Specialty Definition: ETHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER

DomainDefinition

Energy

A chemical compound produced in a reaction between ethanol and isobutylene (a petroleum-derived by-product of the refining process). ETBE has characteristics superior to other ethers: low volatility, low water solubility, high octane value, and a large reduction in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions. (ETBE). (references)
 An aliphatic ether similar to MTBE. This fuel oxygenate is manufactured byreacting isobutylene with ethanol. Having high octane and low volatilitycharacteristics, ETBE can be added to gasoline up to a level of approximately 17percent by volume. ETBE is used as an oxygenate in some reformulatedgasolines.
