Description

Several mexican gasolines (NOVA, MAGNA-SIN, DIESEL and DIESEL-SIN) were analyzed by neutron activation technique. Measurements of lead content were carried out by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Important amounts of halogens (bromine and chlorine) and metals (vanadium and aluminium) were found. The amount of lead was < 1 ppm in the MAGNA-SIN, DIESEL and DIESEL-SIN. The presence of bromine in these gasolines is important because they are highly consumed in Mexico, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate its environmental impact. (Author)
