Cd. Ceballo et al., ESTIMATION OF OLEFINS TO AROMATICS RATIO (O A) IN CRACKED NAPHTHAS BYBROMINE NUMBER ASSAY/, Petroleum science and technology, 16(1-2), 1998, pp. 179-189
This study was conducted to compare the percentage of olefins in crack
ed naphthas determined by PONA, with that calculated from Bromine Numb
er, according to ASTM D 1159-93 method. Olefins calculated from Bromin
e Number were comparable to those determined by PONA, except for crack
ed naphtha fractions in which aromatics are in large proportion. Furth
ermore, it was demonstrated that Bromine Number can be used to estimat
e the olefins/aromatics ratio.
