Abstract

Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) is a carbonate ester that can be produced in an environment-friendly way from methanol and CO₂ . DMC is one of the main components of the flammable electrolyte used in Li-ion batteries, and it can also be used as a diesel fuel additive. Studying the combustion chemistry of DMC can improve the use of biofuels and help developing safer Li-ion batteries. Laminar flame speeds of DMC at 318 K, 363 K, and 463 K were measured for various equivalence ratios (ranging from 0.7 to 1.5) in a spherical vessel. Shock tubes were used to measure time histories of CO and H₂O using tunable laser absorption for the first time for DMC. Characteristic reaction times were also measured through OH* emission. Shock-tube spectroscopic measurements were performed under dilute conditions, at three equivalence ratios (fuel-lean, stoichiometric, and fuel-rich) between 1260 K and 1660 K near 1.3 ±0.2 atm, and under pyrolysis conditions (98% + dilution) ranging from 1230 K to 2500 K near 1.3 ±0.2 atm. Laminar flame speed experiments were conducted around atmospheric pressure. Comparison of detailed kinetics models from the literature revealed that none are capable of predicting the data over the entire range of conditions investigated.
