METHOD FOR DETECTION OF KEROSENE ADULTERATION WITH EXTRINSIC MARKER IN GASOLINE, AVIATION TURBINE FUEL AND DIESEL

摘要

The present invention provides an accurate and cost effective method to detect adulteration of gasoline, aviation turbine fuel and diesel with an adulterant, by detecting an extrinsic marker and determining the concentration of the marker in adulterated gasoline and diesel fuels employing gas chromatography with or without mass spectroscopy. The disclosed invention primarily involves the extrinsic marker having organo sulfur molecule, or molecules bearing C-S bond, S-S bond, or both.
