Abstract:
Fluorescence and Excitation spectra of Navy Standard Fuel Oil NSFO, Navy Distillate Fuel ND, Diesel Fuel and Navy Aircraft fuels JP-4 and JP-5 were obtained. Excitation spectra and fluorescence spectra are characteristic and may allow selective identification of these fuels. Quantitative determinations by fluorescence analysis of ND fuel oil extracted from sea water samples, with cyclohexane, showed saturation values of approximately 11 ppm. An all glass, in-situ vacuum filtering water sampler was designed and built for collection of filtered .45 micron glass noncontaminated sea water samples for the Fluorescence analysis determination of the natural background fluorescence.
