Glycerin Derivative Shows Promise as Gasoline Blendstock

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Brazil have found that solketal, a derivative of glycerin when reacted with acetone, has a potential for blending with regular gasoline, and may indicate an alternative use for the glycerin by-product from biodiesel production. These compounds were blended in 1, 3, and 5 vol % with gasoline containing 0 and 25 vol % ethanol.
