Chromatographic Characterization of Gasolines

In the following review, I have attempted to summarize the current status, important new developments, and evolving trends in the chromatographic analysis of gasoline. This chapter focuses solely on the characterization of gasoline and gasoline boiling-range materials, rather than the broader aspects of petroleum analyses. Obviously, in a field of this breadth and wide activity, it has not been possible to cite all relevant published work. Rather, I have chosen selected examples that appeared to be representative of various chromatographic approaches for the characterization of gasoline. Although a number of older and historical references are cited and discussed, whenever possible I have attempted to review…
