- Abstract
The partial substitution of gasolines with different loadings of alcohols and/or ethers represented recently the target of many discussions within scientific research area being as an alternative for both the reducing of fuel consumption from nonrenewable sources and a path to reduce the pollutant emissions of vehicles. This paper consists of two parts. The first part presents the European legislation regarding the gasoline reformulation, a theoretical study concerning the physical and chemical properties of following alcohols: methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), isopropanol (IPA), tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) and ethers as: methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), tert-amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) and the properties of reformulated gasolines and the standardized analysis methods. Based on the experimental study, in the second part is illustrated the loading effect of 2, 4, 6, 7, 10% volume of gasoline with oxygenates type alcohols on the motor and research octane numbers, the density at 20°C, the distillation curves and Reid vapor pressure of these reformulated gasolines.
