Abstract

It has been conducted the research about the effects of butanol addition on thel characteristics of gasohol. The aims of this study are to determine the stability of ethanol and n-butanol in gasoline, to know the characteristics of gasohol and after the addition of butanol and compare the characteristics of gasohol and after the addition of butanol. Mixture of of butanol on gasohol were characterized by using ASTM method. The parameters measured are water content (ASTM D-1995), Research Octane Number (RON) (ASTM D-2699), Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) (ASTM D-323) and Copper Strip Corrosion test (ASTM D-130). The result of this research shows that n-butanol 99,9% and ethanol 99,9% are miscible in gasoline. The characterization result shows that the addition of butanol will decrease water content, reid vapor pressure, research octane number (RON), G-80%/E- 10%/B-10% mixture is the best characteristic of gasohol with ron 93. The result of all the parameters and characterization meets the ASTM standard of gasoline.
