Aviation fuels having improved freeze point

摘要

A novel aviation fuel characterized by having a low freeze point (typically no higher than -40 C.) comprising a mixture of an aviation fuel and a compound selected from at least one member of the group consisting of (1) the reaction product of an alkanol amine with a hydrocarbyl-substituted acylating agent wherein the hydrocarbyl group comprises a substantially linear alkyl or alkenyl group containing an average of about 8 to about 50 carbon atoms; or (2) the reaction product of (a) substantially linear hydrocarbyl-substituted phenol wherein the hydrocarbyl substituent contains an average of about 8 to about 40 carbon atoms with an aldehyde or a source thereof having between 1 to 10 carbon atoms; or (3) aromatic moieties containing from about 1 to 3 aromatic rings wherein the aromatic moieties contains up to three substituents hydrocarbyl substantially linear constituents having from about 1 to 50 carbon atoms and the aromatic moieties are coupled by alkylene groups having 1 to 100 carbon atoms; or (4) an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having a number average molecular weight of between about 2,500 to 10,000 with a mole percent ethylene to vinyl acetate ratio of between about 65:35 to 85:15
