Abstract:
A Coal-to-Liquid Fuels production process by which carbon dioxide (CO2) exhaust by-products are significantly reduced, if not eliminated, through a system comprising the generation of a first hydrogen (H2) product and carbon from coal and generating carbon monoxide (CO) by reacting the Carbon (C) with CO2. A second hydrogen (H2) product is generated through catalyzation of water, methane reformation, electrolysis of water, or other reaction processes. Carbon monoxide (CO) is reacted with the first and second hydrogen (H2) products to form a first hydrocarbon group having Olefins. The first hydrocarbon group, as Olefins, are further reacted to form C1-40 alcohols, Kerosene, Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, and Jet Fuel, and combinations thereof. At least a portion of the finished fuel blends are optionally used to generate electricity for use in the fuels production process or for distribution to an external power grid. Kerosene, Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, and/or Jet Fuel are optionally blended with C1-C40 alcohol combinations for most efficient utilization of all available Carbon and to improve combustion characteristics of the finished fuels.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an additive composition for a combustible fuel to produce improved combustion and reduced exhaust pollution of the combusted fuel, which additive composition comprises: a) one or more water-soluble alcohols having between 1 and 5 carbon atoms, in an anhydrous state or as a 0.5-36% aqueous solution, and one or more of the following: b) one or more straight- or branched-chain alcohols having between 6-18 carbon atoms; c) one or more ethoxylated alcohols having between 12 and 18 carbon atoms where the ethylene oxide add-on is less than 5 moles; d) a fatty acid of the structure R—(C═O)—OH having from 10 to 24 carbon atoms with e) a source of nitrogen in an anhydrous state or as an aqueous solution; wherein components a) to e), when combined with mixing with said combustible fuel, form a clear, stable microemulsion having a viscosity similar to the liquid fossil fuel. Combustion is improved and pollutant and particulate levels are reduced.
