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

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...
