Recently radioisotopes have been widely applied for the quantitative and qualitive analyses of gaseous, liquid and solid fuels. Among many ways of analyses, the author explains X-, β-and γ-ray absorption, nuclear absorption, and fluorescent X-ray methods as well as the rapid analysis of coal ash by means of X, β and γ rays, radioactivation analysis and the analysis of fuel gas by high sensitive gaschromatograph in which RI is used as detectors.
Some applications are shown as determination and ultimate analysis of
H and
H/
C in fuels, analysis of S, Cl and heavy elements in petroleum hydrocarbons, analysis of Ni and V in heavy oil, determination of tetraethyl-lead in gasoline, determination of H
2 in heavy oil and calculation of its calorific value, determination of Cu, Fe and V in crudes and liquid fuels, and analysis of C and O
2 is coal ash and coal. The results are obtainable within the accuracy of from 0.1 to 0.01%.
