Abstract
This paper deals with the formation of emulsion fuels and their evaluation as boiler fuels. The results of this evaluation show that the emulsion fuels are compatible with the corresponding fuel oil. The prepared emulsion fuels were fuel oil-water emulsions with calorific values of 33.9–42.3 MJ kg −1 and fuel oil-water-charcoal emulsions with calorific values of 30.6–37.8 MJ kg −1. These emulsion fuels have relatively low sulfur and wax contents, undergo the water gas shift reaction during combustion and make use of solid charcoal. The results also show that the presence of surfactants in the emulsion fuels acts as an inhibitor of the corrosion activity of the water and fuel oil.
