• Dimethyl carbonate (DMC, CH3O(CO) OCH3), a
  carbonate ester, is a flammable liquid, has a
  pleasant odor, is colorless, transparent, and
  smells similar to methanol. In recent years, it
  has been recommended as an alternative fuel or
  oxygenated additive fuel for diesel/gasoline fuel
  by many researchers. DMC has excellent features
  such as (1) non-toxic production, environmentally
  friendly, non-corrosive, and safe handling, (2)
  high oxygen content, 53.28 by weight, which
  plays an important role in suppressing the soot
  precursor concentration in fuel-rich combustion
  zone through OH radical, (3) 100 miscibility in
  fossil fuels (diesel and gasoline), (4)
  relatively high hydrogen to carbon (H/C) ratio,
  (5) absence of carbon-carbon links in its
  molecular structure, (6) low boiling point, which
  is important in spray atomization and mixing, (7)
  decomposes to form methoxyformyl radical
  (CH3OCO), which is an intermediate key to reduce
  soot formation, and (8) low carbon to oxygen
  (C/O) ratio. Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE,
  C5H12O) has been used as an octane enhancer of
  gasoline fuel to reduce the exhaust emissions
  from gasoline engines.
