Determination of Ethanol in Blend Petrol by Gas Chromatography and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

Abstract

Abstract Simple and precise methods have been developed for the determination of ethanol in blend petrol using gas chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. The methods can determine a minimum quantity of 1% of alcohol in petrol. The precision of the methods is ±2%. The developed methods are useful in the quality assurance of ethanol blend petrol.
