ABSTRACT: The influence of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) diesel blends on the exhaust emissions from a passenger car was examined. The impact of FAME for the cold urban phase (UDC) was increased CO and HC emissions, probably due to blend physical properties promoting incomplete combustion. The HVO blend caused the lowest CO and HC emissions for the UDC. NOx emissions did not change significantly with the fuel used, however the UDC was characterized by lower NOx emission for FAME blends. Particle emissions were highest with standard diesel. Emissions of carbonyl compounds increased as fuel biodiesel content increased, especially during the UDC. HVO in diesel fuel decreased carbonyl emissions. Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were the most abundant carbonyl compounds in the exhaust gas. Total particle-bound PAH emissions were variable, the emission of heavier PAHs increased with blend biodiesel content. The HVO blend increased emission of lighter PAHs. Nitro-PAHs were identified only during the UDC and not for all blends; the highest emissions were measured for pure diesel. The results showed that emission of nitro-PAHs may be decreased to a greater extent by using biodiesel than using a HVO blend.

consumption needs.4,5 The transesterification process decreases the viscosity and increases the cetane number and heating value in comparison to the feedstock, so FAMEs properties do not differ significantly from petroleum diesel fuel, and may be used in unmodified diesel engines. However, the high percentage of unsaturated bonds in the fatty acids’ structure causes biodiesel to be more prone to oxidation compared to diesel, which decreases its long-term stability properties. Much research has indicated that their addition to diesel fuel reduces the toxicity of exhaust emissions by lowering the emission of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and total hydrocarbons, although some increase in emission of nitrogen oxides is observed.6−9 Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is another renewable fuel for diesel engines, which is produced from vegetable oils and composed mainly of liquid paraffinic hydrocarbons. A pathway to their production is conventional hydrotreating catalysis, in which hydrogen is used to remove oxygen atoms and double bonds from the structure of triglicerides. The physical and
INTRODUCTION In the past decade interest in usage of renewable fuels has increased sharply, due to limited fossil fuel resources and the opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This also involves transport fuels, which for example, in the EU, have the highest contribution to general energy consumption (about 40%) and of which 5−6% originate from renewable sources.1 In the case of diesel engines, commonly used both in heavy transportation vehicles and passenger cars, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), known as biodiesel, are the main biocomponents which are blended and used with conventional petroleum diesel fuel.2 FAMEs are produced mainly by transestrification of vegetable oils such as soybean, rapeseed, and palm oils with glycerol as a byproduct in an alkali-catalyzed process.3 Although methanol and ethanol are most frequently used as a alcohol, the former is mainly employed because of its low cost and physicochemical advantages but, in contrast to ethanol, methanol originates mostly from fossil feedstock. Production may lead to the presence of some catalyst poisons in biodiesel, like Na, K, or P. The fats for FAME production also may originate from postfrying oils, waste animal fats, or microalgae oil, which fulfill the greenhouse gas emission criteria better than edible vegetable oils and do not compete with food © 2015 American Chemical Society

condition, which may change the emission profile of most harmful pollutants, probably due to the higher viscosity and lower volatility of biodiesel in comparison to conventional diesel fuel. Concerning paraffinic fuels, it was observed that emission of formaldehyde and PAHs can decrease with this fuel.16,19 Diesel engine operation is very sensitive to fuel properties; crucially, a number of physical properties change when biodiesel or paraffinic fuel are added to diesel fuel. Thus, changes in emissions may not be just due to the change in chemical composition, but also to changes in other properties such as density, volatility, and cetane number.20 The purpose of the present study was a comparison of regulated and unregulated (carbonyl, PAH and nitro-PAH compounds) emissions in relation to fuels containing different proportions of FAMEs and HVO in diesel fuel. The European legislative NEDC test cycle (Supporting Information page S3), introduced in Directive 98/69/EC, was selected as a representative test for this study. The emission tests were performed on a chassis dynamometer and conducted on a passenger car equipped with a modern direct injection turbocharged diesel engine meeting Euro 4 emission standards.
functional properties of this fuel are very comparable to petroleum diesel fuel so their importance increases, including the possibility of usage as aviation fuel.10 However, aside from cold flow properties, which may be improved by alkane isomerization, due to its low lubricity and high cetane number it is not recommend to use HVO blends with concentrations above 50% in diesel fuel.11 The sooting reduction tendency observed in the same study indicated potential reductions in particulate matter (PM) emissions in most recent model year vehicles. The toxicity of exhaust emission and changes in the profile of emitted pollutants when using renewable fuels is a very important issue, due to the influence on air pollution and the attending possible health effects. Diesel engine exhaust consists of many toxic compounds and has been classified in group 1, according to IARC, as carcinogenic to humans.12 Despite many studies which concern the emissions profile using biodiesel, most of them were conducted with test engines under steady state driving condition, and not on in-use cars, operating with exhaust after treatment devices over transient cycles, for example the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). A recent investigation indicated a marginal increase in HC, CO, and PM emission under these conditions, due to certain physical properties of biodiesel blends and cold-start occurring in the cycle.13 However, previous studies showed significant increases in CO, HC, and even PM when using biodiesel blends and pure biodiesel, which was explained by higher viscosity and lower volatility of these fuels in comparison to conventional diesel fuel.14,15 In turn, usage of paraffinic biofuels caused reductions of emissions of these pollutants under similar test conditions.16 There are, however, growing concerns regarding unregulated pollutants emitted from diesel engines, which mostly include carbonyl compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and their nitrated derivatives (nitro-PAHs). Recent studies have reported increasing carbonyl compound emissions with increased biodiesel content in the diesel fuel, which is in agreement with the majority of investigations conducted in engine test cells.17,18 In turn, the emission of PAHs was shifted toward lighter PAH compounds and was clearly dependent on the feedstock origin for FAME production, showing that oxidized fuel increased emissions of some PAHs and nitroPAHs compared to when using standard diesel fuel.13 Moreover, these emissions were affected by the cold-start

MATERIAL AND METHODS The experiment was carried out on midsize passenger car of European manufacture, produced in 2009 and with a compression ignition engine of displacement 1920 cm3. The vehicle’s engine also featured typical technology for a Euro 4 diesel passenger car: a turbocharger, cooled exhaust gas recirculation controlled by an air flow meter, and a commonrail fuel injection system with high-pressure injectors. A diesel particulate filter was not present, but an oxidation catalyst was fitted, again, typical for a Diesel car meeting the Euro 4 standard. The emission tests were carried out in BOSMAL’s Emission Testing Laboratory using an AVL48″ single roll chassis dynamometer. This chassis dynamometer is situated within a climatic chamber (Supporting Information Figure S1). As per the European legislative test method, the test commenced from a cold start at a temperature of 20 °C to 30 °C (24 °C was targeted) with the oil, coolant and all elements of the engine at ambient temperature (24 °C ± 2 °C). The vehicle speed versus time plot for the NEDC is presented in the Supporting Information in Figure S2. Each test on each 7474

a near-linear relationship between this reduction and the increase in the H/C ratio of the fuel. However, the main reason for the observed reduction is probably the lower boiling point, which has a beneficial impact on complete vaporization of the fuel in the combustion chamber at low load and cold start conditions.11In turn, Lim et al. indentified the increased cetane number with HVO addition to diesel fuel as an important factor for reducing the CO emission level.30During the EUDC phase, emissions of CO were at a very low level, due to the high effectiveness of the vehicle’s diesel oxidation catalyst at removing CO, and comparable for all tested fuels. No reductions in CO emissions during the EUDC phase were observed for any of the fuels containing FAME, nor for HVO blend. A similar tendency as for CO emission was observed for total HC emissions, which were also the highest in the case of B100 in the UDC phase. In reference to conventional diesel fuel, a significant increase occurred also for B30, but for the other biodiesel blends, the increase in HC emissions was only marginally significant. As reported previously, benzene was the most abundant among the light aromatic hydrocarbons, and benzene emissions showed a similar trend to that of total HC.31 This trend was especially visible during the UDC phase and it is undoubtedly the result of the cold start conditions and the physicochemical parameters of fuels containing FAME. Diesel engine cold start is affected by many interacting processes during mixture formation inside the cylinder that lead to autoignition and combustion. Emissions during DI diesel engine cold-start and warm up are significant for overall emissions, (however not as significant as in a spark-ignition engine), since the conditions for fuel atomization, mixture formation and combustion are poor.32 Moreover, aftertreatment devices (e.g., an oxidizing catalyst) do not work effectively under these conditions. A previous investigation concerning HC emissions when using standard diesel fuel indicated that during the first of the four elementary phases of the UDC, this emission is 100−150% higher than during the last elementary phase of the UDC.33 Poorer atomization and vaporization due to the higher density, viscosity and boiling point of FAME and its blends than for pure petroleum diesel fuel lead to an increase in HC emissions during the UDC, which during the following EUDC phase did not show such a significant differentiation (only for B30, marginally). As discussed by Giacoumis and coworkers,9 a diesel oxidation catalyst may seem to operate less efficiently with biodiesel and biodiesel blends not only under cold conditions, but also throughout the whole cycle. The reason for this behavior is the lower biodiesel exhaust gas temperature causing lower available exhaust gas thermal energy. It was evident that HC emissions decreased for the HVO30
Carbonyl compounds in the engine exhaust gas were determined using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) method after collection of diluted exhaust in Tedlar bags. Particle bound PAHs and nitro-PAHs collected onto Pallflex (T60A20) filters were determined by HPLC with fluorescence detection and GC-MS method, respectively.14,15 Methodological details and QA/QC data including recoveries, precision and accuracy for carbonyl, PAH and nitro-PAH compounds are presented in the Supporting Information, (pages S3−S4 and Table S1). t test analyses were used to assess differences in emission results. P values 70) and its addition to diesel fuel increases the cetane number linearly. It was found that increased cetane number also reduced emissions of HC and CO, probably due to improvement of ignition performance.30Another cause for the observed reduction may be a decrease in concentration of precursors for carbonyl compound formation and the degree of molecular unsaturation. The ability of paraffinic fuel to reduce emission of carbonyl compounds was also found in some earlier studies. Yuan et al.50 evaluated emissions from a heavy-duty diesel engine in a transient test using a paraffinic and biodiesel blend and they obtained a significant reduction of carbonyls in exhaust gases, equaling 24% and 30% for 20% and 5% biodiesel paraffinic blend, respectively. Zervas et al.16tested two types of paraffinic fuel and also obtained significant reductions of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and total carbonyl compounds, which reached 69% and 89% in comparison to when using conventional diesel fuel. PAH Emissions. PAH emissions in vehicular diesel exhaust are the focus of much attention because many of these compounds have been identified as potential cancer causing compounds. According to IARC, there is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of benzo(a)pyrene in humans (group 1A). Additionally, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluorantene, benzo(k)fluorantene, chrysene, and indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene are recognized as animal carcinogens (IARC groups 2A and 2B). Regarding diesel exhaust emissions, there are especially suitable conditions for adsorption of these compounds on simultaneously emitted particulate matter. Very fine particulate matter containing particles B7 > HVO30 > B100 and with B15 and B30 all of the 6 nitro-PAHs analyzed were below the limit of detection. These decreasing nitro-PAH emissions with biodiesel and biodiesel blends in comparison to diesel fuel is in agreement with previous studies.13,17,58,59 The main reason for this reduction was attributed to lower emission of nitro-PAH precursors, that is, parent PAHs, which therefore resulted in the higher emission of nitro-PAHs measured with oxidized biodiesel blends, whose use were related to higher PAH emissions than with diesel fuel. In this study a reduction was found in most cases, despite the increase in emission of parent PAHs. This may suggest less favorable conditions for the
