B. Beaver et al., Development of oxygen scavenger additives for future jet fuels. A role forelectron-transfer-initiated oxygenation (ETIO) of 1,2,5-trimethylpyrrole?, ENERG FUEL, 14(2), 2000, pp. 441-447
Model autoxidative, radiolytic, and product studies are presented which exp
lore the potential of 1,2,5-trimethylpyrrole (TMP) as an oxygen-scavenger a
dditive for future jet fuels. The oxygenation of TMP in cyclooctane at 120
degrees C is consistent with a mechanism for the initial stages of the reac
tion being an ETIO reaction. This study provides new insights for the devel
opment of oxygen scavengers which may be useful for future jet fuels.
