What are the products of gasoline combustion?
1 Answers
Gasoline combustion primarily produces water and carbon dioxide, along with CO, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and other byproducts. Below are the key characteristics of gasoline: 1. Stability: Refers to the stability of gasoline when stored under natural conditions for extended periods, characterized by gum content, induction period, and iodine value. Lower gum content is better, and a longer induction period is preferable. National standards stipulate that the actual gum content must not exceed 5 milligrams per 100 milliliters of gasoline. Iodine value indicates the content of olefins. 2. Corrosiveness: Corrosiveness refers to the tendency of gasoline to corrode equipment such as storage tanks, pipelines, valves, carburetors, and cylinders during storage, transportation, and use. It is characterized by total sulfur, mercaptans, copper strip test, and acid value.
