Is TAME used in China to increase the octane rating of gasoline? What are the main applications of TAME in China?
It is generally etherified gasoline, used to increase the octane rating of gasoline or to produce high-purity tert-butylene
Methyl tert-butyl ether is an ether that is heavier than MTBE; it has a similar octane rating to MTBE and can be used to blend with gasoline in order to increase its octane value. Currently, some refining companies possess equipment for the etherification of gasoline, using light components in gasoline along with methanol as raw materials to produce etherified gasoline, with the aim once again of raising the octane value of gasoline
