METHOD OF INTENSIFYING COMBUSTION OF HYDROCARBON FUEL Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C10L1/32 C10L1/10 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of increasing efficiency of combustion of hydrocarbon fuel, involving dispersing a catalytic additive in an intermediate liquid medium and adding that mixture to hydrocarbon fuel. The intermediate liquid medium used is water in which a catalytic additive with degree of dispersion of 1-50 nm is uniformly pre-distributed by treating the mixture in a rotary-hydraulic mixer. The aqueous mixture is then added to the hydrocarbon fuel and the fuel-water mixture is then successively treated in a rotary-hydraulic mixer and in a flow-type ultrasonic mixer to form a homogeneous emulsion with water particle size of 100-800 nm. The catalytic additive used is nanopowder of metals, metal oxides or salts.

EFFECT: low consumption of hydrocarbon fuel, low environmental damage.
