Bibliographical study on EHL-derived fuels combustion properties

Bibliographical study on EHLderived fuels combustion properties The report will provide the composition of the EHLderived fuels base on literature review and analysis of fuels provided by the project partners The report will summarize existing literature data about the combustion properties reactivity indicators emissions of EHLderived fuels

Separation of the EHL solvolysis oil into fuel cuts

VERTORO will develop dedicated separation techniques based on distillation and extraction, thereby separating out the molecules with both rich content as well as high market value.

EHL-derived molecular surrogate compositions

EHLderived molecular surrogate compositions The report will provide the definition of molecular surrogates based on the characterization provided in D61 representing the main species families present in the fuel eg alcohols ketones esters phenolic compounds arenes and that will be used for studying the combustion properties of EHL fuels

Model reactions revealing the capping reactions

Model reactions revealing the capping reactions: Here, we will investigate the mechanisms of the EHL solvolysis based on simple model reactions. Specifically, the mode of action of the elementary reaction steps in the possible reactions will be explored.
