INSOLUBLE RESIDUES, FORMING DURING THE HEATING OF JET FUELS
Abstract
The purpose of the work was to investigate the composition of insoluble residues, forming during the heating of jet fuels in contact with metals. The following fuels were studied: No. 1 TS-1 fuel, hydrogenated, with a total sulfur content of 0.011%; No. 2-TS-1 fuel, commercial, with total sulfur content of 0.16%, mercaptan content 0.007%; 3-TS-1 fuel, commercial, with total sulfur content of 0.065%, mercaptan content-0.003%. Copper alloys (bronze and brass) accelerate the autooxidation processes of fuels, promoting the formation of deposits on the metal, and increase the corrosion activity of the fuels. Duralumin D1T and especially steel 12KHN3A produce a much lesser effect on heated fuel, than bronze and brass. Metals not only catalytically accelerate residue formation, but they themselves actively participate in these processes. Removal of ashes and other elements from the fuel composition would lead to a slowing down of residue formation processes in fuels. (Extracted)
