Improving the stability of diesel emulsions with high pyrolysis bio-oil content by alcohol co-surfactants and high shear mixing strategies

Bio-oil from biomass pyrolysis is a clean, sustainable and renewable energy resource. In this study, the emulsification of pyrolysis bio-oil in diesel fuel using a commercial emulsifier (Atlox 4914) and three alcohols (methanol, ethanol and n-butanol) as co-surfactants is investigated, with emphasi...
