Gasoline composition determined by 1 H NMR spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fast and simple H NMR spectroscopic method was developed for the concentration measurement of aromatic, olefinic and aliphatic fractions in gasoline samples. Simultaneously, individual components such as benzene, methyl tert-butyl ether and several dienes could be determined. The method relies on only a few, well-established assumptions about the molecular compositions and is therefore applicable to a broad range of gasolines. It is well suited for laboratories with high sample throughput since measurement time is short and all concentrations are determined within one NMR experiment. The method was applied to commercial gasolines and samples used in European round robin tests. Comparisons of NMR and round robin test results showed excellent agreement. q 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Laser-supported high-temperature MAS NMR for time-resolved in situ studies of reaction steps in heterogeneous catalysis.
The temperature of zeolite samples containing various adsorbed molecules was rapidly changed (within 15 s) from room temperature to 600 K by means of a laser beam. The location of the sealed glass ampoule in a boron nitride container decreases the temperature gradient in the sample and avoids laser-induced reactions. The technique facilitates time-dependent magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectr...
متن کاملAnalysis of Ethanol in Gasoline by Gas Chromatography and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
The addition of ethanol into gasoline has long been a method to help the hydrocarbons of gasoline burn smoother in an internal combustion engine by adding oxygen into the fuel. Gas stations list ethanol content in gasoline can be up to 10% ethanol but no more than 10% ethanol. By using the methods of standard addition, using known concentrations and volumes of spikes of ethanol into the gasolin...

The ion-pair association constant values, related to the reaction + were determined by means of the NMR spectroscopy. The values of the thermodynamic functions of the ion pairing process were calculated on the basis of the NMR results. In addition, the association entropy was found to be dependent on the temperature. Comparing the experimental data and the Fuoss theory it is found that ion-pa...
متن کاملAutomatic ¹H-NMR Screening of Fatty Acid Composition in Edible Oils.
In this work, we introduce an NMR-based screening method for the fatty acid composition analysis of edible oils. We describe the evaluation and optimization needed for the automated analysis of vegetable oils by low-field NMR to obtain the fatty acid composition (FAC). To achieve this, two scripts, which automatically analyze and interpret the spectral data, were developed. The objective of thi...
