Universidad de Zaragoza A study of dimethyl carbonate conversion and its impact to minimize soot and NO emissions 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Fuel reformulation through the use of oxygenated compounds e.g. dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is a potential option both to reduce the harmful soot emissions and to overcome the dependence on fossil fuels since many of them are bio-derived fuels. DMC presents a relative high oxygen content as compared with other additives and suitable characteristics to be used in combustion systems. The different fundamental aspects of the DMC combustion process including its oxidation behavior its tendency to produce soot and the role of the NO presence in the reaction system were studied. Experiments were conducted under well controlled conditions using specifically designed flow reactor systems. Results demonstrated the low tendency of DMC to form soot compared to other oxygenates and its capacity to contribute to NO reduction under specific fuel-rich conditions. Modeling calculations successfully reproduce reasonably well the experimental trends observed and emphasized the sensitivity of the results to the thermodynamic data of DMC and DMC derived species. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/CTQ2015-65226-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FPDI-2013-16172 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 5.336 2017 ENERGY & FUELS 16 / 97 = 0.165 2017 Q1 T1 THERMODYNAMICS 3 / 59 = 0.051 2017 Q1 T1 ENGINEERING, MECHANICAL 3 / 128 = 0.023 2017 Q1 T1 ENGINEERING, CHEMICAL 12 / 137 = 0.088 2017 Q1 T1 2.588 2017 Chemical Engineering (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 Physical and Theoretical Chemistry 2017 Q1 Mechanical Engineering 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Salinas, Pablo (orcid)0000-0001-5426-6486 Millera, Ángela Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5420-0943 Bilbao, Rafael.
