Research on emissions controlling of coal-made Fischer–Tropsch process diesel/methanol unconventional pollutants

Abstract

ABSTRACT Thirty unconventional gaseous substances in Fischer–Tropsch process diesel/methanol-mixed fuel with different methanol blending ratios were measured and classified for diesel engine pollutant discharge. The measurement results showed high concentrations of several unconventional pollutants, including propylene, 1,3 butadiene, acrolein, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene, accounting for approximately 83% of the total concentration. The methanol blending ratio was increased from 0 to 15%, the amounts of unconventional pollutants such as olefins, alkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons were decreased by 38.4%, 27.7%, and 23.7%, respectively, and the amounts of aldehydes and ketones were increased by 31.2%. The amounts of unconventional pollutants such as 1,3 butadiene, n-hexane, and benzene were decreased by 36.6%, 28.8%, and 29.2%, and the amount of acrolein was increased by 28.7%. At maximum torque, aromatic hydrocarbon emissions were reduced by 23.8%, aldehyde and ketone emissions were reduced by 44.8%, olefin emissions were increased by 142.8%, and alkane emissions were reduced by 14.5%; compared to maximum torque conditions, olefins under calibration category emissions were increased by 41.2%, alkane emissions were increased by 8.8%, aromatic hydrocarbon emissions were increased by 9.5%, and aldehyde and ketone emissions were increased by 25%.
