Abstract:

The micro-structure and oxidation characteristics of combustion particulates in high pressure common rail diesel engine are analyzed for three types of biodiesel with different iodine values, respectively soybean oil methyl ester (SME), palm oil methyl ester (PME) and waste cooking oil methyl ester (WME), by using the EEPS particle size spectrometer, high-resolution transmission electron microscope and synchronous thermal analyzer. The results show that compared with diesel combustion particulate matter (PM), biodiesel PM has smaller particle size, higher aggregation degree and more disordered microcrystalline carbon layer, and lower initiation temperature (Ti), burnout temperature (Te) and peak temperature of maximum weight loss rate (Tp) . The box dimensions of PM of SME, PME and WME are 0.8%, 0.9% and 1.1% larger than that of diesel PM. Besides, compared with diesel PM, the average particle size decreases by 5.1%, 6.7%, 13.9% and the apparent activation energy decreases by 12.4%、13.4% and 16.9% respectively and the energy required for oxidation reaction decreases. With the decrease of iodine value of biodiesel, the quantity concentration of biodiesel combustion PM decreases, the box dimension increases, the internal carbon layer of PM becomes shorter and curved, and the oxidation activity increases.
