Oxygenated Gasoline |
|
Oygenated Gasoline is a mixture of gasoline and one or more combustible liquids which contain oxygen. At present, two different classes of oxygenates are being added to gasoline: alcohols and ethers. Ethanol (grain alcohol) is alcohol most commonly added to gasoline. Methanol (wood alcohol) is also utilized, but to a much lesser extent, as it's solubility in gasoline is limited. At present, methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is the principal ether being added to gasoline. |
