Abstract:
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis is a powerful instrumental analysis technique that has been used in many laboratories to perform both qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses. In the academic and industrial literature, several sources site the use of this technique in combination with chemometric methods for the quantitative determination of the Calculated Cetane Index (CCI) value in diesel fuels. It has been found experimentally that this type of analysis is dependent on the diesel feedstock, the primary test method and the matrix chemistries. In this presentation the FTIR method of analysis and chemometric model for the determination of CCI in marine diesel is discussed.
