ABSTRACT
Effect of 1,1-dibutoxybutane (DBB) addition on petroleum DF (diesel fuel) performance has been studied. The study was started by
preparing DBB from decomposition of 1-butanol on manganese impregnated on
activated carbon (Mn/AC) catalyst at 450 °C in stainless steel reactor. The product was distilled at 200 °C and the residue obtained was analyzed by GC-MS
and HSQC NMR to confirm its structure and purity. The DBB-DF mixtures were
prepared at different compositions and determined their excess molar volume,
homogeneity, phase stability, ignition quality, lubricity, cold flow quality,
energy content, and viscosity. The addition of DBB into DF formed a homogeneous
mixture and had a good phase stability. The mixtures gave positive excess molar
volume values over the whole concentration ranges. The ignition quality and
lubricity of the mixtures increased without lost in cold flow quality. Slight
decreased in viscosity and energy content per mass unit were observed.
