The quantitative analysis of phenolic and amine-containing petroleum additives can be challenging. One such compound-N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-propanediamine, a common metal deactivator additive (MDA)--is thought to inhibit fuel oxidation catalyzed by metals both in the fuel and on surfaces. The ability to measure the concentration of MDA in storage stability tests, thermal-stressing studies, and field samples is important. Quantitating low concentrations of MDA can be difficult because of surface adsorptivity due to the phenol and amine functional groups. This paper describes the shortcomings of direct-injection gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to quantitate MDA as well as a solution to the analytical problem using the common silylation agent BSA to derivatize the MDA. Results demonstrate that the silylation technique is suitable for the determination of MDA concentrations in aviation fuel samples and suggests that the MDA may be readily determined in other petroleum products with a lower detection limit for MDA of 0.5 mg/L. Measurements conducted in heated batch reactors indicate that MDA concentration is reduced as hydrocarbon fuels are stressed. In addition, only free or available MDA is measured by this technique, not MDA that is complexed with metals.
