MTBE phaseout: a boon for ethanol producers
Article Abstract:
Article about the phaseout of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in gasoline and how ethanol is emerging as a potential replacement in reformulated gasoline (RFG). This raises issues about ethanol manufacturers' readiness to meet the anticipated demand.

Relating liquid fuel and headspace vapor composition for California reformulated gasoline samples containing ethanol
Article Abstract:
Ethanol is slowly replacing methyl tert-butyl ether as a fuel additive, and thus the composition of headspace vapor is changing. This report studies samples from the San Francisco Bay area.

Substrate interactions in BTEX and MTBE mixtures by an MTBE-degrading isolate
Article Abstract:
A pure microcosim study is conducted to determine the interaction between BTEX compounds and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). The common gasoline component MTBE is often combined with BTEX compounds in groundwater. Rates of degradation for the chemicals are plotted for up to 60 hours, in varying combinations.
