Performance of the Castor Oil in Methanol-Gasoline as a Bi-Functional Additive

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the castor oil, as additives, has been investigated on the phase separation temperature of M15, M30, M50 and M65 methanol gasoline at-25.0°C to 40.0°C, respectively. The effect of the additives on the phase stability and saturation vapour pressure was discussed. It was found that castor oil derivatives have good phase stability to various ratio methanol gasoline blends. Introducing water in the methanol gasoline blends need much amount of methyl castor oil to realize phase mixable. Besides, the castor oil can depress the saturation vapour pressure of methanol gasoline effective as well. With these data, it can be concluded that the castor oil have the great potential to be used gasoline-methanol additives.
