Development of tartaric esters as bifunctional additives of methanol-gasoline
BACKGROUND Methanol has become an alternative fuel for gasoline, which is facing a rapidly rising world demand with a limited oil supply. Methanol-gasoline has been used in China, but phase stability and vapor lock still need to be resolved in methanol-gasoline applications. In this paper, a series of tartaric esters were synthesized and used as phase stabilizers and saturation vapor pressure d...
متن کاملAcute toxicity of gasoline and some additives.
The acute toxicity of gasoline; its components benzene, toluene, and xylene; and the additives ethanol, methanol, and methyl tertiary butyl ether are reviewed. All of these chemicals are only moderately to mildly toxic at acute doses. Because of their volatility, these compounds are not extensively absorbed dermally unless the exposed skin is occluded. Absorption through the lungs and the gastr...
متن کاملThe EPA National Fuels Surveillance Network. I. Trace constituents in gasoline and commercial gasoline fuel additives.
A National Fuels Surveillance Network has been established to collect gasoline and other fuels through the 10 regional offices of the Environmental Protection Agency. Physical, chemical, and trace element analytical determinations are made on the collected fuel samples to detect components which may present an air pollution hazard or poison exhaust catalytic control devices. A summary of trace ...
متن کاملBeyond MTBE: Applying the Precautionary Principle to Gasoline Additives
Printed 1/2/2001 2 Based on an evaluation of the physicochemical and toxicological properties of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE), as well as an ex post-facto cost and benefit analysis, it has become clear that there are less expensive and disruptive approaches to achieving the goals of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments with regards to gasoline-powered mobile sources. However, before jumping to t...
متن کاملToo easily lead? Health effects of gasoline additives.
Octane-enhancing constituents of gasoline pose a number of health hazards. This paper considers the relative risks of metallic (lead, manganese), aromatic (e.g., benzene), and oxygenated additives in both industrialized and developing countries. Technological advances, particularly in industrialized countries, have allowed the progressive removal of lead from gasoline and the increased control ...
