ALIPHATIC ALCOHOLS AS COMPONENTS OF FUELS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

Base gasoline consisting of equal parts of naphtha from primary distillation and catalytic reforming or cracking with the addition of a high-octane component is used for production of standard gasoline. The oxygenates added to automotive gasoline increase their antiknock value, since hydrocarbons are more completely burned when the concentration of oxygen in the fuel is high. The necessary standards and technical and manufacturing base that would allow manufacturing commercial gasoline, satisfying European requirements, has been created in Russia. Stabilizers prevent separation of gasolines at temperatures from -40° to-23°. The minimum emissions of aldehydes correspond to the stochiometric composition of the fuel mixture and increase when it is leaned and enriched.
