Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether Market Size, Share, Demand and Trends by 2022-2032
Ethyl tertiary butyl ether is a biofuel commonly known as ETBE and is a clear colorless liquid or pale yellow liquid. Ethyl tertiary butyl ether is generally used as an oxygenate additive during the production gasoline from crude oil. Ethyl tertiary butyl ether is logistically and technically less challenging and provides greater air quality than ethanol. Commercially ethyl tertiary butyl ether is manufactured by acid etherification of isobutylene with ethanol, an ion-exchange resin is used as a catalyst. Fixed bed reactors or circulation reactors are suitable for the production of ethyl tertiary butyl ether. Ethyl tertiary butyl ether is used as an octane boosters to replace carcinogenic and toxic compounds such as lead. Ethyl tertiary butyl ether has characteristic properties such as high octane number, low vapor pressure and low boiling point which makes it a multipurpose gasoline blending component for the refiners by satisfying both the needs of incorporating bio...
