Definitions

  • TITLE ETHOXYLATED SURFACTANTS FOR WATER IN OIL EMULSIONS
  • the invention relates to a novel additive package to produce a water in oil emulsion, in particular water blended fuels with good emulsion stability.
  • NO x emissions have become an important environmental issue because it contributes to smog and air pollution.
  • Governmental regulations and environmental concerns have driven the need to reduce NO x emissions from engines. In particular, the U.S. Clean Air Act will require about 90% to 95% reduction of the current level of internal combustion engines emissions by the year 2007. Similar regulations are expected in Europe and other parts of the industrialized world.
  • Diesel fueled engines produce NO x due to the relatively high flame temperatures reached during combustion.
  • the reduction of NO x production conventionally includes the use of catalytic converters, using "clean" fuels, recirculation of exhaust and engine timing changes. These methods are typically expensive or complicated to be readily commercially available.
  • emulsion fuel has to meet the specifications of diesel fuel, as well as additional specifications which relate to an emulsion fuel. For instance the Italian National specification (Decreto 20 marzo 2000, published on 3 rd April 2000 in Gazzetta Ufficiale, n.78) imposes a stability test criterion, defined by a centrifuge test (AFNOR prNF 07-101 ).
  • emulsion technology Another important aspect of emulsion technology is the energy required in order to make the emulsions.
  • Various technologies are available, for instance static mixers, rotor-stator mills and ultrasonic devices.
  • the present invention has discovered the use of surfactants to make a water in oil emulsion/fuels. Further, the present invention has discovered that a fatty amine ethoxylate and derivatives of a PiB succinate surfactant is advantageous to produce a water-in oil emulsion because (1) emulsification occurs readily (low residence time in the mixer); (2) more stable emulsions are formed; (3) in addition to the excellent colloidal properties the resultant emulsified fuels show a markedly improved performance in use with respects to elastomer compatibility and corrosion; and (4) significant improvement in the overall stability and ease of handling of the additive surfactant package.
  • NO x is used herein to refer to any of the nitrogen oxides, NO, NO 2 , N 2 O, or mixtures of two or more thereof.
  • water-in-oil emulsion, “water emulsion”, “emulsions”, “water blended fuel”, “emulsified water fuel” and other variations are interchangeable.
  • the invention relates to an emulsified water in oil composition
  • an emulsified water in oil composition comprising: a. a fuel in the range of about 50% to about 99% by weight of the composition; b. a water in the range of about 1 % to about 50% by weight of the composition; c. a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride (PIBSA) derived emulsifier wherein the molecular weight of the PIB chain is in the range of about 200 to

  • the invention relates to a process for making a water in oil emulsion comprising emulsifying a fuel, a water, a PIBSA-derived surfactant, and an alkylamine ethoxylated surfactant.
  • the invention further relates to a process to produce an emulsified water in oil composition from a concentrate comprising emulsifying a portion of a fuel, a portion to substantially all of a water, substantially all of the PIBSA-derived surfactant, substantially all of the alkylamine ethoxylated surfactant to form a concentrate emulsion; and then diluting the concentrated emulsion with the remaining portion of fuel at the time of use.
  • the water in oil emulsion provides good emulsion stability.
  • the additive package allows for the water in oil emulsion to be processed more easily. Further the emulsion has increased storage stability.
  • the water in oil composition is useful as a fuel for stationary and/or combustion engines and/or open flame burning apparatus.
  • the invention discloses an additive surfactant package of at least two surfactants to produce a stable emulsified water in oil composition.
