High temperature resistant jet fuels

The thermal stability of aviation fuels is evaluated according to the ASTM D 2341 method. This characteristic is linked to the presence of generators of instability, mainly diolephins and N and S derivates. The objectives of the present work are as follows: to obtain, in the laboratory, kerosene which is thermally stable; the isolation and identification of generators of instability; and the regeneration of thermally unstable kerosenes.
