Kinetics of decomposition (catalyzed by copper metal) of hydroperoxides formed during oxidation of jet fuel
Jet fuel is in contact with various structural materials both during storage and while in the engine fuel system. Furthermore, soluble metal compounds may appear in the fuel as impurities. In most cases both metals themselves and their ions have a catalytic effect on fuel oxidation (accelerating it). If the fuel contains an oxidation inhibitor, a more complex system is formed: fuel-inhibitor-metal. Some of the oxidative processes to be found in this system have been modeled recently using ionol and copper metal. The work demonstrated that particular metals catalyze the breakdown of hydroperoxides to form free radicals. To define in detail the mechanism of inhibited oxidation of fuels in the presence of catalytically active materials, the kinetics of the catalytic breakdown of hydroperoxides in the fuel were examined and the results are discussed. 2 references, 5 figures.
