At present time humanity is faced with problem to produce environmentally safe high-quality automobile fuel. Ecological standarts that standardize content of toxic substances in exhaust gases limit the level of aromatic hydrocarbons in gasoline at 35 % vol., and the level of benzene - at 1 % vol. The article gives coverage to the method for removing benzene from reformed gasoline using water as azeotrope agent, and its performance under different conditions.
