COMPOUND WITH ORGANIC GERMANIUM POLYMERIZED WITH DIHYDRIC ALCOHOL, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, MODIFIER FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE FUEL AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE FUEL USING THE COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a modifier for an internal combustion engine fuel which needs to use no water and/or no surfactant so that it can be mixed with the internal combustion engine fuel to bring about no separation, can give an exhaust gas with reduced nitrogen monoxide and carbon dioxide, can improve a fuel efficiency, and is little toxic; and a method for modifying the fuel.;SOLUTION: The method for producing the modifier for an internal combustion engine fuel comprises the esterification of an organic germanium with a dihydric alcohol such as ethylene glycol to form a compound, which is then mixed with a monohydric alcohol having a carbon number of 1-3, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, and isopropyl alcohol. The modifier is added in an internal combustion engine fuel to reduce nitrogen monoxide and carbon dioxide in an exhaust gas and to improve the fuel efficiency.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
