Abstract

The gasoline brands can be determined by gas chromatography. However, determining from the differences in chromatograms is sometimes ambiguous because the gasoline composition is becoming similar from refinery to refinery due to stringent regulations for the protection of the atmospheric environment. To determine the gasoline brands of five refineries in Korea, we have obtained and compared IR spectra of polymeric dispersants which are added to gasoline at several hundreds of ppm levels. Since the deposit control additives used by the five refineries in Korea are different from one another, it is possible to determine the gasoline brands by comparing their IR spectra. A strong and broad C-O stretch absorption peak appears at <TEX>$1,096cm^{-1}$</TEX> for the additives used by A, B, and C refineries, which renders an easy differentiation of the additives from those of D and E refineries. The differentiation of all five gasoline brands are possible due to the characteristic vibrations present in each additive.
