In order to investigate the effect of methanol on the formation of biodiesel particles
scanning electron microscope(SEM)and X-ray small angle scattering(SAXS)were used to analyze the effects of methanol on the scattering intensity
gyration radius and average radius of biodiesel combustion particles by observing the micro morphology and pore structure of particles. With the introduction of fractal theory
morphological features of biodiesel combustion particles were explored with different mixing ratios of methanol. The results showed that the measurement results of particle size of SAXS were consistent with SEM images. There were a large amount of unburned soluble organic matters adhered on the s
urface of biodiesel combustion particles. These unburned soluble organic matters could promote the coalescence and growth of particles as well as the formation of large-sized particles. With the increase of methanol composition in biodiesel mixture
the combustion particles' scattering intensity was gradually enhanced
and the gyration radius and average radius were decreased. The average radius of B100
BM10
and BM20 combustion particles were 17 nm
16.4 nm
and 15.9 nm
respectively by calculating the radius of gyration. With the increase of methanol mixing ratio
the mass fractal dimension of combustion particles increased gradually
and the surface fractal dimension decreased. Mixing with methanol
the biodiesel leaded to more compact structure of particles and more uniform mass distribution. This study based on the control of NO
x
emissions could provide an approach to reducing diesel particulate emission.
