preparation example Construction

[0024]The preparation of metal particles and metal oxide particles is described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,039,509, 5,106,608, 5,654,456, and 6,179,897. Metal and graphite are combined, heated to form transition metal carbides, and further heating causes the metal carbides to decompose and release as vapors. The metal is then oxidized to form a pure metal oxide powder; PCT International Application WO / 2007 / 000014 also discloses methods for the preparation of metal particles and metal oxide particles; these methods are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0025] Nanometal particles and / or metal oxide particles (or fuel or fuel additives) may include or have one or more surfactants coated thereon. Surfactants facilitate the suspension of one or more types of particles in the fuel, prevent clumping, and promote compatibility between the particles and the liquid fuel, among other things. Any suitable surfactant can be used, such as ionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfac...

Abstract

A fuel composition contains a liquid fuel and nano-sized metal particles or nano-sized metal oxide particles or combinations thereof. The nano-sized metal particles and nano-sized metal oxide particles can be used to either improve combustion or increase catalytic chemical oxidation of fuel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to nanometer metal particles and nanometer metal oxide particles for promoting fuel combustion, and a method for improving fuel combustion. Background technique [0002] Engine manufacturers continue to find improved fuel savings through engine design. Methods of improving fuels include formulating new fuels and machine oils. Typically, combustion engines such as automobile engines require high-octane gasoline to operate efficiently. Historically, lead has been added to gasoline to increase octane. However, lead has been removed from gasoline due to health and environmental concerns. Lead is also harmful to catalytic converters, reducing their life. Oxygenates, such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethanol, can be added to gasoline to increase octane. While less harmful than lead, some have suggested that MTBE can lead to groundwater contamination. Also, there is a need to reduce some high octane components such as benz...
