Combustion Promoters for Hydrocarbon Fuels

  • 70 YEARS OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION – 25 STATE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF CHEMMOTOLOGY OF THE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE OF RUSSIA
  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

We present a review of combustion promoters, including the major classes of organic compounds that can be used in internal combustion engines. We also consider compounds developed that have high promoter action. We give a comparative evaluation of the considered promoters based on analysis of the mechanism of action for the promoters.
