| Popis: | γ-Valerolactone that can easily be obtained from renewable resources or by valorization of biomass wastes, as proposed was a sustainable liquid by Istvan T. Horvath. Because it was suggested as igniting liquid and lighter fluid, ignition and combustion tests on charcoal briquettes, THC emission, and sustainability calculations were performed. Besides γ-valerolactone, ethyl-levulinate, γ-valerolactone (90% v/v)–ethanol (10% v/v) mixture, and ethyl-levulinate (90% v/v)–ethanol (10% v/v) mixture were tested as biobased lighter fluid candidates. It was revealed that the addition of a small amount of ethanol improved the ignition and combustion properties, helped to ignite the lighter fluids, increased volatility, and shifted the combustion to more complete state; moreover, it lowered the THC emission compared to those of pure compounds. On the basis of the charcoal combustion tests, ethyl-levulinate (90% v/v)–ethanol (10% v/v) mixtures provided the most attractive results. Considering sustainability calculati... |
