Abstract
A method for the analysis of peroxide in hydrocarbon fuels such as jet fuels, diesel fuel, kerosene and gasoline is disclosed which can be performed both at remote locations as well as in a laboratory setting. A sample of the fuel to be tested is mixed with a solution containing a water-soluble salt and aqueous iodide solution to reduce the peroxide and produce free iodine. The sample is then subjected to a single sweep voltammetric analysis to measure the current through the sample as a function of the potential applied. The resulting peak of current on a current-potential plot can then be used to determine the amount of peroxide in solution.
