Abstract. The chemical stability of fuels is one of the key factors in ensuring the proper operation of combustion engines. Progressive destruction of components of diesel-biodiesel fuels during storage and transportation can adversely affect their physical and chemical parameters. Besides, the destruction of petroleum products under sunlight and the formation of toxic compounds have ecological importance. The purpose of the presented work is to investigate the influence of UV irradiation (А = 300-450 nm) on the chemical content of petroleum diesel and B5, B10, B20, B50, and B100 fuel blends for the 24 h. As biodiesel, the product of transesterification of non-edible Alhagi oil with methanol was used. Chemical changes after irradiation were controlled by the BRUKER FT NMR spectrometer. The relationship between changes in the chemical composition and important physicochemical parameters (density, viscosity, flash point, and cetane index), before and after photochemical destructions was discussed. Based on the obtained results, it was determined that the B20 fuel mixture has more chemical stability after UV irradiation than conventional diesel and other diesel-biodiesel mixtures.

Аннотация. Химическая стабильность топлив является одним из ключевых факторов обеспечения исправной работы двигателей внутреннего сгорания. Прогрессирующая деструкция компонентов дизель-биодизельных топлив при хранении и транспортировке может отрицательно сказаться на их физико-химических показателях. Кроме того, разрушение нефтепродуктов под действием солнечных лучей и образование токсичных соединений имеет экологическое значение. Целью представленной работы является исследование влияния УФ-облучения (А = 300-450 нм) на химический состав нефтяного дизельного топлива и топливных смесей В5, В10, В20, В50 и В100 в течение 24 ч. В качестве биодизеля использовали продукт переэтерификации непищевого масла верблюжьей колючки с метанолом. Химические изменения после облучения контролировали с помощью ЯМР-спектрометра FT BRUKER. Изучена взаимосвязь изменений химического состава и важных физико-химических параметров (плотность, вязкость, температура вспышки, цетановое число) до и после фотохимической деструкции. На основании полученных результатов установлено, что топливная смесь В20 обладает большей химической стабильностью после УФ-облучения, чем обычное дизельное топливо и другие дизель-биодизельные смеси.

INTRODUCTION
Despite the use of diesel fuel having a clear negative impact on the environment, it still remains the leader in terms of consumption among all commercial liquid fuels. The increasing demand for fuel, depletion of fossil fuels, and protection of the environment from the harmful effects of fossil fuels are forcing us to find new alternatives to petroleum fuels. One of the alternative fuels for internal combustion engines is biodiesel. Biodiesel fuels have the potential advantages of lower emissions, longer engine life due to better lubrication, biological decomposition, high cetane number, absence of aromatic, nitrogen and sulfur compounds [1-3].
One of the main factors that ensure the proper operation of diesel engines is the chemical stability of the fuel. During the transportation, storage and ecological pollution, petroleum products are regularly exposed to sunlight, which leads to the progressive destruction of components of fuels with the formation of toxic compounds. Except these, chemical changes seriously affect the physicochemical and exploitation parameters of the fuel, resulting in engine failure [4].
As we know, diesel fuel is a complex mixture obtained from the fractional distillation of crude oil and consists of a mixture of aliphatic, aromatic and olefin hydrocarbons [5]. Biodiesel, one of the most environmentally friendly and alternative fuels, is obtained by transesterification of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with simply alcohols. Diesel and biodiesel fuels contain a certain number of unsaturated compounds with high reactivity. It can lead to chemical changes in the chemical composition of fuels during long-term storage, transportation and pollution. Also, ultraviolet rays from the sun accelerate the decomposition of organic compounds and subject them to photo-destruction [6]. The destruction of components of diesel and biodiesel fuels also has a negative impact on physical and chemical parameters, which in turn can lead to some problems with the regular operation and performance of combustion engines [7].
Considering the above indicated, the purpose of this study is to investigate changes in the chemical composition of diesel and diesel-biodiesel mixtures under ultraviolet irradiation (300-450 nm) and their influence on exploitation properties. Testing of chemical changes under UV was investigated by using NMR spectroscopy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Samples of diesel fuel and Alhagi oil used for the study were obtained from a gas station and a pharmacy in Baku, Azerbaijan.
To stimulate natural solar irradiation, a visible and UV-emitting model PRK2-lV-59 model using a lamp with a wavelength of 300-450 nm was used.
NMR experiments were performed on a BRUKER FT NMR spectrometer (ultraShieldTM Magnet) AVANCE 300 (300.130 MHz for 1H and 75.468 MHz for 13C) with a BVT 3200 variable temperature unit in 5 mm sample tubes using Bruker Standard software (TopSpin 3.1). The 1H and 13C chemical shifts were
referenced to internal tetramethylsilane (TMS). NMR-grade CDCl3 was used for the analysis of fuel blends.
The procedure for preparation of biodiesel. For the synthesis of biodiesel (B100), 0.69 g of KOH was dissolved in 37.5 ml of methanol (CH3OH) without heating (at room temperature). After complete dissolution, 50 g of non-edible Alhagi oil was added to this mixture. The reaction was carried out in a conical flask equipped with a reverse refrigerator and magnetic stirrer at 55 °C for 6 h (rotation speed was maintained at 1000 rpm). After mixing, the reaction mass was kept in the separator funnel for at least 12 h. The reaction mass was divided into 2 layers using a separating funnel: biodiesel in the upper layer and glycerin in the lower layer. It was washed several times with water to remove untreated biodiesel catalysts. 5 g of Na2SO4 was added to the pure biodiesel and filtered throug h filter paper after 12 h of storage. B5, B10, B20, and B50 diesel-biodiesel mixtures were prepared on the basis of received diesel fuel and diesel fuel obtained from filling stations. Biodiesel and diesel-biodiesel mixtures synthesized from non-edible Alhagi oil have been characterized in accordance with the American Test and Materials Standard (ASTM) methods (relative density - D1298, kinematic viscosity - D445, flash point - D93).
Samples of Experiments of UV irradiation. 3 ml of each of B0, B5, B10, B20, B50, B100 samples, prepared in the appropriate proportions with crude diesel and Alhagi biodiesel and were added to the closed glass ampoules. The samples were irradiated for 24 h at room temperature (20 °C) by means of a model lamp PRK2-lV-59, which emits visible and UV (300-450 nm) rays. Within 24 h, visible changes occurred in each of the samples (Fig. 1 and 2). Samples were analyzed on a BRUKER FT NMR spectrometer to determine changes in chemical composition.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
As known, diesel fuel is a complex mixture of aliphatic, aromatic, and olefin hydrocarbons. In diesel fuel, aliphatic hydrocarbons are in the form of normal paraffinic, isoparaffinic, and cycloparaffinic, while aromatic hydrocarbons are benzene and its derivatives: alkylbenzenes, benzo cyclopentane, benzo cyclopentene, tetralin, biphenyl, naphthalene, fluorenes, phenanthrene, etc. [8, 9]. Biodiesel fuel consists of alkyl esters of various fatty acids, which, depending on the oil obtained, contain 1, 2 or 3 un-saturated double bonds [1, 2]. The presence of large amounts of unsaturated compounds with n electrons in diesel and biodiesel fuels confirms the possibility of oxidation, polymerization and other destruction reactions of double bonds, which are commonly accepted mechanisms of photo-destruction during UV irradiation. As a result of the absorption of ultraviolet and visible light, photons collide with n electrons, and these n electrons easily become excited. These changes are likely to indicate that photo-destruction processes are taking place in fuel components under the influence of UV rays [5, 8]. The energy of photons in UV rays with a wavelength of 300-450 nm varies in

the range of about 266-400 kC/mol. During this excitement, physical and photochemical changes occur and photo-destruction processes take place in diesel and biodiesel components [10-12].
The fact that this energy exceeds the dissociation energy of certain unsaturated compounds in diesel and biodiesel fuels leads to the formation of radical centers, resulting in many chemical reactions [13]. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in heavy fuels are the most sensitive to photo-oxidation and are easily destroyed when exposed to sunlight [14]. Solar irradiation and the presence of oxygen cause the oxidation of these hydrocarbons, including various oxygenated hydrocarbons, aliphatic and aromatic ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, fatty acids, esters, epoxides [15].
As shown in Scheme 1 during the photo-oxidation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic ketones are formed, which first carry one oxygen atom and then combine two or more oxygen atoms. The deeper the photo-destruction, these polycyclic ketones can be converted into smaller acids, ketones and epoxides.
In addition to photo-oxidation, polyaromatic hydrocarbons undergo a dimerization reaction under the influence of UV irradiation (Scheme 2) [16-17].
Like polyaromatic hydrocarbons, alkylbenzenes in diesel fuel can be converted into oxygenated com-poundssuch asaromaticketonesandalcohols[18-22].
For example, in the presence of air, under the influence of ultraviolet rays, 1-methylnaphthalene is initially converted to oxidized compounds in the side chain, such as 1-naphthaldehyde, 1-naphthoic acid and 1 naphthalenemethanol and in the next step to the products opened by the ring. Significant dimeriza-

In addition to diesel fuel, biofuels obtained from

the transesterification of fatty acids with simple alcohols can also undergo photochemical transformations. Alhagi oil has the highest percentage of linoleic acid (50-54%), oleic acid (23-29%) and palmitic acid (7-8%) among the additional fatty acids [24]. The unsaturated compounds have a strong effect on the stability of biodiesel. Polyunsaturated esters are more sensitive to oxidation than saturated or unsaturated esters. This is due to the fact that the double bonds in the fatty acid esters are not in the conjugated structures, but in the configuration isolated with methylene. The bis-allicity in

these structures is sensitive to the abstraction of hydrogen by free radicals, which easily form hydroperoxides with elemental oxygen. The resulting peroxides are relatively unstable, reacting intramolecularly to break down the double-bonded compound into low-molecular-weight radicals, which then form acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, olefins, and alkanes. These species, in turn, undergo reactions to form oligomeric and polymer products (Scheme 4) [25-27].
Changes in the samples are clearly visible at first glance for B5, B10, B20, B50, and B100 fuels made from diesel and non-edible Alhagi oil are exposed to UV rays (300-450 nm) for 24 h. After ultraviolet irradiation, the color of the fuel samples darkens (brown), turbidity and a small amount of brown sediment is observed at the bottom of the sample container (Fig. 1 and 2). This precipitation is likely to be caused by the gum formation of fuel compounds [4, 5]. Along with conventional petroleum diesel, visible changes in the color of biodiesel samples are also observed, which indicates that serious chemical

transformations are taking place in the fuel. To discuss these changes, before and after UV irradiation using the 1H NMR spectroscopy method amounts of alkanes, olefins, and aromatic hydrocarbons in diesel and biodiesel fuel samples were determined (Tab. 1). Analyzing the obtained data, we can see different changes in the amounts of paraffin, aromatic, and olefin hydrocarbons in the content of diesel-biodiesel mixtures under UV rays for 24 h.
As seen from Tab. 1, while the concentration of some hydrocarbons decreases, others increase. It is believed that these changes are due to processes such as photo-oxidation, destruction, and polymerization by UV irradiation.
Comparing the NMR 1H spectra of diesel fuel before and after ultraviolet irradiation, we can see the amounts of paraffin hydrocarbons increased under the influence of UV rays, while the amount of aromatic and olefin hydrocarbons decreased. This indicates the possibility of the conversion of aromatic and olefin hydrocarbons to saturated hydrocarbon fragments as a result of the photo-destruction of unsaturated

compounds in diesel fuel. It can be explained that (Scheme 1 and 2) firstly in diesel 2 and 3 ring aromatic hydrocarbons, such as naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene are photo-destroyed by UV irradiation. In this case, as a result of oxidation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) obtained products carrying 1 oxygen atom, such as naphtone (12) and anthrone (13), NMR signals shift to the right in the 1H spectrum to paraffinic hydrocarbons. The decrease of the aromatic and increase of paraffinic hydrocarbons is connected by the formation of 1-3, 5-9, 11-14 type hydrocarbons and saturation of double bonds.
We can note that, as a result of such destruction processes, changes in the physical and chemical parameters of the fuel are also observed: density, flashpoint (for B10, B20 and B100), viscosity, and cetane number decrease. The results of the physical parameters also confirm the results of the 1H NMR. In diesel fuel, the components are destructed to low-viscosity and density compounds compared to primary substances (Tab. 2 and 3). Cetane number of diesel fuel is decreased as a result of the formation of oxygen-containing compounds, such as ketones, alcohols, etc.
After UV irradiation in B5 fuel, a decrease of aromatic and paraffinic hydrocarbons is observed, but an increase in olefin hydrocarbons is observed. Based on obtained results, it is assumed that increasing of olefins is connected to the 5% presence of FAME Alhagi oil with the double bonds. The reason of the decreasing of paraffinic hydrocarbons is due to the replacement of hydrogen in the -CH2- group with -CH-OOH-type hydrogen in the paraffinic hydrocarbons. Decreasing amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons are connected by the formations of 1-3, 5-9, 11, 14 type compounds. Changes in the physical and chemical parameters of B5 fuel are also observed as in conventional diesel fuel (Tab. 2 and 3).
An increase in the amounts of methyl esters of fatty acids in diesel fuel (B10) resulted in an increase in
the amount of paraffin and olefin hydrocarbons after UV irradiation and a decrease in aromatic hydrocarbons. Decreases were observed in the physical and chemical parameters of the fuel, such as density, viscosity, flash point, cetane number. The decrease of the aromatic and increase of paraffinic hydrocarbons also is connected by the formation of 1-3, 5-9, 11 -14 type hydrocarbons and reaction of double bonds.
A decrease in the amount of paraffin and aromatic hydrocarbons in the B20 mixture was observed, but a slight increase in the amounts of olefin hydrocarbons was observed. Changes in hydrocarbon content can be explained by a decrease in paraffin hydrocarbons and an increase in olefin hydrocarbons, as in the case of B5 fuel. Thus, the density and viscosity of these compounds are lower than those of the original substances.
According to the results obtained from the 1H NMR spectra, the photochemical changes observed in the B50 fuel mixture are in the direction of increasing the amounts of paraffin hydrocarbons and decreasing the amounts of olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons. As seen, the B50 fuel contains 50% of diesel and 50% methyl esters of fatty acids. The decrease of the aromatic and increase of paraffinic hydrocarbons also can be is connected by the formation of 1-3, 5-9, 11 -14 type hydrocarbons and saturation of double bonds. But a decrease in the amounts of olefins in the B50 fuel is likely connected to the dimerization and polymerization reactions, the formation of more heavy products than primary (Scheme 2-4). At the same time, the presence of dimerization polymerization reactions manifests itself in physical properties (increase density, viscosity, cetane number, flashpoint) (Tab. 2, 3).
As a result of the high absorption of methyl esters of fatty acids in fuel B100, the fuel lost its color after UV irradiation (Fig. 1). This visible change is reflected in the 1H NMR data. Thus, the amount of C18:2 before UV irradiation was 52%, C18:3 1%, and after UV irradiation

C18:2 43%, C18:3 0.1%. As can be seen, the process of photo-destruction of more unsaturated (C18:3) FAMEs occurs first. At the same time, the formation of ketone, aldehyde, and alcohol types compounds is influenced to the physical properties of B100 (decrease density, viscosity, cetane number, flashpoint) (Tab. 2, 3).
CONCLUSIONS
This article is devoted to testing the chemical stability of diesel, diesel-biofuel (from the Alhagi oil) mixtures B5, B10, B20, and B50 against UV irradiation for 24 h. The results showed that photo-destruction processes occur under the influence of UV irradiation, which affects the physico-chemical and exploitation properties of the fuel. As seen from the obtained data, photo-oxidation by UV is negatively influenced the stability of fuels. Including indicated taken place
gum formation processes. It can lead to a malfunction of the fuel engine. However, one of the most important contributions of this work was to obtain a more physicochemical stable fuel mixture under the conditions studied. Obtained data, shows that B20 more stable fuel blend, than diesel (B0), B5, B10, B50, and B100. We think the most effective ratio of diesel to biodiesel can be a mixture of B20, which is the least susceptible to structural changes under the action of UV irradiation. B20 causes only a 4% change in its chemical composition after UV irradiation, and in the quality parameters of the fuel, it retains its properties more than other fuels (Tab. 1). The reported work may be interesting when studying the application of diesel, biodiesel, or their mixtures in different storage, and transportation conditions, and also it has environmental importance.
