CETANE NUMBER INCREASING PROCESS AND ADDITIVE FOR DIESEL FUEL

摘要

A cetane number increasing process and additive for diesel fuel, this additive being obtained by means of a less complex and more economic process which seeks to use by products in excess of supply on the market and to optimize the installed capacity of existing plants, the process producing a mixture of nitrated glycerol diethers is represented by the following general formula (I) where R can be: a hydrogen atom; or an R′—O group; and where R′ can be an alkene or alkyne or an unsaturated hydrocarbon formed by a number of carbon atoms ranging from 4 to 10 carbons.
