Highly Characterized Reference Standard: Reformate
31 Dec 2015This application note details the reference standard for the catalytic conversion of low-octane naphthas into high-octane products for gasoline and aviation fuel blending and aromatic concentrates. The predominant reaction during reforming is the dehydrogenation of naphthenes (cycloparaffins) to the corresponding aromatics. For example, cyclohexane reforms to benzene, and methylcyclohexane reforms to toluene. Research Octane Numbers can be increased from the low 40s to over 100 through reforming. Carefully analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS procedures, this standard is intended for use as both a qualitative and quantitative reference standard.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
