  2. 1. Water-in-diesel emulsion and microemulsion fuels: composition, structure and effect on emissions

    Author : Anna Lif; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NOx; microemulsion; combustion; diffusometry; alternative fuels; emission; emulsion; Fischer-Tropsch; MFC; PM; microfibrillated cellulose; NMR; surfactant; soot; diesel;

    Abstract : Water-in-diesel fuels, as emulsions and microemulsions, give reduced emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) in combustion in diesel engines compared to regular diesel. These fuels can contribute to an improved local environment in densely populated areas as they can replace regular diesel in existing vehicles without any engine modification requirements. READ MORE

  4. 2. Water-in-diesel emulsion and microemulsion fuels -The effect of water on emission levels

    Author : Anna Lif; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Combustion; Diesel; Soot; NMR; Microemulsion; PM; Emulsion; Surfactant; NOx; Diffusometry; Alternative fuels; Emission;

    Abstract : Water-in-diesel emulsions are known as environmentally favourable alternatives to conventional diesel fuel. Introducing water into the combustion results in reduced emissions of the health hazardous components nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). The concept of using emulsions is advantageous as it is easy to replace regular diesel. READ MORE

  5. 3. Organic reactions in self-organized surfactant systems

    Author : Fredrik Currie; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organic synthesis; kinetics; micelle; regioselectivity; microemulsion;

    Abstract : The aim of this work has been to investigate how microemulsions and micellar systems can be used as reaction media to overcome reactant incompatibility, enhance reaction rates and especially to control product composition, i.e., introducing regioselectivity, in organic synthesis.

  6. 4. NMR Diffusion Studies of Association in Surfactant Systems Inclusion Complexes, Micellar Solutions and Microemulsions

    Author : Markus Nilsson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; host-guest complexation; gemini surfactant; cyclodextrin; bolaform surfactant; self-diffusion NMR; pluronic; bicontinuous microemulsion; polydispersity; boosting effect;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis has been to investigate self-diffusion behavior of host-guest complex, microemulsion and polymer solution. Pulsed Field Gradient NMR (PFG-NMR) was shown to provide detailed molecular information in all system studied. READ MORE

  7. 5. Organic Synthesis in Nonionic Microemulsions

    Author : Maria Häger; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organic reaction; phase behaviour; microemulsion; reaction kinetics;

    Abstract : The aim of this work has been to explore the use of microemulsions as reaction media for organic synthesis. Another important aim has been to improve the understanding of the reaction kinetics and the mechanism of the reaction in this type of surfactant system. READ MORE
