Abstract
Described are methods for improving the efficiency or modifying the exhaust emissions of internal combustion engines, which involve the incorporation of selenium compounds in the fuel combusted in the engines. Also described are methods for improving the combustion efficiency of fuel oil by the inclusion of selenium therein.
Claims24
A method of enhancing fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine, comprising including in the fuel upon which the engine is operating an effective amount of a di-organic selenide.
A method of modifying the exhaust emission of an internal combustion engine operating on a fuel, comprising including in the fuel an effective amount of a di-organic selenide to modify said exhaust emission.
A modified internal combustion engine fuel which includes an effective amount of a di-organic selenide to increase the fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine operating on the fuel.
A modified internal combustion engine fuel which includes an effective amount of a di-organic selenide to abate the exhaust emission of carbon dioxide of an internal combustion engine operating on the fuel.
A method for increasing the thermal energy generated upon combusting fuel oil in a flame, comprising incorporating in the fuel oil an effective amount of selenium to increase the thermal energy generated when the fuel oil is combusted.
A method for improving the fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine, comprising operating the internal combustion engine by combusting a fuel for the engine incorporating an effective amount of a di-organic selenide to increase the fuel efficiency of the engine.
