Abstract

See full text

Techniques for boosting octane of gasoline can include using glycerol and isobutene in a reaction vessel under conditions to generate a blend of Glycerol Tert-Butyl Ethers (GTBE) comprising mono-GTBEs, di-GTBEs and tri-GTBE; regulating the conditions to favor production of mono-GTBEs according to equilibrium reactions, thereby producing a mono-shifted GTBE blend; and using the mono-shifted GTBE blend with gasoline as an octane booster. If a GTBE blend with further increased octane boosting capacity is desired, a purification/separation step can be included in the process to increase the mono-GTBE content of the mono-shifted GTBE blend. For blends with target density or viscosity, the production can be regulated to obtain a GTBE blend with an increase or decrease in density and/or viscosity. Compositions, processes, methods and installations are described for providing enhancements in the production and use of GTBE and its components.
