| Abstract: |
| Urban air pollution is always presented as one of the bio-environmental problems in developing countries, which causes an increase in respiratory, cardiovascular, and carcinogenic diseases, and as a result, an increase in the number of deaths caused by it, and so on. It imposes a lot of economic costs on the society. The high level of air pollutants, especially standard pollutants such as: soot, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and unburned hydrocarbons in some megacities has faced serious problems in terms of environmental standards. Therefore, one of the ways to reduce the pollution caused by combustion in internal combustion engines is the use of renewable alternative fuels or the addition of additives to the base fuel in order to improve the combustion properties of gasoline and diesel engines, which causes the reduction of engine exhaust pollutants be. Bioethanol and biodiesel are the most prominent vegetable fuels, which have been used for years and have been noticed by researchers, which reduce the emission of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, but the amount of carbon dioxide increases. The results of the research review showed that with the addition of biofuel, the amount of CO and Hc pollutants decreased, but instead, the amount of CO2 pollutant increased. On the other hand, the amount of Nox emissions depends on factors such as the type and percentage of the loads entering the engine. |
