Evaluation of the Use of Hydrogen Peroxide in Diesel Engine Fuels

The article discusses issues related to the possibility of using 10% hydrogen peroxide in ZS engine fuel to reduce exhaust emissions. The additive proposed by the authors of the article is a 12% hy-drogen peroxide solution. The article presents the results of engine and analytical tests carried out by the authors. The article mainly concerns the emission of toxic substances into the atmosphere in the case of an engine fuelled with standard and modified fuel. Laboratory tests showed that the cetane number increased by two units for the modified fuel. The results of engine tests showed that the fuel additive reduces the concentration of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons, whilst the soot content increased slightly.
