What is the effect of benzene content in catalytic gasoline on the gasoline itself?
An increase in benzene content raises the octane rating of gasoline, but the amount of this compound in the distillates used to formulate gasoline at the factory needs to be controlled; under National Standard V, the benzene content is restricted to no more than 1%
A high benzene content in catalytic gasoline indicates a high octane number of the feed gasoline.
Benzene belongs to aromatic hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons have a very high octane rating, even exceeding 100, which directly affects the octane rating of gasoline. However, there are specified limits for the benzene content in gasoline; for National Standard VI, it must be no more than 0.8
Benzene has a high octane rating and has no adverse effect on gasoline, but it is a strong carcinogen that must be strictly controlled!
