PRODUCTION OF HIGHER FATTY ALCOHOLSBASED ON LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYETHYLENEAND ANALYSIS OF THEIR LUBRICATING PROPERTIES FOR DIESEL FUELS
Abstract
Currently, the attention of the oil and gas industry around the world is focused on the development of diesel fuel production with improved environmental characteristics, containing a minimum amount of sulfur and aromatic hydrocarbons. Our hypothesis that in small concentrations vegetable oil can improve the lubricating properties of fuel was confirmed. For the experiment, our own summer diesel fuel Eco L 0.00-62, manufactured at the Bukhara Oil Refinery based on the standard requirements DST 1134:2018, and vegetable oil (sunflower) produced based on our own requirements DST 2438:2018 at EUROSNAR LLC were selected. The experiments showed that the addition of vegetable oil improves the lubricating properties of diesel fuel, even if it does not meet GOST 6370-2018 for this parameter; in percentage terms δ to diesel fuel, it almost linearly reduces the diameter of the scratch scar. As a result of the research, the desired equation of dependence was obtained.
