A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Antiknock
Agents
market. The study,
titled “Antiknock
Agents Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends
and Forecast 2014 - 2020”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Antiknock
agent is a gasoline additive that works to reduce the engine knocking
tendency while trying to accelerate the octane rating of the fuel.
Mixture of gas and air in a conventional car engine has a problem
with igniting too early and when this happens, it creates a knocking
noise.Commonly used antiknock agents are tetraethyl lead, ferrocene,
toluene, iron pentacarbonyl, isooctane and methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl. Lead compounds have been used as an antiknock
agent for many years. The most commonly used is tetraethyl lead, a
transparent and highly toxic dense liquid. It easily dissolves in
ethyl, acetone, gasoline and in some other solvents. It boils at
around 250°Ð¡. Another commonly used lead antiknock agent is the
tetramethyl lead.

It
is a liquid with pungent smell and boils at around 120°Ð¡. Due to
the relatively low boiling temperature, this substance spreads more
evenly in gasoline fractions. Tetramethyl lead is more stable than
tetraethyl lead at around 700°Ð¡. This ensures higher and better
efficiency of the tetramethyl lead as compared to tetraethyl lead in
high pressure ratio internal combustion engine vehicles.
Commonly
found drawback of both the compounds is the high toxicity of the
agents, with high impact on the environment and negative influence on
the exhaust gas after treatment devices. Hence, for these reasons the
use of tetramethyl lead and tetraethyl lead is decreasing and
intensive research is carried out for more efficient antiknock agents
is in the pipeline.
Some
of the antiknock agents which have already been tested and used at
various times are cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (CMT),
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) and
dicyclopentadienyl iron. In terms of higher and better efficiency,
manganese compounds are analogous and iron compounds are inferior to
lead. CMT is a highly volatile crystalline compound of yellow color.
It is stable in air and is easily soluble in organic solvents and is
completely insoluble in water. MMT is a low viscosity liquid of light
amber color with a grassy smell and has a boiling point of 250°Ð¡.
Ferrocene is a solid crystalline substance and has a melting
temperature of 180°Ð¡. Iron pentacarbonyl is a straw color liquid
with boiling temperature of 105°Ð¡ and freezing temperature of
-2°Ð¡.
Ferrocenyl
dimethyl carbinol is a crystal powder with melting temperature of
70°Ð¡. Organometallic agents create sedimentation of metals on the
walls of combustion chamber. Therefore, organometallic anti-knock
additives are typically used in combination with materials which
convert churly metal oxides into volatile compounds. Due to high
toxicity of lead type anti-knock agents, significant disadvantages
and high cost associated with it, the research for a special
material, which does not comprise any toxic substance, is in the
pipeline. Such anti-knock agents are organic amines containing,
xylidine methylaniline and extralyne.
