The invention provides an
alcohol-based automotive clean fuel and a preparation method thereof. The
alcohol-based fuel comprises the following components in parts by weight: 60-90 parts of
methanol, 2-10 parts of
ethanol, 1-5 parts of multi-carbon
alcohol, 5-15 parts of aliphatic
ether, 0.2-2 parts of a catalyst, 2-6 parts of
peroxide and 1-3 parts of a
corrosion inhibitor. The alcohol-based fuel prepared by the invention has a relatively high
octane number, which shows that the anti-knock property is good, and knock is not easy to occur when the alcohol-based fuel is used in an engine; the
sulfur content is relatively low, so that the
corrosion to engine parts can be reduced, the emission of
sulfur dioxide is reduced, and the environmental
pollution is reduced; the density is relatively high, so that the
combustion heat value can be improved, and the stability in the storage and transportation processes is higher; the
copper sheet
corrosion grade is low, which shows that the corrosion to
metal is low; compared with the prior art, the alcohol-based fuel has
low emission of HC, CO and
NOx, which indicates that the alcohol-based fuel is greener and cleaner, and the raw materials such as
methanol and
ethanol can be prepared from renewable resources such as wood chips, corncobs, cereals and straws, so that the requirement of
sustainable development is met.
