Effects of oxidized biodiesel on formation of particulate matter and NOx from diesel engine
A test was conducted to investigate the effect of pure biodiesel without additives on formation of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. Pure biodiesel from waste cooking oil without adding any additive was used. The biodiesel was oxidized at 110 ℃ for 10 days and blended with commercial automobile diesel oil distributed in the market as a testing fuel. Blended fuels were produced by adding 10% of oxidized biodiesel and un-oxidized biodiesel to automobile diesel oil, respectively. Material properties such as density, kinematic viscosity, oxidation stability, and cetane number were tested. Emission tests were conducted using a large diesel engine of direct injection type, inline six-cylinder, 4 stroke, turbocharger and intercooler. The oxidized and unoxidized biodiesel blends did not show any difference in density and kinematic viscosity. The oxidation stability of the oxidized biodiesel blends was lower than that of the unoxidized biodiesel blends. In the emission test, the two blends showed almost no difference in the total number of concentration of the micro-particles, and also showed almost no difference in particle size distribution such as nucleation mode and accumulation mode. On the other hand, the oxidized biodiesel blends showed less PM and NOx emission than the unoxidized biodiesel blends.
