Abstract
The world is struggling to slow the rapid rise in pollution level in the environment resulting from advancements in technology and the subsequent negative effects. Engine emissions are among the major contributors, and many methodologies have been adopted to limit these emissions, such as adoption of new fuels, particularly oxygenated fuels. Ketones have shown promise as future fuel blending agents and are being evaluated by many researchers. This chapter deals with the utilization of ketone-based oxygenated fuels in internal combustion engines. The physicochemical properties, performance, and combustion and emission characteristics of ketone-based oxygenated fuels such as acetone, butanone, pentanone, cyclopentanone, and cyclohexanone are discussed. The overall performance of ketone-based oxygenated fuels is promising, and their utilization will increase substantially in the near future.
