Resumen: In order to contribute to the study of the behavior of 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF), a promising biofuel to be used as fuel or additive in automotive applications, an experimental and kinetic modeling study of the pyrolysis and oxidation of 2,5-DMF has been carried out using well controlled flow reactor installations. The influence of temperature, stoichiometry, 2,5-DMF concentration, and pressure has been analyzed. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism built from different literature sources was used to describe the pyrolysis and oxidation of 2,5-DMF under the experimental conditions studied. Results attained extend the existing experimental database on 2,5-DMF and, for the first time, its tendency to form soot is analyzed. Additionally, the effect of pressure, which would be of interest for the use of this compound as a part of diesel fuels, has been evaluated.
