  • Stripping ethanol from ethanol-blended fuels for use in NOSCR
    Patent number: 7257945
    Abstract: A method to use diesel fuel alchohol micro emulsions (E-diesel) to provide a source of reductant to lower NOx emissions using selective catalytic reduction. Ethanol is stripped from the micro emulsion and entered into the exhaust gasses upstream of the reducing catalyst. The method allows diesel (and other lean-burn) engines to meet new, lower emission standards without having to carry separate fuel and reductant tanks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 10, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 21, 2007
    Assignee: U T Battelle, LLC
