Abstract

The work deals with the problem of determination of automobile petrol of various octane numbers and petroleum contamination of some objects on the basis of analysis of photoluminescence spectra of automobile petrol samples. For this purpose steady state luminescence properties of samples of automobile petrol of different types being in sale were measured. Samples of automobile petrol diluted in hexane were prepared and their luminescence spectra were measured at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures of samples. We constructed concentration dependences of luminescence intensity of both wide band luminescence of liquid solutions obtained at room temperature and peak intensities of luminescence lines of quasi linear spectra of solutions frozen at 77 K. Possibility to use luminescence method for analysis of petrol pollutions on some objects is illustrated by results of investigation of pine‐wood pieces contaminated by automobile petrol.
