AM-91-46 OXYGENATES IN GASOLINE --THE'90 DECADE

Description:

The passage of the revised Clean Air Act on November 15, 1990 established a prmanent role for oxygenates in U.S. gasoline for the foreseeable future. Status for oxygenates in gasoline was confumed approximately a month later by analytical ~sults from the f?rst phase of the Auto/Oil Air Quality Improvement Research Program. In view of these events the potential of the currently acceptable fuel/oxygenates has been reevaluated. Further, the acute demand for oxygen in gasoline in the 1992- 1995 period may reawaken studies of more obscure oxygen compounds and cosolvents for methanol.
