2,5-Dimethylfuran (DMF) as a promising biofuel for the spark ignition engine application: A comparative analysis and review

Being one of the furan-based compounds, 2, 5- dimethylfuran (DMF) is known as a critical platform substance and an ideal green solution on the pathway of finding alternative fuels to assuage the ever- increasing shortage of fossil energy as well as to reduce the negative and dangerous impacts on global climate and environment. Therefore, DMF could be considered as a potential promising biofuel for in-future engines since it was generated from renewable lignocellulosic biomass. In this review paper, the DMF synthesis process from current biomass through the catalyst-based reactions was thoroughly analyzed. Furthermore, the spray and flame characteristics of DMF in comparison to commercial gasoline and ethanol were completely evaluated. More interestingly, the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of spark ignition engine running on gasoline, ethanol, and DMF-based fuels were discussed in detail. Finally, the comparison of the effects of DMF properties on the SI engine knocking as well as the characteristics of lubrication and wear were also performed. In general, DMF could become a new-fashioned alternative fuel for spark ignition engines although the optimization strategies on the DMF production process should be conducted before commercializing and realizing in the near future.
