Abstract

Nowadays there is a search for alternative motor fuels. In this situation, applied science is actively working on the problem of the search of cheap, high-calorie and environmentally friendly fuel.To solve this problem, the basic technological scheme of processing of real exhaust gases of TPP in a high-octane diesel is developed, and laboratory apparatus (column with cooling tubes) for the synthesis of methanol and dimethyl ether is suggested.The advantage of the developed scheme of reprocessing of real exhaust gases of TPP into high-octane diesel is that the whole process of recycling is carried out in a single cycle. A main advantage of dimethyl ether as a diesel fuel is an environmentally friendly exhaust. The content of toxic components in it (soot is absent, nitrogen oxides content decreases) satisfies the environmental requirements of European normals EURO-3 and EURO-4 without purification of exhaust.Thus, the preparation of dimethyl ether from cheap raw materials - exhaust gases TPP can solve two problems at once - the task of recycling of hazardous substances, air pollutants, and the problem - getting an alternative, environmentally friendly motor fuel.
