(CH3)3COC2H: An oxygenate blend stock formed by the catalytic etherification of isobutylene with ethanol.
Ethyl-t-butyl ether, an oxygen-containing fuel component used in reformulated gasoline. Commonly made from ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and isobutene.
Ethyl Tertiary Butly Ether. An aliphatic ether similar to MTBE. This fuel oxygenate is manufactured by reacting isobutylene with ethanol having high octane and low volatility characteristics ETBE can be added to gasoline up to a level of approximately 17 percent by volume. ETBE is used as an oxygenate in some reformulated gasolines.
Ethyl tertiary butyl ether—a fuel derived from ethanol that offers advantages in terms of lower volatility and blending.
Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether. A chemical compound produced in a reaction between ethanol and isobutylene (a petroleum-derived by-product of the refining process). ETBE has characteristics superior to other ethers: low volatility, low water solubility, high octane value, and a large reduction in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions.
(ethyl tert-butyl ether) A bioethanol-based gasoline component designed to enhance combustion and reduce exhaust emissions.
Ethyl tertiary butyl ether. A colorless, flammable, oxygenated hydrocarbon blend stock.
Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether. An aliphatic ether similar to MTBE. This fuel oxygenate is manufactured by reacting isobutylene with ethanol. Having high octane and low volatility characteristics, ETBE can be added to gasoline up to a level of approximately 17% by volume. ETBE is not yet commercially available.
Ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE) is commonly used as a blend stock in the production of gasoline from crude oil. It is created by mixing ethanol and isobutene and reacting them with heat over a catalyst. ETBE offers equal or greater air quality benefits as ethanol, while being technically and logistically less challenging.
