No Drawing. Filed July 16, 1969, Ser. No. 842,399 Claims priority, application Great Britain, July 22, 1968, 34,755/ 68 Int. Cl. C10] 1/32 U.S. Cl. 44-51 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Emulsified fuel compositions comprising a hydrocarbon fuel as the disperse phase, an emulsifier, water and urea or formamide as an emulsion stabilizer have improved flow and dernulsification characteristics.
This invention relates to emulsified hydrocarbon fuels. More particularly it relates to emulsified hydrocarbon fuels containing a unique water soluble non-ash forming emulsion stabilizer.
A hydrocarbon fuel or its vapor can burn in an uncontrolled manner and therefore is extremely dangerous if it escapes, for example, from a leaking fuel tank. Such a tank can be a fuel tank of an aircraft, a car, a truck or a ship. In order to reduce this hazard, it is possible to decrease the flow and vaporization rate of a hydrocarbon fuel by emulsifying it with water employing a suitable emulsifying agent. Such an emulsion must have good emulsion stability properties and must also be capable of being pumped at low temperatures, for example -29 C.
It has now been found that an emulsified fuel composition consisting essentially of a hydrocarbon fuel as the disperse phase, an emulsifier, water and urea or formamide as an emulsion stabilizer, has good flow properties and demulsification characteristics. The improved properties of the present compositions are attributed in large part to the presence of the Water soluble non-ash forming emulsion stabilizer, i.e., urea or formamide, which unexpectedly have been found to be highly efficacious in imparting stability to the emulsions of the invention. While formamide is less effective than urea, it is still better than many known stabilizers (see Example 11). The stabilizer can be employed in concentrations of from 0.3% to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.3% to by weight, more preferably from 0.3% to 0.7% by weight.
Hydrocarbon fuels which can be used in the present compositions are those suitable for engines of aircraft (for example, jet or turbojet engines), cars (for example, gasoline engines) or trucks or ships (for example, diesel engines). The fuel thus includes diesel, gasoline and kerosene type distillate fuels boiling within the range 20- 400 C. The hydrocarbon fuel component of the composition forms more than 75%, preferably more than 90% and more preferable more than 95% of the total composition by weight. A preferred maximum concentration of the hydrocarbon is 98.5%.
An excessively high proportion of water cannot be incorporated in the fuel. The water may conveniently be present in the range 0.75% to 12% by weight of the total composition, but amounts in the range 0.75% to 3% are preferred.
A wide range of emulsifiers can be employed in the present compositions. An emulsifier or emulsifier mixture 3,756,794 Patented Sept. 4, 1973 having an HLB of 11-16 (see p. 19, I. See. Cosmetic Chemists, December 1948) is preferred.
An example of a very suitable emulsifier is a condensate of an alkylphenol and an alkyleneoxide. The mole ratio of alkyleneoxide to alkylphenol can be 5:1 to 15:1. Examples of the alkylphenol are C alkylphenols, especially octylphenol, nonylphenol or dodecylphenol. Examples of the alkyleneoxide are ethyleneoxide and propyleneoxide. A particularly advantageous emulsifier is a condensate of an octylphenol and ethyleneoxide, for example, one sold under the trade mark Nonidet P or Triton X-l02. The emulsifier can be employed in concentrations of 0.3% to 5% by weight, preferably 0.5% to 1.5%, although an upper limit of 10% is practicable.
In addition to the foregoing, the emulsified fuels of the invention can also contain a water soluble non-ash forming freezing point depressant. Compounds suitable for this purpose include ammonium salts (for example, ammonium nitrate) or polyols (for example, ethylene glycol or glycerol). Ammonium nitrate has been found to be particularly advantageous in the present compositions. The proportion of depressant may be 0.1% to 10% by weight but preferably is from 0.3% to 0.7%. An emulsified fuel comprising both urea and ammonium nitrate in the preferred proportions shows particularly surprising stability.
Supplementary additives can also be present. Examples of these are anticorrosion additives and antistatic additives. Anticorrosion additives may be required particularly in view of the presence of water in the composition of the invention. Trace quantities of, for example, ethylene diamine, have been found useful in reducing corrosion of iron. Glycerol and ethylene glycol are other examples of anticorrosion agents. Proprietary anticorrosion additives such as Lubrizol 541 (dodecenyl succinic acid) may also be employed in appropriate quantities. The amount of anticorrosion agent will usually be up to 1.0% by Weight.
The invention is illustrated by the following example:

Emulsion H: Percent weight/volume Aviation turbine quality fuel 97.0 Triton X-102 1.0 Water 2.0
The above compositions were made up on a percent weight/volume basis, the hydrocarbon and water being measured by volume and the other components by weight.
