Chapter 5 Alkylate Gasoline

Abstract

This book serves as the most comprehensive and advanced resource available on catalytic processes to produce automotive gasoline. It discusses enhancers and emerging technologies such as the obtention of gasoline from biomass, gasoline from carbon dioxide, and synthetic gasoline: MTG and Fischer–Tropsch. It concludes with a general outlook on the future of gasoline production and discussion of electric vehicles. A valuable reference for researchers and advanced students, this text also provides a strong basis for professional engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs in the oil, gas, and energy industry. In general, this book: Explains all aspects of gasoline production, including principles and recent developments Discusses the use of GHGs such as CO<SUB>2</SUB> to produce gasoline/fuels Discusses on the different additives to enhance the gasoline performance and stability Covers oil- and non-oil-based catalytic processes Contrasts the new electromobility technologies and contemplates the future of gasoline use trends
