Recent progress in the application in compression ignition engines and the synthesis technologies of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODE) have higher cetane number and oxygen content than mostly used oxygenated fuels. Thus, PODE are believed to be a promising fuel substitute for compression ignition engines and have been intensively studied in compression ignition engines. In recent 5 years, due to the technical breakthrough for industrialized production of PODE in China, PODE property measurement, synthesis technology and application in...
