The present invention relates to the technical field of functional diesel additives, and specifically to a solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive and a method for preparing the same.
Diesel is a light petroleum product blended by a diesel fraction produced by crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, petroleum coking and other processes, belongs to a complex hydrocarbon mixture, and generally has a molecular carbon chain length of 15-24. Due to a relatively long carbon chain of a diesel molecule, the diesel can provide more energy in a combustion process transferred into power output. Therefore, the diesel is widely used as a fuel of a heavy vehicle (a heavy transport vehicle and a large passenger vehicle). Although the diesel as a power fuel has the characteristics of high thermal efficiency and good economy, due to the characteristics of the diesel and the poor working conditions in a use occasion, the diesel is easy to have insufficient combustion during combustion, resulting in a black smoke, which causes air pollution.
With the rapid development of the economy and society, and the improvement of people's living standards, the installation base of diesel motor vehicles is getting higher and higher. Therefore, the large consumption of the diesel and the exhaust emission pollution from a diesel engine have increased greatly. Although there is a trend of an electric vehicle to replace a diesel vehicle in recent years, due to the characteristics of the diesel engine and the special nature of a use occasion, it is difficult to replace all diesel vehicles with the electric vehicles in a short term. Therefore, it is especially important to improve the full combustion of the diesel in the diesel engine and reduce the emission of the black smoke.
At present, there are many diesel oxidizing anti-smoke additives on the market to improve the combustion efficiency (reduce consumption) of the diesel and reduce the black smoke in an exhaust of the diesel engine. Due to the special efficacy of ferrocene in eliminating smoke and oxidizing, the main anti-smoke and oxidizing component of this product is mainly a ferrocene compound. Meanwhile, this product is a liquid product. The production and processing of the liquid product requires relatively complicated equipment and preparation processes and has special requirements for a production environment, product transportation, and a packaging material. In addition, a ferrocene powder is directly manufactured into particles added to the diesel, which has the problem of a slow dissolution speed. With the combination of these factors, the ferrocene anti-smoke oxidant in diesel is very limited in actual use.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive and a method for preparing the same. The solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive prepared by the method is used in diesel, which effectively improves the combustion efficiency of the diesel and reduces diesel consumption while reducing the emission of a black smoke and other pollutants in an exhaust of a diesel engine. The diesel anti-smoke oxidant also has a fast dissolution speed in the diesel, simple production of a raw material, convenient packaging, storage, and transportation, simple addition of the additive, price advantage and other characteristics.
In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by the present invention is as follows:
A solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive includes the following components:
The present invention also provides a method for preparing a solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive, comprising the steps of:
As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the vinyl ferrocene, the vinyl acetate, and the ethylene in the diesel anti-smoke oxidant have a mass ratio of 2-5%:20-40%:50-75%.
As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the solvent is the petroleum ether (90-120° C.) or toluene.
As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the solvent and a polymeric monomer has a weight ratio of 4:6-6:4.
As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the free radical initiator is azo diisobutyronitrile or azo diisobutyric acid dimethyl ester.
As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the free radical initiator accounts for 1-3% of total consumption of a material.
As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the diesel anti-smoke oxidant and homotetramethylbenzene have a weight ratio of 2:1-1:6.
Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the vinyl ferrocene, the vinyl acetate, and the ethyleneare polymerized in the solvent and the free radical initiator under the action of initiation of a free radical to obtain a crude product of the diesel anti-smoke oxidant. The solvent is recovered from the crude product of the diesel anti-smoke oxidant through atmospheric distillation to obtain a solid paste diesel anti-smoke oxidant. The solid paste diesel anti-smoke oxidant is mixed with the homotetramethylbenzene. A mixture is performed with extrusion molding and sliced to finally obtain the solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive. The solid-type diesel anti-smoke oxidant is added to diesel in proportion, which not only does not affect the indicators of the diesel, but also can effectively reduce the emission of hydrocarbon, CO and black smoke particles after the solid-type diesel anti-smoke oxidant is added to the diesel, while achieving the effects of oxidizing and diesel saving.

The method for preparing the solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive includes the following steps of: first, polymerizing the free radical with the vinyl ferrocene, the vinyl acetate, the ethylene in the presence of the free radical initiator and the solvent; cooling down the polymerized crude product of the diesel anti-smoke oxidant; removing the solvent through the atmospheric distillation; finally, mixing the diesel anti-smoke oxidant after the solvent is removed and the homotetramethylbenzene; heating, extruding, moulding and slicing the mixture to obtain the solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive; polymerizing ferrocene into an oil-soluble polymer with a low molecular weight, and hence effectively increasing a dissolution speed of ferrocene in diesel, while obtaining a polymer with a lower melting point, which is convenient for extrusion moulding by low-temperature heating; and mixing the diesel anti-smoke oxidant with the homotetramethylbenzene and heating at a low temperature, extruding and moulding the mixture. An obtained product was better than a liquid product conventionally made of ferrocene and a product directly tabletted by a ferrocene powder, and has the advantages of a fast dissolution speed in diesel, simple equipment required for production and processing, a relatively simple preparation process, no special requirements for production environment, product transportation, and a packaging material, etc.
5 kg of solid vinyl ferrocene and 1 kg of a solid azo diisobutyronitrile initiator were put into a reaction kettle. Nitrogen was continuously introduced into the reaction kettle to replace air for 60 min. After the replacement of the nitrogen was completed, 50 kg of a petroleum ether (at a temperature of 90-120° C.) and 30 kg of vinyl acetate were pumped into the reaction kettle. A feeding hole and a discharge hole/a ventilation port of the reaction kettle were closed. Stirring started for 10 min until a mixture was homogeneous. After stirring time reached, high-pressure ethylene was slowly introduced, and a pressure of the reaction kettle was raised to 4 MPa. After the pressure of the reaction kettle reached, a temperature started to slowly be increased from a room temperature to 60° C. When the temperature of a material reached 60° C., the polymerization speed of a free radical was significantly accelerated, and a temperature of reaction exotherm was obviously increased. At this time, the temperature was controlled by jacket cooling water in the reaction kettle to maintain the temperature of the material no more than 75° C. As a reaction proceeded, with the consumption of the ethylene, the pressure dropped. The pressure of a system was maintained by controlling the injection of the ethylene. When the reaction reached a later stage, the temperature of the system dropped. At this time, water at a constant temperature of 70° C. was introduced to heat the material to keep the temperature of the material constant at a temperature of 60° C. When the temperature of the material was constant, if the ethylene is not supplemented, the pressure of the system remained unchanged for 30 min, and the reaction could be considered to reach an end point. The ethylene stopped being heated. The material was cooled down by the cooling water to a room temperature. After the pressure was released to an atmospheric pressure, the solvent was removed from the material by 145° C. atmospheric distillation. The obtained diesel anti-smoke oxidant was mixed with homotetramethylbenzene, and a mixture was extruded, moulded and sliced at a temperature of 70° C., to obtain the solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive.
3 kg of solid vinyl ferrocene and 1.5 kg of a solid azo diisobutyronitrile initiator were put into a reaction kettle. Nitrogen was continuously introduced into the reaction kettle to replace air for 60 minutes. After the replacement of the nitrogen was completed, 50 kg of a petroleum ether (at a temperature of 90-120° C.) and 25 kg of vinyl acetate were pumped into the reaction kettle. A feeding hole and a discharge hole/a ventilation port of the reaction kettle were closed. Stirring started for 10 min until a mixture was homogeneous. After stirring time reached, high-pressure ethylene was slowly introduced, and a pressure of the reaction kettle was raised to 5 MPa. After the pressure of the reaction kettle reached, a temperature started to slowly be increased from a room temperature to 70° C. When the temperature of a material reached 70° C., the polymerization speed of a free radical was significantly accelerated, and a temperature of reaction exotherm was obviously increased. At this time, the temperature was controlled by jacket cooling water in the reaction kettle to maintain the temperature of the material no more than 90° C. As a reaction proceeded, with the consumption of the ethylene, the pressure dropped. The pressure of a system was maintained by controlling the injection of the ethylene. When the reaction reached a later stage, the temperature of the system dropped. At this time, water at a constant temperature of 75° C. was introduced to heat the material to keep the temperature of the material constant at a temperature of 70° C. When the temperature of the material was constant, if the ethylene is not supplemented, the pressure of the system remained unchanged for 30 min, and the reaction could be considered to reach an end point. The ethylene stopped being heated. The material was cooled down by the cooling water to a room temperature. After the pressure was released to an atmospheric pressure, the solvent was removed from the material by 140° C. atmospheric distillation. The obtained diesel anti-smoke oxidant was mixed with homotetramethylbenzene, and a mixture was extruded, moulded and sliced at a temperature of 55° C., to obtain the solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive.
3 kg of solid vinyl ferrocene and 2 kg of a solid azo diisobutyric acid dimethyl ester initiator were put into a reaction kettle. Nitrogen was continuously introduced into the reaction kettle to replace air for 60 minutes. After the replacement of the nitrogen was completed, 50 kg of normal hexane and 35 kg of vinyl acetate were pumped into the reaction kettle. A feeding hole and a discharge hole/a ventilation port of the reaction kettle were closed. Stirring started for 10 min until a mixture was homogeneous. After stirring time reached, high-pressure ethylene was slowly introduced, and a pressure of the reaction kettle was raised to 4.5 MPa. After the pressure of the reaction kettle reached, a temperature started to slowly be increased from a room temperature to 65° C. When the temperature of a material reached 65° C., the polymerization speed of a free radical was significantly accelerated, and a temperature of reaction exotherm was obviously increased. At this time, the temperature was controlled by jacket cooling water in the reaction kettle to maintain the temperature of the material no more than 90° C. As a reaction proceeded, with the consumption of the ethylene, the pressure dropped. The pressure of a system was maintained by controlling the injection of the ethylene. When the reaction reached a later stage, the temperature of the system dropped. At this time, water at a constant temperature of 70° C. was introduced to heat the material to keep the temperature of the material constant at a temperature of 65° C. When the temperature of the material was constant, if the ethylene is not supplemented, the pressure of the system remained unchanged for 30 min, and the reaction could be considered to reach an end point. The ethylene stopped being heated. The material was cooled down by the cooling water to a room temperature. After the pressure was released to an atmospheric pressure, the solvent was removed from the material by 100° C. atmospheric distillation. The obtained diesel anti-smoke oxidant was mixed with homotetramethylbenzene, and a mixture was extruded, moulded and sliced at a temperature of 65° C., to obtain the solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive.
4 kg of solid vinyl ferrocene and 2 kg of a solid azo diisobutyric acid dimethyl ester initiator were put into a reaction kettle. Nitrogen was continuously introduced into the reaction kettle to replace air for 60 minutes. After the replacement of the nitrogen was completed, 50 kg of a petroleum ether (at a temperature of 90-120° C.) and 27 kg of vinyl acetate were pumped into the reaction kettle. A feeding hole and a discharge hole/a ventilation port of the reaction kettle were closed. Stirring started for 10 min until a mixture was homogeneous. After stirring time reached, high-pressure ethylene was slowly introduced, and a pressure of the reaction kettle was raised to 4.5 MPa. After the pressure of the reaction kettle reached, a temperature started to slowly be increased from a room temperature to 68° C. When the temperature of a material reached 68° C., the polymerization speed of a free radical was significantly accelerated, and a temperature of reaction exotherm was obviously increased. At this time, the temperature was controlled by jacket cooling water in the reaction kettle to maintain the temperature of the material no more than 90° C. As a reaction proceeded, with the consumption of the ethylene, the pressure dropped. The pressure of a system was maintained by controlling the injection of the ethylene. When the reaction reached a later stage, the temperature of the system dropped. At this time, water at a constant temperature of 75° C. was introduced to heat the material to keep the temperature of the material constant at a temperature of 68° C. When the temperature of the material was constant, if the ethylene is not supplemented, the pressure of the system remained unchanged for 30 min, and the reaction could be considered to reach an end point. The ethylene stopped being heated. The material was cooled down by the cooling water to a room temperature. After the pressure was released to an atmospheric pressure, the solvent was removed from the material by 130° C. atmospheric distillation. The obtained diesel anti-smoke oxidant was mixed with homotetramethylbenzene, and a mixture was extruded, moulded and sliced at a temperature of 60° C., to obtain the solid addition-type diesel environmental protection anti-smoke additive.
The solid addition-type diesel oxidizing additive of the present invention greatly increased the solubility of ferrocene in the diesel by combining the ferrocene with the polymer. A paste solid form of the additive was especially suitable for an extrusion moulding process after the additive was mixed with homotetramethylbenzene. The extrusion moulding had simple and safe process steps. The requirements for equipment are low. The solid tablet diesel oxidizing anti-smoke additive was easier to store and transport than liquid one. The amount of addition of the additive in diesel fuel was small, which did not affect the physical and chemical indicators of the diesel while being able to improve the combustion of the engine, and reduce the diesel consumption and the emission of a black smoke and pollutants.

Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their technical equivalents, the present invention is also intended to encompass these modifications and variations.
