Oxygenated Fuel Additives to Gasoline

Abstract

In order to reduce harmful exhaust emissions emitted from the internal combustion engines, increase the knock resistance of the fuel and usage of renewable fuel, many different oxygenated additives are added to base gasoline. In this present study, fuel additives used in the past and oxygenated additives are used nowadays have been evaluated. Moreover, oxygenates that likely used in the future, their production processes and some important physical-chemical fuel properties have been assessed.
