Diesel cycle fuel compositions are described containing at least one dianhydrohexitol compound according to the general formula 2 and/or its
derived hydrocarbyl ethers or nitric ethers compounds, where the R′ and R″ substituents are both H or one or both of R′ and R″ is alkyl, cycloalkyl or phenyl, or one or both are —NO
2
. A preferred fuel composition is that containing dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) added or not of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) as ignition improver. The dianhydrohexitols compounds form compositions with at least one of the components selected among petroleum-derived diesel fuel, biodiesel, ethanol and water. The mixture of DMI and ISDN has excellent cetane number (IQT). Still, the oxygenated nature of the dianhydrohexitols and related compounds of the fuel compositions inhibits soot formation upon burning of the said Diesel cycle fuel compositions.
柴油循环燃料组分的描述包含至少一种二环己糖醇化合物,其符合通式2和/或其衍生的烃基醚或硝基醚化合物,其中R'和R"取代基均为氢,或者R'和R"中的一个或两个是烷基、环烷基或苯基,或者一个或两个是-
NO2。首选的燃料组分是含有二甲基
异山梨醇(
DMI)的组分,加入或不加入
异山梨醇二
硝酸酯(I
SDN)作为着火改进剂。二环己糖醇化合物与石油衍生柴油燃料、
生物柴油、
乙醇和
水中的至少一种组分形成组合物。
DMI和I
SDN的混合物具有优异的
十六烷值(IQT)。然而,燃料组分中二环己糖醇和相关化合物的含氧性质抑制了燃烧时的烟灰形成。
