“…In general, fuel-bound oxygen was found to promote soot oxidization, thus reducing soot emissions. One biofuel class discussed here, oxygenated aromatics, has been the subject of research at Eindhoven University of Technology for some years now. − McEnally and Pfefferle and de Andrade Oliveira have observed that the addition of oxygenated aromatics increases sooting tendency in diffusion flames. However, it has also been shown that oxygen addition decreases soot tendencies. , Boot et al have experimentally studied engine performance for various oxygenated fuels.…”

Soot particle size profiles of a laminar co-flow diffusion flame were determined using time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (TiRe-LII) for various fuels. In the fuel matrix, both the level (0–20 vol %) and type (oxygenated versus non-oxygenated) of aromaticity was varied. Motivation for this study was earlier engine research, which demonstrated that the addition of certain aromatic oxygenates, among which anisole and veratrole, to diesel fuel manifested in lower engine out particle emissions. The co-flow burner research conducted in this study may conclude that the presence of oxygenated aromatics, although less detrimental than the non-oxygenated variety, toluene, still manifested in both greater soot volume fractions and particle sizes than was the case for the aliphatic base fuel, n-heptane. Hereby, the effectiveness of aromatic ring oxygenation was most pronounced for the first functional oxygen group. The addition of a second functional oxygen had little impact on the results.
