Kerosine properties

Urea possesses a unique property of forming adducts with n-paraffms. This is used in separating C12-C14 n-paraffms from kerosines for detergent production (Chapter 6). 

Both the kerosine and the gasoil have excellent blending properties the smoke point of the kerosine can be over 45 mm and the gasoil has a cetane number in excess of 70. 

The low-density products manufactured in the SMDS process are predominantly paraffinic and free from impurities such as nitrogen and sulphur. Both the kerosine and gas oil have excellent combustion properties (smoke point and cetane number), and their cold-flow characteristics meet all relevant specifications - even the stringent freezing point requirements of aviation turbine kerosine. They also make excellent blending components for upgrading low-quality stock that would otherwise have to be used in fuel oil. The excellent quality of the products was proved in extensive engine tests. 

The electrical properties of a series of eight different tank coating systems in contact with respectively seawater, crude oil and kerosine were determined [2], as a part of a tank coatings research program. The results measured for one of these coatings, an epoxy coal-tar system cured with an amine adduct (26 %wt. binder, 35 %wt. coal-tar and 39 %wt. talc/ barytes pigments) are reported in this chapter. 

Unocal Hydrocarbon Sales Retardsol is a water-white kerosine that meets ASTM 2-K specifications. Kerosine consists primarily of C10-C16 aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and is widely used as heating oil and diesel fuel. Because of its high solvency and high flash point Unocal Hydrocarbon Sales Retardsol finds many commercial applications in general cleaning solvents and in agricultural sprays. Specifications and typical properties are listed below.

This test method provides an indication of the relative smoke produdng properties of kerosines and aviation turbine fuels in a diffusion flame. The smoke point is related to the hydrocarbon type composition of such fuels. Generally the more aromatic the fuel the smokier the flame. A high smoke point indicates a fuel of low smoke produdng tendency.
