WHAT DOES LEAD TETRAETHYL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

lead tetraethyl

Tetraethyllead

Tetraethyllead, abbreviated TEL, is an organolead compound with the formula 4Pb. It was mixed with gasoline beginning in the 1920s as a patented octane booster that allowed engine compression to be raised substantially, which in turn increased vehicle performance or fuel economy. Ethanol was already known as a widely available, inexpensive, low toxicity octane booster, but TEL was promoted because it was uniquely profitable to the patent holders. TEL was phased out starting in the U.S. in the mid-1970s because of its cumulative neurotoxicity and its damaging effect on catalytic converters. When present in fuel, TEL is also the main cause of spark plug fouling. TEL is still used as an additive in some grades of aviation gasoline, and in some developing countries. Innospec has claimed to be the last firm still making TEL, but as of 2013 it appears to also be illegally produced by multiple companies in China.
