Abstract
Environmental legislation concerning the aromatic and sulfur content of gasoline and diesel fuels is becoming more and more restrictive. For that reason, the study of processes obtaining diesel with a low content of sulfur is of great interest. Among them, the acid catalyzed oligomerization of light olefins appears as a promising way for diesel manufacture. In this work, products obtained by oligomerization of feedstocks with different amounts of sulfur and nitrogen compounds and a FCC naphta were analyzed and compared with a reference diesel fuel. Distillation curves (SDA) were determined and showed similar boiling point ranges. Molecular weights, measured from gel permeation chromatography (GPC), showed average values around C11. The n-paraffin content was very low as it was qualitative determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC−MS). Moreover, GC−MS results confirm the average molecular weight (around C11) determined by GPC analysis. The cetane ...
