| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 環境工程研究所 === 93 === This study investigated the fuel properties, engine performances, and emissions of two biodiesels and diesel. The fuels examined were D100 (ultra-low sulfur diesel), B20 (20% palm biodiesel +80% ultra-low sulfur diesel) and B100 (palm biodiesel).
The fuel properties analysis results showed that the benefits of biodiesel were high cetane value, extremely low sulfur and aromatic contents, and good lubricity. While the defects of biodiesel were high pour point. The particulates emitted from the burning of D100, B100, B20 were mainly fine particulates, also known as young aerosols. Particles smaller than 2.5 µm easily enter the trachea and bronchus via the upper respiratory tract, finally deposit on the alveolus, which could cause severe injury to human health.
The emission of soluble organic fraction (SOF) from diesel engine using D100, B100 and B20 were 23.2%, 19.9% and 20.2%, respectively. The SOF of D100 is slightly higher than B100 and B20. It suggested that adding biodiesel into diesel can decrease SOF and thus reduce the potential danger to human health.
The original total PAHs concentration of tail gas emitted from engines using D100, B100 and B20 were 241, 50.6 and 98.8 µg/m3, respectively. Adding 20% biodiesel into D100 could reduce 59.0% of PAHs emission. Moreover, the original total BaPeq concentration of tail gas emitted from diesel engines using D100, B100 and B20 were 0.714, 0.509 and 0.570 µg/m3, respectively. Adding 20% biodiesel into D100 could also reduce 20.2% of total BaPeq emission. Hence, adding biodiesel into diesel can effectively reduce the emission of PAHs and the potential danger to human health.
The emission factors of carbonyl compounds from diesel engines using D100, B100 and B20 were 395, 1,170 and 326 mg/BHP-hr, respectively. carbonyl compounds of B100 were obviously higher than D100 and B20. The results indicated that using pure palm biodiesel in diesel engine can increased the emission of carbonyl compounds. However, adding 20% biodiesel into D100 can effectively reduce 17.5% of carbonyl compounds emission.
