Use of Infra-Red Absorption Data for Showing Presence of Unsaturates and Aromatic Components in Aviation Gasoline
Abstract
It has been found that by examination of the near infra-red absorption spectrum of a gasoline information can be obtained regarding the atomic groups present. In particular, the presence of unsaturates and aromatics can be ascertained, although the sensitivity of the test in detecting very small concentrations of di-iso-butylene in iso-octane is not great. This limitation of the method is offset by the fact that it is capable of determining the presence of additions such as aromatic which would defeat the purpose of present chemical tests. The method is proposed as a supplement to chemical investigations of the molecular structure and stability of gasoline.
