Abstract: High energy (e.g., ultrasonic) mixing of a hydrocarbon feedstock and reactants comprised of an oxidation source, acid, and optional catalyst yields a liquid hydrocarbon product having increased cetane number. Ultrasonic mixing creates cavitation, which involves formation and violent collapse of micron-sized bubbles, which greatly increases reactivity of the reactants. Cavitation substantially increases cetane number compared to reactions carried out using conventional mixing processes, such as simple mechanical stirring. An aqueous mixture comprising water and acid can be pretreated with ozone or other oxidizer using ultrasonic cavitation prior to reacting the pretreated mixture with a hydrocarbon feedstock to promote cetane-increasing reactions. Controlling temperature inside the reactor promotes beneficial cetane-increasing reactions while minimizing formation of water-soluble sulfones.

Abstract translation: 烃原料和由氧化源，酸和任选的催化剂组成的反应物的高能量（例如超声波）混合产生具有增加的十六烷值的液体烃产物。 超声波混合产生气蚀，其包括微小尺寸气泡的形成和剧烈塌陷，这大大增加了反应物的反应性。 与使用常规混合方法如简单机械搅拌进行的反应相比，气蚀显着增加了十六烷值。 在使预处理的混合物与烃原料反应以促进十六烷增加的反应之前，可以用臭氧或其它氧化剂在超声空化中预处理包含水和酸的含水混合物。 反应器内的控制温度促进有益的十六烷增加反应，同时最小化水溶性砜的形成。
