Outline
Diesel fuel is one of the three most important transportation
fuels. Because diesel engines are inherently more thermally-efficient
than gasoline engines, it is expected that diesel demand and
utilization will increase more in the next few decades in the 21st
century. On the other hand, environmental regulations by governments
in many countries have been setting more and more strict standards on
compositions and properties of diesel fuels as well as emission
reductions from diesel engines. This book consists of 15 chapters
contributed by active researchers from industry, academia, and
national laboratories in several countries. The contents in can be
divided into five sections:
(1) General introduction,
(2) Characterization of diesel fuels,
(3) Chemical processing for cleaner diesel fuels,
(4) Diesel fuel additives, and
(5) Diesel emissions and reduction.
This is the first book that is focused on the chemical
aspects of diesel fuels covering the molecular composition and
properties of diesel fuels and their production and utilization as
well as catalysis related to diesel fuel processing, particularly on
deep desulfurization. Emission control, alternative diesel fuels as
well as bio-desulfurization of fuels are also covered in this book.
This book also provides an introductory overview of diesel
fuel chemistry. It includes the features of diesel engines and diesel
fuels, the properties and molecular composition of diesel fuels,
production of diesel fuels using different feedstocks and processes,
refining for cleaner diesel fuels by deep desulfurization and deep
hydrogenation, diesel fuel additives, diesel engine emissions,
emission reduction by fuel processing and exhaust gas treatments, and
alternative diesel fuels.
It is intended to cover both the fundamental principles and
the current status of the art, so that not only the experts but also
the beginning researchers and graduate students can appreciate the
technical contents of the book.
