a view to improve the carbon footprint, increase efficiency, and reduce emissions.

“…Based on its very low DCN of 8.9, compared to n-heptane with a DCN of 53.8, 2-MF was proposed as a promising SI engine fuel. Combustion characteristics of 2-MF have been throughly investigated in SI engines [11,[13][14][15].…”
