Oxygenated Compounds and Diesel Engine Pollutant Emissions Performances of New Generation of Products

To reduce pollutant emissions coming from transportation, different solutions are available: technology improvement and fuel reformulation. Concerning the diesel fuels, the reformulation can be done through an evolution of the classical families of compounds as, for example, level of polyaromatic content or through a very promising way to reduce particulate emissions which is the introduction of oxygenated compounds. Many works have already been done and have confirmed the interest of these compounds. This paper is dedicated to a new approach of synthesis or selection of oxygenated compounds.
