Radiolysis of Motor Fuels

Аннотация

Samples of AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline from Azerbaijani oils have been used as test materials. Laboratory studies have been carried out on a ⁶⁰Co γ-radiation source at a dose rate of P = 0.18 Gy/s at room temperature and various absorbed doses D = 15–150 kGy. The effect of ionizing radiation on the structural-group composition of gasoline under static conditions has been examined using a standard procedure before and after irradiation. The results of these studies make it possible to evaluate the radiation resistance of fuels and to determine the effect of irradiation on the overall composition of fuels and possible changes in the quality of fuels.
