Abstract

Desulphurization of diesel fuel is necessary to be done to reduce sulphur content in the air. However, the desulphurization process will reduce the lubrication properties of diesel fuel. In order to overcome the problem, it needs bioadditive to improve the lubricity. Lubricity of diesel fuel can be improved by the subsistence of chemical compound that is hydroxyethyl esther (HEE). HEE is synthesized through the transesterification reaction of palm oil (triglycerides) and 1,2 ethanediol at 150 °C for 5 hours and K2CO3 catalyst as well. The conversion of TG into the products is 72.90%. The characterization using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) indicates that the chemical compound in synthesis products comprise free fatty acids, hydroxyethyl esters and by-products. The obtained products can be used as bioadditives to improve the lubricity of diesel fuel.

Abstract

The desulphurization process of diesel fuel is carried out to reduce the amount of SO2 emissions that can cause acid rain. However, the desulphurization process in diesel fuel not only removes the sulfur compounds but polyaromatic and polar compounds are also eliminated during this process. The loss of these two compounds can reduce the lubricity properties of diesel fuel. Therefore, it is necessary to add an additive compound that can increase the lubricity properties. In this research, 2-hydroxyethyl ester (HEE) was synthesized as an additive to increase the lubricity of diesel fuel. This compound was synthesized through the transesterification reaction of soybean oil and ethylene glycol with K2CO3 as the base catalyst. The composition of the synthesized additives was analyzed using the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on the results of GC-MS spectrum analysis, it is known that the 2-hydroxyethyl ester compound has been formed with a yield of 66.5% (relative to the area of the chromatogram peak). The HEE compound obtained is a mixture of 2 hydroxyethyl palmitate, 2 hydroxyethyl linoleate, 2 hydroxyethyl stearate, 2 hydroxyethyl arachidonate, 2 hydroxyethyl nervate, and 2 hydroxyethyl behenate.

Abstract

Desulfurization of diesel fuel, which is considered to reduce pollution, causes a decrease in its lubrication power. As a result, the friction between surfaces of the engine increases, and it wears out easily. Therefore, it is necessary to increase diesel fuel lubricity through the addition of additives. Waste cooking oil modified to 2-hydroxypropyl esters has a prospect to be a lubricity-enhancing bioadditive. Polar and non-polar groups contain in 2-hydroxypropyl ester can form a bilayer on the surface of the engine that prevents friction between metal components. Synthesis of 2-hydroxypropyl esters was carried out by transesterification at 150°C for 10 hours. The mole ratio of oil to propylene glycol was adjusted to 1:7 with the loading of CaO 7% w/w oil as catalyst. The yield of the product is 88.89%. The product was identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The result showed that 2-hydroxypropyl palmitate and 2-hydroxypropyl oleate have dominant relative abundance with percentages of 42.46% and 57.44%, respectively. According to the molecular review as preliminary investigation, this compound has the potential to deliver better lubricity than ester-only biolubricants. Therefore, 2-hydroxypropyl ester can be proposed as an alternative bioadditive for low-sulfur diesel fuel lubricity enhancer.
