Benefits of technology
An apparatus for producing high octane alcohols is also provided, including a starting tank for retaining a mixture of substantially ethanol and butane or natural gasoline, a heat exchanger for raising the temperature of the mixture, a first high pressure conduit extending from the starting tank to the heat exchanger, a catalyzing chamber, second and third high pressure conduits
Problems solved by technology
A problem with these prior processes has been that they either fail to produce high octane gasoline, or they fail to do so efficiently.

A process of producing high octane alcohols includes the steps of preparing a first mixture of substantially ethanol and butane or natural gasoline, the mixture having a certain temperature and a certain pressure, adjusting the certain pressure of the mixture to a magnitude within the range of 10 to 50 pounds per square inch, adjusting the temperature of the mixture to a magnitude within the range of 100 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, adjusting the pressure of the mixture to a pressure within the range of 500 to 1000 pounds per square inch, catalyzing the mixture with a platinum catalyst, lowering the temperature of the mixture to a magnitude within a range of 90 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit, and separating out liquid product and gas from the mixture. Then a second mixture of said liquid product and methanol is prepared and the process steps are repeated on this second mixture to produce a second product plus gas.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to the field of fuel forming processes. More specifically it relates to a process of producing high octane alcohols, or pump gasoline, including the steps of placing a pre-mixed mixture of ethanol and butane or natural gasoline in a starting tank, raising the pressure of gases above the surface of the mixture to fifty pounds per square inch, pumping the mixture from the bottom of the starting tank through a first high pressure conduit into a heat exchanger where the temperature of the mixture is raised to a magnitude within the range of 100 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, extracting the heated mixture from the heat exchanger with high pressure pumps which raise the mixture pressure to 500 to 1000 pounds per square inch, and feeding the heated and pressurized mixture through a second high pressure conduit through a nozzle and through a third high pressure conduit into an elongate catalyzing chamber containing a platinum catalys...
