Cover Story: Direct alcoholysis of Eucalyptus nitens to n-butyl levulinate was optimized using univariate and multivariate approaches. The positive synergy between the n-butyl levulinate and the co-produced dibutyl ether toward Diesel motor performances was demonstrated. These oxygenated additives remarkably reduce CO and soot emissions of Diesel fuel. View this paper
