The accurate determination of the aromatic content of fuels is critical to assessing their quality and combustion characteristics. These parameters are crucial to ensuring aviation safety and compliance with environmental regulations.
This application news demonstrates the use of the Shimadzu HPLC for the determination of mono-, di-, and tri-plus aromatic hydrocarbon content in diesel fuels and middle distillates with boiling points in the range of 150°to 400°C in accordance with ASTM D6591.
