Abstract:
Fuel oxygenates are fuel additives that can be used to enhance octane numbers and reduce carbon monoxide emission in gasoline. Oxygenates can also be present in oilfield waste water that is desirable for reuse. Methods for identifying and quantifying different oxygenates in gasoline and produced water oilfield waste have been developed by GC-VUV and GC-Polyarc/FID with column SLB-ILD3606 which is specifically designed for the determination of benzene, other aromatics, and oxygenates. The results showed that the auxiliary quantitative and qualitative analysis by GC/VUV and GC-Polyarc/FID provides reliable and effective means for analyzing oxygenates in a variety of samples.
