Abstract:

Methanol, ethanol, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and other oxygenates can be added to gasoline to increase octane number and to reduce emission. Concentration of these oxygenates are specified and regulated to ensure acceptable commercial gasoline quality. Thus,the determination of these oxygenates in gasoline are of interest. The amounts of methanol, ethanol and MTBE have been determined by a gas chromatography.
