Compatibility of di- and tri-tert-butyl glycerol ethers with gasoline

Untitled

“…The addition of mono-and di-GTBE resulted in displacement to a lower distillation curve temperature. Bozkurt et al [77] also reported the effects of GTBE on the properties of gasoline. The addition of 3.45 vol% GTBE reduced the viscosity of the fuel from 57 to 55 kPa•s and improved the octane number from 95 to 96.…”

Different scenarios of glycerin conversion to combustible products and their effects on compression ignition engine as fuel additive: a review

“…Different researches on etherification of glycerol are reviewed (Table 6) (Ancillotti & Fattore, 1998;Behr & Obendorf, 2002;Bookong et al, 2015;Bozkurt, Baglar, et al, 2019;Bozkurt, Yılmaz, et al 2019;Cannilla et al, 2015;Decolatti et al, 2014;dos Santos et al, 2019;Estevez Figure 14. Provision of glycerol ethers from the reaction between glycerol and isobutene with different molar ratios.…”

Glycerol acetyls and glycerol ethers are known as fuel additives (Bozkurt, Yılmaz, et al 2019;Ishak et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2007). One promising way to transform glycerol into high-value chemicals is to yield acetone by acetylation of glycerol.…”

Thermodynamic equilibrium analysis on the dehydration of glycerol with monohydric alcohols to alkyl glyceryl ethers

“…Most of the researchers concentrated on the corresponding catalysts, reaction processes, and reactors, while few researchers focus on comprehensive comparisons of the reaction routes of various alcohols. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The boiling point of glycerol is 564 K, while those of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and tert-butanol are 337.9, 351.2, 355.6, and 357.8 K, respectively. If the reaction temperature is set to be greater than 564 K, the self-polymerization process of glycerol is likely to occur.…”

“…Taking into account the differences in the structure and physicochemical properties of raw materials and products, there are some differences in the synthesis processes of alkyl glycerol ethers. Most of the researchers concentrated on the corresponding catalysts, reaction processes, and reactors, while few researchers focus on comprehensive comparisons of the reaction routes of various alcohols 11–20 …”
