In this work the sustainability of Mild combustion for a liquid biofuel, derived from the rapeseed oil, has been investigated using a dual-nozzle (DN) laboratory-scale burner. The experiments, carried out with diesel and biodiesel as fuels, evidenced that the Mild combustion characteristics seem more influenced by the physical state of the fuel than by its chemical composition. These findings support the idea that a DN Mild combustion burner can create a suitable environment for NOx, PAH and soot depression, allowing the use of a wide range of liquid wastes and low-BTU liquid fuels, even with unsteady composition or coming from different sources.

Abstract

In this work the sustainability of Mild combustion for a liquid biofuel, derived from the rapeseed oil, has been investigated using a dual-nozzle (DN) laboratory-scale burner. The experiments, carried out with diesel and biodiesel as fuels, evidenced that the Mild combustion characteristics seem more influenced by the physical state of the fuel than by its chemical composition. These findings support the idea that a DN Mild combustion burner can create a suitable environment for NOx, PAH and soot depression, allowing the use of a wide range of liquid wastes and low-BTU liquid fuels, even with unsteady composition or coming from different sources.
