“…The high BSFC causes an increase in NOx as a result of more fuel-air mixture being taken into the cylinder to provide the power corresponding to the unit volume and therefore the increase in the in-cylinder combustion end temperatures. Similar studies and similar results triggering NOx increase were obtained by other researchers [1,12,19,21,32]. Fig.…”

“…In many state management policies, there are strategic man-agement policies to reduce harmful emission values and reduce the carbon footprints of countries. In this context, emission reduction studies are becoming more important day by day and lead researchers to search for interesting alternatives [1,2]. Fusel oil is the waste liquid left over from the production of ethyl alcohol obtained from molasses formed after sugar beet production.…”

Although fossil fuel reserves have been decreasing day by day, the high carbon emissions of fossil-based vehicles and the fact that these carbon emissions trigger global warming cause researchers to focus on alternative fuels. CO and HC, which form the exhaust emissions of motor vehicles, called unburned fuel, have been, threatened human health. Efforts to reduce CO2, which triggers global warming, and NOx emissions, which turn into acid rain, are increasing day by day. It is tried to reduce harmful exhaust emissions by mixing ethanol, methanol, propanol, butanol and their derivatives fuels as alcohol-based fuels in motor fuels in certain proportions. The aim of this study is to investigate the usability of waste fusel oil and plant-based methanol as an alternative fuel in internal combustion engines without the need for any auxiliary system and investigate the effects of fusel oil and methanol fuels added to gasoline on engine performance and emissions. In the experimental study, as engine performance, it was determined that the engine torque decreased by 11.62% in F20 fuel and 6.45% in M20 fuel compared to G fuel.While an increase in BSFC values was detected in both test fuels, there was a decrease in EGT values.According to the emission results, an average decrease of 7.31% in F20 fuel and 13.40% in M20 fuel was detected in CO values compared to G fuel, while an increase in CO2 and NOx values occurred.

“…Similarly, gasoline from pyrolysis of waste tires had very similar parameters like standard gasoline from a petrol station. The calorific value of standard gasoline is 42 ÷ 47.3 MJ/kg [50,[52][53][54]. During the pyrolysis of waste plastics, there was minimal production of solid carbon.…”

Pyrolysis Conversion of Polymer Wastes to Noble Fuels in Conditions of the Slovak Republic

This paper deals with the pyrolysis conversion of synthetic waste materials into noble fuels, i.e., heating oils, gasoline, diesel, and carbon. The following article presents the principle and use of pyrolysis conversion of waste tires and plastics. The core of the paper is the determination of energy properties of noble fuels obtained from pyrolysis conversion and the possibility of their real use in industry. The aim of this paper is a technical-economic evaluation of the use of waste pyrolysis in practice in the Slovak Republic. Unlike various methods of waste management, there are also more efficient methods, which primarily have a positive effect on the ecology of our Earth and at the same time can be effectively used for the production of alternative fuels. One of these methods is the pyrolysis conversion of synthetic waste materials into noble fuels. It is an ecological, waste-free, economical, and economical disposal of waste with a full recovery of its energy and material components with reduced emissions, and therefore this direction of using synthetic waste for the conversion of alternative fuels contributes to sustainable development. A significant advantage of this waste management is considered to be the fact that only waste tires or chlorine-free plastics are used as input materials without other necessary raw materials obtained by other economic activity. Tires and plastics are generated daily as waste in every household.

“…Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 present the HC emission value and the removal efficiency using different materials ( Table 3 ) and at various locations ( Figure 2 and Figure 3 ) of the NTP reactor. The HC emissions are known to be a result of the poor combustion of the fuel [ 24 ]. We found that the control voltage of 2 to 5 V in the NTP system could reduce the HC emissions at different engine speeds.…”

An Analysis of Exhaust Emission of the Internal Combustion Engine Treated by the Non-Thermal Plasma

et al. 2020

Industries’ air pollution causes serious challenges to modern society, among them exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, which are currently one of the main sources. This study proposes a non-thermal plasma (NTP) system for placement in the exhaust system of internal combustion engines to reduce the toxic contaminants (HC, CO, and NOx) of exhaust gases. This NTP system generates a high-voltage discharge that not only responds to the ion chemical reaction to eliminate NOx and CO, but that also generates a combustion reaction at the local high temperature of plasma to reduce HC. The NTP system was designed on both the front and rear of the exhaust pipe to analyze the difference of different exhaust flow rates under the specified frequency. The results indicate that the NTP system can greatly reduce toxic contaminants. The NTP reactor placed in the front of exhaust pipe gave HC and CO removal efficiency of about 34.5% and 16.0%, respectively, while the NTP reactor placed in the rear of exhaust pipe gave NOx removal efficiency of about 41.3%. In addition, the voltage and material directly affect the exhaust gases obviously. In conclusion, the proposed NTP system installed in the exhaust system can significantly reduce air pollutants. These results suggest that applying NTP to the combustion engine should be a useful tool to simultaneously reduce both emissions of NOx and CO.
