Furfural Derivatives as Fuel Components
Furfural derivatives prepared from vegetable raw materials have recently become popular as high-performance fuel additives. Furfural oxygenates are particularly of interest. A lot of research has been devoted to preparing new materials from furfural, however, there is much to be discovered about their effect on physicochemical properties of fuels. The possibility of using furfural derivatives, obtained by their hydrogenation on copper and nickel catalysts with full conversion of furfural, as additives to fuel is considered in this article. Their impact on antiknock properties and chemical stability is evaluated. It has been found that futons are mostly effective in low-octane hydrocarbon bases, such as hydrocracking gasoline, at a concentration of 5-30 wt. %. A high concentration of potential resins can lead to the formation of deposits in the combustion chamber of the engine, which, in turn, requires additional research.
