A detailed high-pressure oxidation study of di-isopropyl ether
Résumé
The oxidation of di-iso-propyl-ether (DIPE) was studied in a jet-stirred reactor. Fuel-lean, stoichiometric, and fuelrich mixtures (φ = 0.5-4) were oxidized at a constant fuel mole fraction of 1000 ppm, at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1160 K, at 10 atm, and constant residence time of 0.7 s. The chosen conditions are consistent with our previous studies on ether oxidation. Mole fraction profiles were obtained through sonic probe sampling, and analyzed by gas chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. As opposed to our previous studies on ethers (S. Thion et al. 2017, Z. Serinyel et al. 2018 and 2020), DIPE showed no low-temperature reactivity. Oxidation of the rich mixture showed similarities to pyrolysis producing important quantities of propene and isopropanol, while no iso-propanol is observed under lean conditions. In terms of overall reactivity, DIPE showed smaller fuel conversion compared to other symmetric ethers previously studied. The present data and literature experiments were simulated with our ether oxidation mechanism showing good agreement.
