An experimental and computational study of methyl ester decomposition pathways using shock tubes

The high-temperature decomposition of three simple methyl esters: methyl acetate, methyl propionate and methyl butanoate, were studied behind reflected shock waves using tunable diode laser absorption of CO₂ near 2.7 μm. CO₂ yield measurements were made over the range of temperatures 1260-1653 K, pressures of 1.4-1.7 atm and reactant concentrations of 2-3%, with the balance Ar. The CO₂ absorption strengths near 2.7 μm are approximately 50 to 1000 times stronger than the bands near 2.0 and 1.55 μm, respectively, and offer opportunities for significantly more sensitive and accurate combustion measurements than previous absorption work using CO₂ bands at shorter wavelength. The experiments provide the first laser-based time-history measurements of the CO₂ yields during pyrolysis of these bio-diesel surrogate fuels in a shock tube. Model predictions for CO₂ yields during methyl butanoate pyrolysis at high temperatures, using the detailed reaction mechanisms of [E. M. Fisher, W. J. Pitz, H. J. Curran, C. K. Westbrook, Proc. Combust. Inst. 28 (2000) 1579-1586.] and others, are significantly lower than those measured in this study. However, an improved methyl butanoate model which extends the recent theoretical work of [L.K. Huynh, A. Violi, J. Org. Chem. 73 (2008) 94-101.] provides substantially improved predictions of CO₂ yields during methyl butanoate pyrolysis. As earlier mechanisms predicted low yields of CO₂ from methyl butanoate decomposition, these new findings imply that existing bio-diesel fuel models, which rely on the rapid formation of two oxygenate radicals from methyl esters (rather than a single non-reactive CO₂ molecule) to account for the tendency for soot reduction, may have to be revisited.     

Ignition and extinction of low molecular weight esters in nonpremixed flows

An experimental and kinetic modeling study is carried out to characterize combustion of low molecular weight esters in nonpremixed, nonuniform flows. An improved understanding of the combustion characteristics of low molecular weight esters will provide insights on combustion of high molecular weight esters and biodiesel. The fuels tested are methyl butanoate, methyl crotonate, ethyl propionate, biodiesel, and diesel. Two types of configuration – the condensed fuel configuration and the prevaporized fuel configuration – are employed. The condensed fuel configuration is particularly useful for studies on those liquid fuels that have high boiling points, for example biodiesel and diesel, where prevaporization, without thermal breakdown of the fuel, is difficult to achieve. In the condensed fuel configuration, an oxidizer, made up of a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, flows over the vaporizing surface of a pool of liquid fuel. A stagnation-point boundary layer flow is established over the surface of the liquid pool. The flame is stabilized in the boundary layer. In the prevaporized fuel configuration, the flame is established in the mixing layer formed between two streams. One stream is a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen and the other is a mixture of prevaporized fuel and nitrogen. Critical conditions of extinction and ignition are measured. The results show that the critical conditions of extinction of diesel and biodiesel are nearly the same. Experimental data show that in general flames burning the esters are more difficult to extinguish in comparison to those for biodiesel. At the same value of a characteristic flow time, the ignition temperature for biodiesel is lower than that for diesel. The ignition temperatures for biodiesel are lower than those for the methyl esters tested here. Critical conditions of extinction and ignition for methyl butanoate were calculated using a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism. The results agreed well with the experimental data. The asymptotic structure of a methyl butanoate flame is found to be similar to that for many hydrocarbon flames. This will facilitate analytical modeling, of structures of ester flames, using rate-ratio asymptotic techniques, developed previously for hydrocarbon flames.     

Methane activation over Ag-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites: A theoretical study

Methane activation catalyzed over Ag-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites was investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT) with a cluster model. Two different pathways were taken into account in this work: the “alkyl” and the “carbenium” pathways. The activation barriers obtained are 34.09 and 66.63 kcal/mol for the “alkyl” and the “carbenium” pathway, respectively. The calculated results show that the activation barrier of the “alkyl” pathway is smaller than that of “carbenium” pathway. Consequently, the “alkyl” pathway is the preferential reaction pathway. A new mechanism of methane conversion in the presence of ethene was proposed. In the catalytic cycle, the initial step of methane activation proceeds with the “alkyl” pathway and the Ag⁺ cation acts as an acceptor of the methyl group, then ethene reacts with the Ag⁺CH₃⁻ group to form propene. In addition, it is found that the Ag⁺ cations play an important role in the methane activation, compared with the reaction of methane activation over H-ZSM-5.     

Role of oil derived carbonaceous phase in the performance of sewage sludge-based materials as media for desulfurizaton of digester gas

Desulfurization adsorbents for purification of digester gas were prepared by pyrolysis of sewage sludge impregnated with spent mineral oil. To evaluate the changes in the structural and chemical properties the pyrolysis time and temperature varied. The materials were characterized using adsorption of nitrogen, FTIR, XRD, ICP, SEM and thermal analysis. Their catalytic activity was tested in the removal of hydrogen sulfide from simulated mixture of digester gas. The results indicated the importance of new carbon phase from the oil precursor. It provided mesoporosity, which increased the dispersion of catalytic phase and space for storage of surface reaction products. The results indicated that the adsorbents obtained at 950 °C are much more active in the process of hydrogen sulfide oxidation than those obtained at 650 °C. Moreover, longer heat treatment is also beneficial for the development of surface catalytic properties. Extensive pyrolysis stabilizes carbon phase via increasing its degree of aromatization and provides activation agents for this phase coming from decomposition and rearrangement of inorganic phase.     

A functional-group-based approach to modeling real-fuel combustion chemistry – III: Application to biodiesels

Real biodiesel fuels are mixtures comprising many high molecular weight components, making it a challenge to predict their combustion chemistry with detailed kinetic models. Our group previously proposed a functional-group approach (FGMech) to model the combustion chemistry of real gasoline and jet fuels; this approach has now been extended to model real biodiesel combustion and mixtures with petroleum fuels. As in our previous work, a decoupling philosophy is adopted for construction of the model. A lumped reaction mechanism describes the (oxidative) pyrolysis of fuels, while a detailed base chemistry model represents the oxidation of key pyrolysis intermediates. However, due to the presence of the ester group, several oxygenated species are identified as additional primary products and incorporated into the lumped reaction steps. In addition to the lumped reactions initiated by unimolecular decomposition and H-atom abstraction reactions, a lumped H-atom addition-elimination reaction is also incorporated as a new reaction class to account for the presence of double bonds. Stoichiometric parameters are obtained based on a multiple linear regression (MLR) model, which establishes relationships between the fuel's functional group distributions and the stoichiometric parameters of the lumped reactions. Global rate constants are developed from consistent rate rules obtained from pure fuels. New pyrolysis experimental data for methyl pentanoate/methyl nonanoate and methyl heptanoate/n-heptane mixtures (50%/50% in mol) are obtained in a jet-stirred reactor at atmospheric pressure. In general, kinetic models developed using the FGMech approach can reasonably reproduce all the validation targets obtained in this work, as well as those in the literature, confirming that functional-group-modeling is a promising approach to simulate combustion behavior of diesel/biodiesel surrogate fuels and real biodiesels.     

Exploring the oxidative decompositions of methyl esters: Methyl butanoate and methyl pentanoate as model compounds for biodiesel

Biodiesel mechanism development poses interrelated challenges. Kinetic parameters of interest for the numerous steps with implications for low-temperature biodiesel combustion can be determined largely via computational means, but the computational approaches that best balance expense and accuracy in generating these parameters have not been systematically determined. A CO₂ production pathway recently proposed in the literature to occur in the methyl esters commonly used as surrogates for complex biofuel chemistry provides an opportunity to explore both these areas. We quantified this previously-proposed CO₂ production pathway using composite (G3B3) calculations and identified areas for potential side reactions, in both methyl butanoate and methyl pentanoate. Alternative isomerizations were also examined and suggest that side reactions may play an increasingly larger role in the chemistry of long-chain methyl esters, compared to methyl butanoate. In methodological terms, G3MP2B3 calculations matched quantitatively and qualitatively well with benchmark G3B3 data, while density functional theory (DFT) approaches generally failed to achieve the accuracy or precision desirable in determining reaction barriers. Potential energy surfaces generated via G3MP2B3 calculations were used to explore kinetic parameters for reactions implicated in early CO₂ production and competing pathways for methyl esters; these parameters were compared to extant mechanistic data.

A lumped approach to the kinetic modeling of pyrolysis and combustion of biodiesel fuels

The aim of this work is to discuss a lumped approach to the kinetic modeling of the pyrolysis and oxidation of biodiesel fuels, i.e. rapeseed and soybean methyl esters. The lumped model is the natural extension of the kinetic scheme of methyl butanoate and methyl decanoate and takes also a great advantage from the detailed kinetic scheme of biodiesel fuels [Westbrook et al. Combustion and Flame 158 (2011) 742–755]. The combustion of methyl palmitate and methyl stearate is very similar to the one of methyl decanoate, while large unsaturated methyl esters are significantly less reactive at low and intermediate temperatures. The formation of resonantly stabilized allylic radicals from unsaturated methyl esters constitutes a critical element very useful to characterize the reactivity of the different fuels. The extension of the previous kinetic model of hydrocarbon and oxygenated fuel combustion to the methyl esters required the introduction of ～60 lumped species and ～2000 reactions. The dimension of the overall kinetic scheme (～420 species involved in ～13,000 reactions) allows a more flexible and direct application of the model without the need of kinetic reductions. The comparison of model predictions and different sets of experimental data from one side allows to verify the reliability of the proposed model, from the other side calls for further experimental and theoretical work on this subject.
