MTBE

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is mainly used as a gasoline additive and has excellent anti-knock properties. It has good miscibility with gasoline, absorbs less water, and is environmentally friendly. MTBE can improve the cold start characteristics and acceleration performance of gasoline and has no adverse effect on air resistance. Although methyl tert-butyl ether has a low calorific value, driving tests have shown that the use of gasoline containing 10% MTBE can reduce fuel consumption by 7%, and significantly reduce the lead content and CO content in exhaust gas, especially the emission of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. As a raw material for organic synthesis, it can produce high-purity isobutylene. It can also be used to produce 2-methylacrolein, methacrylic acid and isoprene. In addition, it can also be used as an analytical solvent and extractant.
