ALTERNATIVE OXYGENATED FUELS

The monograph physico-chemical characteristics of automobile gasoline AI-80 with the addition of oxygen-containing components in particular ethanol. It is noted that methanol cannot be as an additive due to its toxicity.The gasoline-ethanol blended fuels have been investigated in detail. Advantages of using ethanol it is noted that ethanol is even less toxic than gasoline itself. It has a higher auto-ignition temperature (423oC against 257-300oC).Besides octane numbers of ethanol are higher than those of gasoline. A new method of obtaining alcohol from plants is used which consists in introducing a gene into the cell that ensures the use of a large number of benzene converting cellulose into alcohol.Also important is the section of the monograph where the furnace household fuel with the addition of a high-molecular fraction of sivushnogo oil which is known to be a waste product of alcohol production is developed.The monograph is intended for a wide range of specialists - oil workers considering the future alternative fuels as well as students of petrochemical direction.
