    摘要: Fuel composition comprising: (i) a base fuel suitable for use in an internal combustion engine; and (ii) a blend of a first monoalkyl alkenyl succinate and a second monoalkyl alkenyl succinate wherein the first monoalkyl alkenyl succinate and the second monoalkyl alkenyl succinate each have the formula (I) or (II) below, or are an isomeric mixture of formula (I) and (II) below: where R is a linear or branched alkenyl group containing from 4 to 30 carbon atoms, and R1 is a linear or branched C1 to C8 alkyl group; and wherein the first monoalkyl alkenyl succinate is different from the second monoalkyl alkenyl succinate. The fuel compositions of the present invention have been found to provide a synergistic reduction in engine wear.

    摘要: The method for producing biodiesel from microalgae using a thermo-responsive switchable solvent includes mixing a thermo-responsive switchable solvent (TSS) in a hydrophilic state with microalgae at room temperature (25° C.); maintaining the TSS-microalgae mixture in the hydrophilic state for a cell disruption time period; raising the temperature of the TSS-microalgae mixture to switch the TSS solvent to a hydrophobic state; maintaining the TSS solvent in the hydrophobic state in the presence of immobilized lipase catalyst and methanol for an extraction/reaction time period to obtain fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) as the oils are extracted; lowering the temperature of the TSS-microalgae mixture to switch the TSS solvent back to the hydrophilic state; and maintaining the TSS solvent in the hydrophilic state for a product separation time period. The method may further include extracting the FAMEs from the TSS-microalgae mixture with a nonpolar organic solvent to obtain the biodiesel product.
