  • Title: Effects of dimethyl or diethyl carbonate as an additive on volatility and flash point of an aviation fuel.
    Author: Li D, Fang W, Xing Y, Guo Y, Lin R.
    Journal: J Hazard Mater; 2009 Jan 30; 161(2-3):1193-201. PubMed ID: 18513858.
    Abstract:
    Vapor pressures and flash points for several mixtures of an aviation fuel with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) or diethyl carbonate (DEC) have been measured, respectively, over the entire composition range. Correlation between the experimental vapor pressures and the equilibrium temperatures by the Antoine equation is performed for each mixture. The bubble-point lines of pressure versus composition at different temperatures and those of temperature versus composition at different pressures are then obtained from the Antoine correlations. It is found that DMC and DEC are the oxygenated hydrocarbon additives that can adjust effectively the volatility and flash point of the aviation fuel. The correlation of the flash points with the vapor pressure data for the pseudo-binary mixtures of the fuel and DMC or DEC gives satisfactory results.
