  • Photochemical process to eliminate lead in gasoline with a high octane number
    Patent number: 4643810
    Abstract: A process to eliminate lead in gasoline, at the same time maintaining a high octane number in the gasoline, by irradiating leaded gasoline, at room temperature and pressure, with U. V. rays, which generate free organo-metallic radicals which facilitate a photochemical reaction with the gasoline, eliminating "moloxides" responsible for the reduction in the gasoline's octane number. In this manner an up-graded gasoline is obtained, which is completely lead-free, and prevents atmospheric pollution.
