Luminescent determination of automobile petrol in hexane solutions.

The work deals with the problem of determination of automobile petrol of various octane numbers and petroleum contamination of some objects on the basis of analysis of photoluminescence spectra of automobile petrol samples. For this purpose steady state luminescence properties of samples of automobile petrol of different types being in sale were measured. Samples of automobile petrol diluted in hexane were prepared and their luminescence spectra were measured at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures of samples.
