Summary Oxygen consumption kinetics have been followed by gas chromatography when T-1 fuel is heated (in a TSRT-2 instrument) in the presence of various additives that improve the thermal-oxidative stability of jet fuels. It has been established that the antioxidant additive AO22-46, at concentrations that eliminate sediment formation, very nearly eliminates oxygen consumption. The addition of IPODA or copolymeric methacrylate-vinylpyridine additive to the fuel at concentrations eliminating sediment formation does not eliminate oxygen consumption or gum formation, both of which are still significant; this indicates that the use of these additives does not influence the oxidation process. The comparative data on oxygen consumption kinetics, together with the data on gum and sediment formation that have been obtained for the various additives, indicate that the use of this gas chromatographic method has made it possible to establish the antioxidant or dispersant action of the test additives.
