Analytical Techniques for Aromatic Components in Aircraft Fuels

Abstract

An ultraviolet detector was shown to be highly satisfactory for the selective determination of aromatic components in jet fuels. The detector was operated at 208 nm and used with a fused silica capillary column gas chromatographic system. The detector gave a linear response in the range of interest and could detect individual benzenes and naphthalenes in jet fuels at levels down to 0.01% and 0.002% respectively. Nitrogen-containing compounds were determined by the use of an alkali flame detector, high pressure liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry.
