The work was purposed to identify the compositions the blended fuel of butanol, gasoline, and water forming the stable emulsions at low temperatures. The previous researches reported that the blending of butanol and gasoline generally employed the synthetic surfactants which were expensive and mixed at room temperatures. It is important to analyze the stability of the substances in the wide range of temperature for it alter significantly on the surface of the planet. The references survey revealed that the works of the compositions of the wet butanol and gasoline at low temperatures are yet published. The present work was successful to blend the butanol, gasoline, and water in stable emulsion without using the surfactant and stabilized in the less of room temperature. Compositions of butanol, gasoline (RONs 90), and water emulsified and stabilized at low temperatures without synthetic surfactants were successfully studied. It was found that aqueous butanol and gasoline formed a stable emulsion at low temperatures and discovered the phase was separated if temperature declined. The compositions of pure butanol, gasoline, and water recorded in stable emulsions using butanol 85.00 % ranged from 75.08–79.24 %, 6.77–11.67 %, and 13.25–13.98 %, respectively, blended at temperatures 0.00–29.70 °C. The usage of butanol 99.50 % caused the change of compositions recorded at 0.71–11.34 %, 88.61–99.29 %, and 0.00–0.06 % blended at 0.00–29.00 °C. It was discovered that the increase of butanol percentage of the fuel after the emulsion was stable tended to the emulsion kept one phase. The emulsion fuels found would be applied to the heat-modified engines operating in wide range temperatures which were below room temperature

This work aims at preparing the blended fuels in a stable emulsion in which the biodiesel was obtained from palm oil with applying the near isochoric subcritical trans-esterification. The work procedures are the following: the preparation chemicals needed; the synthesis of the biodiesel; POME (palm oil methyl ester) analysis; the blending process of the aqueous ethanol-biodiesel (Aq.Et-BD) and ethanol-diesel-biodiesel (Aq.Et-BD-D) whereby they formed in a stable emulsion. It was obtained that the compositions of water, ethanol, and biodiesel using ethanol 94-97% were ranged from 0.69-1.60, 10.74-38.40, and 69.57-88.57%. By employing ethanol with concentration 94-95%, the emulsion appeared many droplets distributed throughout the substance. It was observed by increasing biodiesel composition after a stable emulsion attained the phase did not change. After emulsions blended, the work was proceeded with the measurement of the fuel parameters such as density, SG, API, RPV, flash and pour points, cetane number, and distillation properties.

This study investigates the composition and fuel parameters of a fuel blend of aqueous ethanol and gasoline, with RONs (Research Octane Numbers) of 90 and 92, called pertalite and pertamax in Indonesia, respectively. The emulsion fuel blend of gasoline and ethanol was prepared successfully, and the concentrations ranged from 80 to 98% (v/v). The steps employed in this work are as follows: first, the fermentation of sugar tapped from a palm tree (Arenga pinnata). The obtained liquor containing ethanol was distilled using a reflux still to separate ethanol and water. The purity of the ethanol obtained from the reflux process ranged from 80 to 96%, depending on the column temperature set. Ethanol solutions of 97 and 98% purities were obtained through an absorption method employing lime particles. Subsequently, aqueous ethanol was blended with gasoline manually inside a flask. It was discovered that the minimum ethanol concentration, which could be blended with pertalite to form a single-phase substance, was 80%. By using 80% ethanol in the blending process, the composition ratio of pertalite, pure ethanol, and water was recorded as 1:11.65:2.91 (in volume unit), while this was not the case with pertamax. The minimum ethanol concentration that could be blended with pertamax to form a single-phase emulsion was 88%, with a composition ratio of 1:5.91:0.81. The composition proportions of the three components with 96% ethanol were 1:0.27:0.01 (RON 90) and 1:0.41:0.02 (RON 92). It was observed that the higher the ethanol concentration, the less the amount of ethanol required for the blending process with gasoline to form a single-phase emulsion.
