FUEL COMPOSITIONS EXHIBITING IMPROVED FUEL STABILITY
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to enhanced structured fuel
compositions for use in jet, turbine, diesel, gasoline, and other
combustion systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to
fuel compositions using viscous hydrocarbons, which are substantially
neutral pH, and which employ a silicon based combustion catalyst.
Background of the Invention
International patent application Nos. PCT/US95/02691,
PCT/US95/06758, and PCT/US96/09653, are incorporated in their
entirety herein by reference, and disclose fuel compositions and
combustion techniques for achieving vapor phase combustion based on
an enhanced combustion structure ("ECS"). This enhanced
combustion structure includes a combustible metallic and free radical
generating oxygenated compound. It has been found that such free
radical generating oxygenates include C2 - C12 aldehydes, aldehydic
acids, C2 -C 12 ethers, C 1 - C 15 alcohols, C2 - C 12 oxides, C3 - C 15
ketones, ketonic acids, C3 - C15 esters, othroesters, C3 - C12 diesters,
C5 -C12 phenols, C5 - C20 glycol ethers, C2 - C12 glycols) C3 - C20
alkyl carbonates, C3 - C20 dialkyl carbonates, C3 - C20 di-carbonates,
C 1 to C20 organic and inorganic peroxides, hydroperoxides, carboxylic
acids, amines, nitrates, di-nitrates, oxalates) phenols, acetic acids)
boric acids, orthoborates, hydroxyacids, orthoacids, anhydrides,
acetates, acetyls, formic acids, nitrates, di-nitrates) nitro- ethers, which
can meet minimum burning velocity (BV) and latent heats of
vaporization (LHV) requirements of aforementioned PCT Applications.
Specific compounds can be found in detail in Organic Chemistry 6th
Ed, T.W.G. Solomons, John Wiley & Sons) N.Y., (1995), Physical
Chemistry, 5th Ed, P.W. Atkins, Oxford University Press, U.K. (1994),
Physical Organic Chemistry, 2 Ed, N.S. Issacs, John Wiley & Sons,
N.Y. (1995) and Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, 14th Ed, J.A. Dean,
McGraw-Hill, N.Y. (1992), and their minimum BV/LHV requirements in
aforementioned PCT Applications, which are herein by incorporated by
reference.
Said enhanced combustion structure oxygenates, when in
combination with a combustible non-lead metal or non-metal (as set
1


CA 02274607 1999-06-09
WO 98/26028 PCT/I1S97122046
forth below), exhibit high heats of enthalpy capable, improved
combustion, thermal efficiency, fuel economy, and power. Of
particularly interest to this invention are the enhanced combustion
struture oxygenates of symmetrical dialkyl carbonates, especially
dimethyl and diethyl carbonates.
However) it has been reported symmetrical dialkyl carbonates,
such as dimethyl carbonate can be problematical fuel additives due to
their potential instability in fuel compositions, which can result in
undesired hydrolysis in acidic and aqueous environments. See EPO
Application # 91306278.2 Karas. Thus, it would be reasonable to
expect fuels containing lower dialkyl carbonates to store and perform
optimally only when in moderately strong or strongly alkaline
environments) i.e., pH's exceeding 11 or more. Fuels having pH's lower
than 11, e.g. moderately alkaline, nuetral and acidic would be expected
to be problematic.
In addition, conventional thinking and regulatory standards
encourage the utilization of more refined less viscous base fuel
hydrocarbons. The longer chain or more complex hydrocarbons, e.g.,
heavy oils, heavy fuel oils, diesels, etc., are typically not preferred as
fuels due to handling, emission and combustion concerns.
Summary of the Invention A primary object of the present
invention is the development and utilization of fuels having enhanced
combustion structure which have increased stability. A further object of
the present invention is the development of enhanced combustion
structured in which the base fuel may be more viscous, or not as highly
refined, as now required to meet minimum fuel standards. A further
object is the employment of a co-metallic catalyst, which further
enhances the combustion structure of the DMC and metal/non-metals
component, further improving thermal efficiency, fuel economy) power
and emissions.
In accordance therewith, the substantially non-alkaline fuel
compositions of the present invention exhibits improved stability, with
no apparent hydrolysis after storage for six months or more. In
addition, the presence of lower dialkyl carbonates and metals in the
fuel compositions of the present invention allows for the use of highly
viscous base fuels.
The improved fuels described herein contain a base hydrocarbon
fuel or propellant (including hydrogen) co-fuel, as provided in the PCT
2


CA 02274607 1999-06-09
WO 98/26028 PCT/US97/22046
applications referenced above. Such co-fuels may be viscous,
moderately viscous, or highly viscous (e.g. having viscosities outside
industry standards). Said viscous fuels are combined with high energy
non-lead metallic or non-metallics (presented below), together with
symmetrical dialkyl carbonates, e.g., dimethyl or diethyl carbonate, and
preferably a silicon co-metallic combustion catalyst. When the fuel
compositions of the present invention are then constructed to a weakly
alkaline (7.5 to 11.0 pH), substantially neutral (6.5 to 7.5 pH), or acidic
(4.5 to 6.5 pH), whether or not water is present, they exhibit improved
stability with no substantial hydrolytic propensity.
Detailed Descri~ation of the Present Invention
The improved fuel composition of the present invention includes
an alkyl carbonate (dimethyl andlor diethyl carbonate) a metal or non-
metallic compound, more fully described below, and optionally a silicon
catalyst, co-fuel(propellant), andlor oxidizer. So long as the
composition is not strongly alkaline, i.e., has a pH of from 3.0 to about
70.5, hydrolysis of the fuel composition is avoided. A desirable pH
range of the fuel composition of the present invention is from
approximately 4.5 to approximately 10.5, with a more desirable pH
range of from approximately 4.5 to approximately 9.5. An even more
desireable pH range is from approximately 4.5 to 9Ø Another highly
preferred pH range is from approximately 5.5. to 8Ø A preferred pH
range is from approximately 4.5 to approximately 6.5. The most
preferred pH range for the fuel composition of the present invention is
from approximately 6.3 to approximately 6.8.
When the pH of the fuel composition of the present invention is
less than 11.0, preferably 10.5 or below, 9.5 or below) and more
preferably 8.5 or below, the fuel, whether anhydrous or hydrous, may
be stored at ambient temperature for up to 6 six months without
substantial apparent hydrolysis.
For example, Fuel A containing 5% by volume dimethyl
carbonate, 95% by volume unleaded regular grade commercially
available 87 octane (R+M)/2, 1/8 gram Mn/gal of
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, a pH of 7.0, and 5% by
volume of water, was stored for six months, the fuel exhibited no
apparent hydrolysis.
3


CA 02274607 1999-06-09
WO 98/26028 PCT/US97/22046
When such fuel composition was titrated with acetic acid to a pH
of 6.4, still containing 5% by volume of water (Fuel B) and was then
stored for six months, the fuel exhibited no apparent hydrolysis.
However, when a fuel composition containing dimethyl carbonate
and cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl was prepared with a pH of
approximately 11, contained 5% by volume of water and was stored for
six months, the fuel showed slight evidence of hydrolysis. The same
fuel at a pH of 12.5, however, showed stronger evidence of hydrolysis.
It should be appreciated that although acetic acid was used to
acidify the pH of the fuel in the present case, many other fuel soluble
acids, including but not limited to benzoic acid derivatives e.g. 2,4-
dimethyl benzoic acid, methyl red, p-tert- butyibenzoic acid, 2-(1-
methylethyl) benzoic acid, benzoic acid anhydride, 4-benzoyl benzoic
acid, 2,4-dihdroxy benzoic acid, 2,4- dimethyl-benzoic acid, 3-ethoxy
benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-4-methyl benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy benzontrile,
4-methoxy benzotrile, acetic acid derivatives) e.g. anhydride acetic
acid, chloroacetic acid, decyl ester acetic acid, dibromoacetic acid) and
the like, may be employed. See for example CRC Handbook of
Chemistry and Physics, 75th Ed, Lide, CRC Press (1994-1995)
"Dissociation Constants for inorganic Acids and Bases," and
"Dissociation Constants for Organic Acids and Bases," incorporated
herein by reference.
Naturally, acidic fuel components, which are indigenous to the
either the base fuel composition, e.g. individual fuel components,
metallic, DMC, or an additional ECS component (e.g. aldehydic acids,
ketonic acids, carboxylic acids, hydroxyacids, orthoacids, formic acids,
and the like) are desireable, and should be employed/modified first to
achieve minimum pH's, prior to addition of an additive acid. Thus, the
pH of the composition may be tailored using normal hydrocarbon fuel
components, dialkyl carbonates, and metallic(s) to achieve requisite
pH. However, individual circumstances will dictate proper approach and
additive acids are contemplated.
Naturally) acidic metals of this invention may be used individually
and/or in conjunction with one or more other metallics to reduce pH.
Non-limiting examples of such acidic metallics include binary, ternary
and higher metallic acid salts, hydroxy acids, etc. Other non-limiting
compounds are set forth below and include for example, oxamic acid,
lithium acetate acid, lithium salt acetic acid, propanoic acid lithium salt,

WO 98/26028 PCT/US97/22046
cyclohexanebutyric acid lithium salt, aminobenzoie acid lithium salt,
borate ester, dimethyl borate) di- n-butyl borate, dicyclohexyl borate,
didodecylborate) di-p-cresyl borates, boric acids, orthoborates,
henylboronic acid) diphenylboronic acid, o-tolylboronic acid, p-
tolylboronic acid, m- tolylboronic acid, cylohexylboronic acid,

dicylohexylboronic acid, dicylohexenylboronic acid,
dicyclopentylboronic acid, methyldiphenylboronic acid,
bis[(methyl)cylohexyl]boronic acid) bis[(rnethyl)cyclopentyl]boronic acid,
bis[(methyl)benzyl]boronic acid, bis[(dimethyl)phenyl]boronic acid,
bis[(dimethyl)- cylohexyl]boronic acid, bis[(dimethyl)cyclopentyl]boronic
acid, or bis[(dimethyl)benzyl]boronic acid. Many other acidic metallics
are set forth below and contemplated.
If an additive acid is employed, it is preferred it be compatible
with the base fuel and have low toxicity, low corrosivity, and be as
envirnomentally friendly as possible.
PCT/US95/02691 and PCT/US95/06758 disclose compositions
and methods achieving vapor phase combustion employing
symmetrical dialkyl carbonates and certain non-leaded high energy
metals and non-metals (herein "metals"). It has been discovered in the
construction of a fuel composition, which employs one metal or a
mixture of metals, together with at least one C3 to C13 dialkyi
symmetrical carbonate, as taught therein, improved fuel stability can be
obtained when the pH is kept as close to neutral as possible, such that
if alkaline, it is only weakly alkaline (i.e., preferably equal or less than
11.0, 10.5, 10.0, 9.5, 9.0, 8.5, 8.0 pH), but that it preferably be either
substantially neutral (i.e., 6.5 to 7.5) or slightly acidic (6.3 to 6.9 pH).
Anhydrous fuels or substantially anhydrous fuels are
contemplated and particularly preferred when employing water reactive
group la, Ila, Ilb, IIIA metals and derivative compounds. Other
circumstances will require anhydrous fuels as well, e.g. jet aviation
applications, etc. Although anhydrous fuels are preferable, when the
fuel compositions of the present invention have a pH in the preferred
range of from approximately 10.5 to 4.5, there is no apparent


CA 02274607 1999-06-09
WO 98/26028 PCT/LTS97/22046
hydrolysis, even when such fuels include an aqueous layer. When the
pH of the fuel composition is in the preferred range, the composition
may contain water up to 10.0% by volume of the fuel with no apparent
hydrolysis of the organic phase after six months of storage.
It should be appreciated in the practice of this invention and the
examples set forth herein, it is only required that a hydrocarbon fuel
containing a lower dialkyl carbonate have a pH of less than 10.5. The
addition of metals or non-metals herein, co-metallics, viscous
hydrocarbons are further embodiments, and not necessary elements to
this aspect of the invention. Thus, the claims below may reflect only a
hydrocarbon fuel containing a lower dialkyl carbonate having a pH of
less than 10.5, absent any additional limitation. As example, a
composition of this invention includes a hydrocarbon base together with
dimethyl carbonate or diethyl carbonate, said composition adjusted
such that its maximum pH is 10.5 of less, a more preferred pH is 6.8 or
less.
Acidity level of fuels is sometimes measured in terms of
equivalents, e.g., equivalents of KOH required to neutralize the fuel
composition. The fuels of the present invention show improved
operation at acidity levels which are 100%, 150%, 200%, 300%, or
more, above such standards. Acidity levels below such standards,
including those at least 50% less, are expressly contemplated. Also by
way of example, when the fuel compositions of the present invention
are used in jet turbine engines, such fuels typically must meet ASTM D
1655 specifications {incorporated herein by reference) or other
international specifications, including maximum acidity levels ASTM D
3242 and IP 354 standards. However, it is believed that the increased
efficiency of the fuels of the present invention are less destructive to
engines during combustion, and operation with lower pH's than
presently acceptable. International, industry and government fuel
standards, including ASTM, IP, GOST, DERD, MIL, AN, U.S. Clean Air
Act, California Air Resources Board, and Swedish/European EPEFET
standards, etc., governing hydrocarbon fuels containing applicant's
alkyl dicarbonateslmetal are incorporated herein by reference.
When the fuel compositions of the present invention have a pH in
the desired range of from approximately 4.5 to 11.0, stability is
maintained and hydrolysis is substantially avoided so long as fuel
storage temperature is at or below 90°F. Preferably, the fuel
6


CA 02274607 1999-06-09
WO 98/2602$ PCT/US97/22046
compositions of the present invention have pH's less than 10.5 and are
stored at or below 65°F. When Fuels A and B, described above, were
stored at 65°F during the period from 6 months after mixing to 9
months after mixing, fuel stability was maintained without apparent
hydrolysis.
In addition to the preferred pH ranges described above, it is
further contemplated that Applicant's pH adjusted hydrocarbon based
fuels will additionally contain known additive, including but not limited
to antioxidants, co-solvents, metal deactivators, detergents,
dispersants, corrosion inhibitors, mutual solvents, oxygenated anti-
knock compound (e.g. hydrocarbyl ethers, alcohois, etc.), other
additive, and additive set forth in incorporated PCT Applications. Said
known additive is incorporated herein by reference.
A preferred fuel of the present invention comprises 1) dimethyl
carbonate or dimethyl carbonate, representing 0.1 % to 99.5% wt of
composition; 2) at least one metal as set forth below, representing
0.01 % to 99.5% wt of composition; optionally a metal deactivator
representing 0.00001 % to 10.0% wt of composition, or an antioxidant
representing 0.00001 % to 10.0% wt, or a detergent/dispersant
representing 0.00001% to 10.0% wt, or an ignition promoter
representing 0.000001 % to 20.0% wt, or a demulsifier representing
0.00001 % to 10.0% wt, or a co-solvent or salt representing 0.000001
to 40.0% wt, or a hydrocarbon representing 0.1 % to 99.0% volume of
the composition, or a silicon based combustion catalyst {described
below) representing 0.000001 % to 80.0% wt, or mixture. Said fuel is
constructed with a pH no greater than 11.0 or 10.5, and preferrably
less than 9.5. More preferably, the pH is from 6.3 to 6.8. When such
fuel is a jet aviation turbine hydrocarbon based-fuel, preferred acidity
does not exceed equivalent of 0.1 mg KOH/g.
As described in the aforementioned PCT applications, the
presence of a co-solvent is also preferred, so long as pH is maintained.
Co-solvents that enhance mutual solubility of fuel components, fuel
stability, water tolerance are preferred {e.g. C1 to C12 alcohols,
alkanolamines, etc.). These are known in the art and incorporated
herein by reference. Additionally, co-solvents that increase flash point
or reduce vapor pressure are contemplated. Non-limiting examples
include, ethanetriols, propanetriols, butanetriols, 1,2,3 butanetriol,
pentanetriols, 1,2,3 pentanetriol, 2,3,4 pentanetriol, hexanetriols,

septanetriols, octanetriols, or tertraethylene glycol, triethylene glycol,
1-octene, high flash point ketone, naphthalenes, triethylene glycol,
trimethylene glycol, isopropyl acetone) diisopropyl acetone, diisopropyl
diacetone, diethylene acetate, diethylene diacetate, ethylene acetate
compound, phenol, or other flash point temperature reducing co-solvent
set forth in aforementioned PCT Applications. Co-solvents should not
be corrosive or hazardous to fuel systems.
It is desirable the resultant fuel be constructed to have an
average latent heat of vaporization (LHV) no less than typical industry
standards. Prefered LHV's are generally greater. For example, the
latent heat of vaporization or enthalpy of vaporization ( vapH(Tb)/kJ
mol-7 ) for commercial grade diesel, gas turbine, or fuel oils range from
about 90 to 105 btu/lb (at 60°F) or 18 to 21 jK/mole or (at boiling
temperatures). Likewise, commercial motor gasolines have a LHV
ranging from 135 to 145 btu/Ib or 27 to 29 jK/mole, aviation gasolines
about 130 to 150 btu/Ib or 26 to 30 jk/mole, and aviation jet fuels about
105 to 115 btu/Ib or 21 to 23 jKlmole.
Thus, it is preferred that the LHV for commercial grade diesel,
gas turbine, or fuel oils at 60°F exceed 105 btu/Ib or 21 jK/mole (at
boiling temperatures), for commercial motor gasolines LHV's should
exceed 145 btu/Ib or 29 jK/mole, for aviation gasolines LHV's should
exceed 150 btu/lb or 30 jk/mole, and for aviation jet fuels LHV's should
exceed 115 btu/lb or 23 jK/mole. LHV's at least 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%,
30% or greater than these amounts are however preferred.
The burning velocities (as measured by laminar Bunsen burner
flame) for commercial grade diesel, gas turbine, and fuel oils range
from about 35-37 crn/sec, kerosine about 36 cmlsec, automotive
gasoline about 47-50 cm/sec, aviation gasoline about 45-47 cm/sec,
aviation jet fuels about 36-38 cm/sec. Methanol is reported at 57.2
cm/sec. Thus, in Applicant's fuels it is desireable that burning
velocities for commercial grade diesel) gas turbine, and fuel oils exceed
37 cm/sec, kerosine exceed 36 cm/sec, automotive gasoline exceed 50
cm/sec, aviation gasoline exceed 47 cm/sec, and aviation jet fuels
exceed 38 cm/sec. However, BV's at least 2%, 5%) 10%, 20%, 30%, or
greater than above speeds are preferred.
It is also desirable that the hydrocarbon based fuels have high
possible allowable densities. High densities of base fuels permit higher
concentrations of metallics and dialkyl carbonates. For example,
8


CA 02274607 1999-06-09
WO 98/26028 PCT/US97/22046
aviation turbine densities equal or exceeding 841 kg/m3 @ 15°C are
contemplated. More generally, the fuel compositions of the present
invention allow for base fuel densities of from 840 to 1200 kg/m3 @
15°C, and even 900 to over 1200 kg/ m3 @ 15°C. Moderate, low) to
very low densities are also contemplated so long as the increased
burning velocity object of above PCT Applications is accomplished and
a pH is not greater than 10.5, preferably below 9.0, and most
preferably from 6.3 to 6.8 is maintained.
Moreover, highly viscous hydrocarbon fuel bases with viscosities
above fuel specification, are unexpectedly brought to within fuel
viscosity limits by the addition of dialkyl carbonates and metal. For
example, is has been found that a diesel fuel oil having a viscosity of
2.6 mm2/S at 40o C was acceptably combined with dimethyl carbonate
representing 5% volume of the composition, and 2.0 grs Mn/gai of
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). The resultant
fuel composition had a lower viscosity of 2.4 mm2/S at 40o C. In this
way, highly viscous fuels can be adapted by the addition of applicant's
ingredients, whereby non-conforming highly viscous fuels can be made
less viscous and brought into compliance with ASTM or other
specification (herein incorporated by refererence).
Also by way of example, Jet A hydrocarbon bases having a
viscosity of 8.1 to 15.0 or more, (ASTM 445) can be adapted to meet
the current 8.0 mm2/sL at -20°C standard by addition of the
components described above. Alternatively, base fuel viscosity of from
13.5 to 23.0 Cs at -30°F, or more, may be met by the addition of the
components described above.
Similarly, a gas oil turbine hydrocarbon base may have maximum
kinetic viscosities at 40°C equal or exceeding 2.45 to 7.0, or greater,
mm2/s for ASTM D 445 No. 1-GT fuels, and be adapted to meet the 2.4
standard, by addition of the components described herein.
Alternatively, base fuel kinetic viscosities of 4.15 to 6.0, or more,
mm2/s for ASTM D 445 No. 2-GT fuels, may be adapted to meet the
4.1 standard by addition of applicantps additives, as described herein.
In an analogous manner, a diesel fuel oil base may have
maximum kinetic viscosities at 40°C equal or exceeding 2.45 to 7.0) or
greater, mm2ls for ASTM D 445 low sulfur or regular No. 1-D fuels, and
be adapted to meet the 2.4 standard by addition of appiicantbs
additives. Alternatively, a diesel fuel oil base having maximum kinetic
9

WO 98/26028 PCT/US97/22046
viscosities of 4.15 to 9.0 or more, mm2/s for ASTM D 445 low sulfur or
regular No. 2-D fuels, and be adapted to meet the 4.1 standard, by
addition of applicantbs additives. Similarly, fuels having a maximum
kinetic viscosity of 24.5 to 60.0 ore more mm2/s for ASTM D 445 No. 4-
D fuels, and be adapted to meet 24.0 by addition of applicantps
additives. Additionally, a low emission diesel base may have
viscosities exceeding 2.45 to 5.5, or more, cSt at 40°C (where 1 mm2/s
= 1 cSt), and be adapted to meet the 2.4 standard.
Furthermore, a fuel oil base may have kinetic viscosities equal or
exceeding 2.15 10.0, or more, rnm2/s at 40°C ASTM D 445 for No. 1
fuels, and can be adapted to the 2.1 standard by addition of
applicantps additives. A fuel base having kinetic viscosities of from
3.45 to 10,0, or more, mm2/s at 40°C ASTM D 445 for No. 2 fuels can
be similarly adapted to meet 3.4. A fuel base having kinetic viscosities
of 5.55 to 25.0 or more, mm2/s at 40°C ASTM for D 445 No. 4 fuels
(Light), may be similarly adapted to meet 5.5. A fuel base having
kinetic viscosities of from 24.5 to 40.0, or more, mm2/s at 40°C ASTM
D 445 for No. 4 fuels (regular), may be adapted to meet 24. A fuel
base having kinetic viscosities of from 8.95 to 25.0, or more, mm3/s at
100°C ASTM D 445 for No. 5 fuels (Light), may be adapted to meet 8.9.
A fuel base having kinetic viscosities of from 15.0 to 30.0, or more)
mm3/s at 100°C ASTM D 445 for No. 5 fuels (Heavy), may be adapted
to meet 14.9. A fuel base having kinetic viscosities of from 50.5 to
80.0, or more, mm3/s at 100°C ASTM D 445 for No. 6 fuel oils, and
adapted to meet 50Ø
Similarly, a heavy diesel, locomotive or marine engine base fuel,
exceeding ISO DIS 8217, BS MA 100, government andlor other
industry viscosity specifications, but adapted to meet such standards
(incorporated by reference), typically uncorrected viscosity exceeds
such standards by 1.0, 2.0,10.0, 50.0) or more centistokes at 50°C.
Applicant has discovered by incorporating his lower dialkyl carbonates
and metals, fuels having excessive viscosities can meet government, or
other viscosity standards.

METALS PRACTICE
in the practice of this invention contemplated metallics include all
non-lead metals, metalloids, and non-metals (herein "metals" or
"metallics")) and their derivative compounds, whose combustion
product accomplishes primary object of vapor phase combustion, which
is evidenced by a brilliant luminous reaction zone extending some
distance from the metal's surface. Such combustion does not take
place on the surface of the metal) or on and/or within the molten layer
of oxide covering the metal, typical of heretofore metallic combustion.
Distinguishing vapor phase combustion is that its combustion is
expansive with elevated exhaust velocities, and resultant metallic oxide
particles are formed in the submicron range. Typically fuel economy,
power output, exhaust emissions, combustion temperatures are
materally improved.
Thus, a very wide range of acceptable metals and derivative
compounds are contemplated. Group IA (alkali metals), IIA (alkaline
earths) elements, the transition elements/metals of group Illb, IVb, Vb,

Desireable metal containing cyclomatic compounds are those
with cyclic rings having high burning velocities. The higher the burning
the velocity, generally the higher the preference. Generally larger rings
have higher burning velocities compared to smaller rings. Thus, a
cyclooctane ring is preferred over cyclohexane, which is perferred over
a cyclobutane ring. Saturated rings are normally more perferred over
unsaturated rings. The more saturated the ring the more preferred.
Thus, cyclohexane is preferred over benzene. Ring systems where the
metal is in turn attached to one or more a hydroxyl, carbonyl, an
alkyloxy radicals is preferred.

It is to be noted the above list is not exhaustive. The metals and
their derivative compounds of this invention include every metal,
metalloid, and/or non-metal (herein "metal" or "metallic") capable of
acheiving vapor phase combustion, individually or incombination with
DMC.
Applicant's invention contemplates wide variation in metal
substitution and mixing practice. Thus, it is expressly contemplated the
non-lead organo-metallics, non-lead inorganic metallics, and/or their
related high heat releasing compounds, including those set forth above
may be mixed in varying proportions, and/or substituted and/or
replaced by any non-lead metallic or non-metallic (organic or inorganic
[atom, molecule or compound, including those containing nitrogen,
sulfur) chlorine, fluorine, helium, neon, argon) krpton, xenon, or radon
atoms)) accomplishing the object of this invention.
Derivative compounds and combinations may be entirely or may
contain in part or whole non-metal atoms, e.g. nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine,
fluorine, helium, neon, argon, krpton, xenon, or radon, etc., so long as
primary object of vapor phase combustion is accomplished. It is
contemplated said non-metals will employed in varying proportions
within the compound or combination compounds to achieve synergistic
improvements in heat releases, burning velocity, thermal efficiency,
emissions, power generation, and the like. For example,
hexamethylphosphoric triamide, N,N,N',N'- hexamethylsilanediamine,
bis(diethylamono)-dimethyisilane may be added as a co-metallic in
minor amounts to the composition to further improve vapor phase
combustion (e.g further enhancing fuel ecomony or power, etc.).
Ranges vary depending upon the specific metallic, fuels, fuel
weight, regulations, advance applications, thermodynamics, and the
extent combustion systems are modified to enhance the accelerated
low temperature high energy nature of Applicant's invention. Thus,
metallic concentrations that maximize combustion velocity and/or the
vapor phase combustion object of this invention are expressly
contemplated.

Thus, it is contemplated Applicant's metals are substitutents in
the fuel, itself, which may also contain certain non-metals and their
derivative compounds, including but not limited to nitrogen, sulfur,
fluorine, chlorine, helium, neon, argon, krpton, xenon, or radon, in
combination with dialkyl carbonates. These non-metals, and their
derivative compound, may be employed with or without any other
contemplated metals. It is further contemplated to substitute or mix
these non-metallics with non-metallics, with metaliics, or to mix
metallics with metallics, etc., to achieve synergistic improvements in
heat releases, burning velocity, thermal efficiency, emission reductions,
power generation) and the like. This is set forth below in the practice of
trimethoxymethylsilane. However, it is contemplated that Applicant's
fuel also be absent any metal or non-metal. That is, Applicant's
invention) by accelerating burning velocity and/or increasing latent heat
of vaporization, adn/or reducing combustion temperatures by fuel
substituent tailoring, chemical and/or mechanical means, as set forth
herein or in my co-pending Applications, said fuel can be employed
absent either DMC or a metallic or non-metallic.
in accordance with this invention, Applicant's fuels will contain
that amount of at least non-lead metallic) which constitutes a
combustion improving amount consistent with the fuel composition)
stoichiometry, combustion system, efficiencies, fuel economy and
power desired, as well as legal and/or environmental considerations.
It is expressly contemplated that Applicant's metallics be
incorporated into liquid fuel systems by means of mutual solvents,
mutual dispersents/solvents, colloidal media, suspension media, or
other known means, or being separately injected. Metallic's, which are
solid at ambiant temperatures may be introduced into the
combustor/combustion chamber by liquidification or gasification means.
It is preferred the metallics of this invention be relatively
inexpensive to manufacture on a mass production basis.
The metal and concentration amounts are to be optimized, such
that vapor phase combustion results. Thus, the metal and its optimum
concentration amount, is an amount that results in vapor phase
combustion, which is evidenced by improved fuel economy, emissions,
power, etc. In the practice of this invention, the ratio of dialkyl
carbonates (DMC) by weight to elemental metal weight concentration is
equal to or less than 10,000:1 (by parts) to 1:1, including from

contained therein (e.g. 50:1 to 30:1 ) and also 1:1 to 1:20, or other ratio
that maximizes vapor phase combustion.
Metallic salts may be employed in fuels at 0.01 to 4000.0 parts
metallic per million fuel, 1.0 to 150 ppm metallic being contemplated,
with concentrations equal or less than 50.0, 40.0, 30.0, 20.0, 16.0,
10.0, 5.0 ppm metallic also contemplated. Other salt concentrations
will vary from 0.10 to 75.0 ppm metal per million, from 30.0 to 2000.0
per million, from 25 to 750 parts metallic or salt per million fuel. In the
application of Applicant's invention elemental metal concentrations
from 3.0 to 500.0 ppm metal are expressly contemplated and desirable.
Concentrations outside these ranges are contemplated.
It has been found that higher oxygen weight concentrations in
fuel compositions, particularly with higher concentrations of enhanced
combustion properties, permit higher acceptable metallic
concentrations. Higher average fuel densities are also associated with
higher acceptable metallic concentrations and higher exhaust
velocities, and are preferred. Engine combustion thermal dynamics
and stoichiometry dictate upper metallic limits.
As noted above, elemental metallic concentrations will vary
substantially. Non-limiting examples include elemental metallic
concentrations equal to or greater than 1/64 grams/gal) preferably 1.0
or more grams/gal, more preferably 10 or more grams/gal, even up to
90 grams/gal. Indeed, in advance aviation, rocket and/or propellant
applications, elemental metal concentrations can be on the order of
100 to 1000 or more grams/gal, especially in hypergolic conditions.
Concentrations above these ranges are also contemplated. Ali
combustion improving or stoichiometric amounts of elemental metal are
contemplated, which maximize combustion so long as the resultant
fuel's burning velocity increases compared to fuel absent metallic.
Thus, metallic concentrations that maximize combustion velocity
and/or other objects of this invention are expressly contemplated.
Ranges will vary depending upon the specific metallic, its
concentration, concentration and type of dialkyl carbonate,
concentration and nature of hydrocarbon fuel composition, including its
density, the intended application, relevant thermodynamics, extent

combustion systems are modified to enhance the accelerated low
temperature high energy nature of Applicant's invention, environmental
regulation, and the like. Metallics used in the fuel compositions of the
present invention should be fuel soluble generally having melting and
boiling ranges compatible with liquid hydrocarbons, or be incorporated
into liquid fuel systems by means of mutual solvents, dispersants, or
other means, as required. Alternatively, the metallics may be
introduced into the combustor/combustion chamber of liquide or
gaseous fuels (e.g. natural gas) by separate means, including separate
injection, liquidification or gasification, colloidal media, suspension
media. Metallics may be introduced into the combustor in an atomized,
vaporized, or gasified form, separately and/or in combination with the
other ingredients of the invention.
In solid fuel applications, the metallic may be introduced as a
solid. In hybrid applications, it may be introduced as either as solid,
liquid or gas, together with the balance of the invention's ingredients.
Most preferably, the metallic is employed as a propellant or co-
propellant, or jointly together with a propellant. Hydrogen content of
the metallic andlor metallic containing fuel should be maximized, to the
extent possible.
It is preferred practice that metals herein have oxides whose
heats of formation are negative, and should be equal or exceed (e.g.
be more negative) about -10,000 to -75,000 calories/mole. More
preferred are those equal or exceeding -100,000 to -400,000 gr
calories/mole, and greater (more negative). Acceptable simple oxides
containing one or two oxygens may have heats of formation equal or
exceeding -50,000 to -200,000, or greater, calories/mole.
It is also desirable the element metal employed in this invention
be of a low relative molecular weight. Acceptable metals have
molecular weights of 100 or less, preferably 79 or less, more preferably
40 or less, and most preferably 30 or less.
Applicant's fuel may include gaseous and solid metals and/or
their related compounds. It is preferred the combustion products of the
metals be environmentally friendly, e.g. low or no toxicity. Potassium,
sodium) magnesium, lithium) born, silicon, sodium, iron, copper)
calcium) aluminum, and phosphorus are acceptable. Potassium,
sodium, magnesium, lithium, born, silicon, sodium, iron, and


CA 02274607 1999-06-09
WO 98/2b028 PCT/US97/22046
phosphorus are also acceptable. The related high energy combustible
compounds of these metals are beleive to be environmentally friendly.
Applicant's metals also include a full range of combustion
catalysts including ferrous picrate, potassium salts, Li and LH
promoters. As presented below trimethoxymethyisilane has immediate
application in instant invention and is preferred.
As noted, Applicant's invention, by accelerating burning velocity
and/or reducing combustion temperatures by fuel substituent tailoring,
chemical and/or mechanical means as set forth in above PCT
Applications, can be employed absent a metallic.
Any example or disclosure of Mn may be substituted for any
metal or derivative compound set forth in herein, under proviso said
metallic causes vapor phase combustion. Likewise, wide latitude in
metal substitution is contemplated. Thus, any metal, metalloid, or non-
metal, may be substituted with any other in a particular metallic
compound. That is not to say substitution is blind, but rather if the
element is likely to be advantageously impacted, it may be substituted.
Thus, non-leaded elements and their compounds, may be freely
substituted for one another, herein.
It is preferred that metals in the fuel composition of the present
invention, including oxygenated metallic compounds, contribute to the
fuel's heat of vaporization, its burning velocity, post ignition and pre-
combustion temperatures which enhance generation and combustion of
free radicals, thermal stability at ambient temperature, and have high
heat and energy releasing characteristics, etc.
