May I ask everyone, what is the reason for the yellowing of reformed gasoline? In terms of the mechanism, it is said that excessive chlorine injection causes the gasoline product to turn yellow. But exactly how does this happen – is it due to a physical change in color or a chemical reaction?
I’ll take the lead for now; I hope experts who are good at restructuring can answer this:D
Why not conduct testing and analysis on the yellowed products to find out the cause of the yellowing? If the container used for sampling is contaminated, it may also cause the oil to turn yellow. For process-related reasons, it is necessary to analyze the raw materials and products before a judgment can be made.
Since you’ve already mentioned it, why not check whether the amount of chlorine injected is excessive? No, let’s analyze the specific components in gasoline again!
Depending on the composition of your gasoline, if it contains C9, it will be yellow
My impression is that it’s either heavy aromatics or olefins
There should be heavy aromatics of C9 or higher; this can be determined by performing a PONA test on the gasoline.
