Oxygenates produce a significant reduction in emissions of particulate matter (PM-10) from diesel engines but in most cases also cause the nitrogen oxide emissions to increase. In this work, several oxygenates having a wide range of properties were blended with no. 2 diesel at the 1 and 2 wt % oxygen level. Emissions were measured using the hot start portion of the U.S. Heavy-Duty Transient Test (40 CFR, Part 86, Subpart N) in both a 2-stroke and a 4-stroke engine. It was found that at this oxygen level PM reductions on the order of 10−15% were obtained regardless of oxygenate chemical structure. The oxygenates affected the integrated NOx emissions differently. Methyl esters of soybean oil increased NOx 2−3%, decanoic acid had no effect, and octanol may have slightly decreased NOx. Examination of real time NOx concentration data for octanol and soy esters indicates that both oxygenates increase NOx during portions of the cycle where the engine is generating high torque at low speed with little or no turbo...
