Abstract
The present disclosure relates to diesel fuel emulsions, a process to make them and the use thereof in a combustion process. The emulsions are comprise a surfactant of formula wherein R is a C5-C22 linear or branched, saturated or non-saturated, substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, A is or CH2, each X, independently, is H, COOM or SO3M, with at least one X in the molecule being COOM or SO3M, each R2, independently, is H, CH3, or C2H5, k=0-3, each m, independently, is about 2-6, each n, independently, is about 1-6 and the alkylene formed when n>1 may be substituted with alkyl groups, o=0-40, and each M, independently, is selected from H and any cation M+.
Claims17
A diesel fuel emulsion comprising
- one or more surfactants of formula
- wherein
- R is a C5-C22 linear or branched, saturated or non-saturated, substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group,
- A is
- or CH2,
- each X is COOM,
- each R2, independently, is H, CH3, or C2H5,
- k=0-3,
- each m, independently, is 2-6,
- each n, independently, is 1-6, wherein if n>1 then the alkylene group can be optionally substituted with an alkyl group,
- o=0-40,
- each M, independently, is selected from H and any cation M+, whereby the oxygen attached to said cation is negatively charged and whereby the sum of all positive equals the sum of all negative charges,
- in an amount of from about 0.025 to about 10 percent by weight
- less than about 65 percent by weight of diesel,
- about 35 or more percent by weight of water, and
- optional additional components,
- up to a total of 100 percent by weight.
