Analysis of JP-5 and F-24 Jet Fuel Vapor Composition by Single and Multidimensional Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry
Abstract
Two jet fuels, a JP-5 and F-24, were analyzed via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), comprehensive multidimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC-MS), and Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) followed by GC-MS analysis. The first two techniques probed the liquid sample while the SPME collected and analyzed the vapor phase above the fuel samples. The combined analysis of the liquid samples via GC-MS and GCxGC-MS show a range of material from C6 to C12 consisting primarily of alkanes, iso alkanes, monocyclic, and single ring aromatics. The material distribution in the total ion chromatograms of both fuels is consistent with the differences in flash point specification for each fuel type. The SPME results add to the analysis by showing the presence of higher boiling material that will likely need to be considered in future foam testing. These results indicate that for the purposes of this program, SPME extracted fuel vapor analysis provides a more accurate representation of the vapor composition.
