Peroxide formation in jet fuels

Abstract: The rates of peroxide formation in six model jet fuels were measured at various temperatures ranging from 43 to 120 °C with oxygen partial pressures ranging from approximately 10 to 1140 kPa. One of the fuels exhibited an increase in the rate of peroxide formation after alumina treatment, and three of the fuels showed induction periods. The results agreed with a kinetic model of the autoxidation process in that the peroxide concentration increased as the square of the stress duration. The rate of peroxide form… Show more

“…In order to meet the requirements for Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuels with 15 ppm S or less, the sulfur is removed by hydrotreating and other processes. Since some naturally occurring sulfur compounds will decompose hydroperoxides, there are concerns that as ULSD is introduced into the fleet, that these fuels may undergo greater rates of peroxide and/or soluble gum formation during long-term storage, similar to the process that occurs in aviation fuels [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. In addition, hydrotreatment can also remove other naturally occurring fuel constituents that can also function as antioxidants.…”

“…Since the early 1960's a significant amount of research effort has gone into developing test methods for predicting and measuring hydroperoxide concentrations and their effects on jet fuel stability [1][2][3][4][5]. The Navy designed a Low Pressure Reactor (LPR) test method to evaluate storage characteristics of jet fuels.…”

“…10,11 For this reason, this paper highlights only the results of the validation studies, i.e., the similarity in the mechanism at 43 °C with that at higher temperatures and overpressures of air/oxygen ( Table 6). The criterion for validation, and the ensuing results are given below.…”

“…Hydroprocessing will remove naturally occurring antioxidants including oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen heteroatoms [4]. Unstabilised fuels will tend to react with oxygen to form hydroperoxides which will affect aircraft fuel system seals, diaphragms and materials made of neoprene, nitrile rubber and Buna-N [5][6][7][8][9]. Rates of formation and decomposition of peroxides are driven by storage temperatures, duration and the availability of oxygen [10,11].…”
