CCl4was later replaced with 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2 trifluoroethane. 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane is anozone depleting substance.

18、se5.1 The magnitude of the hydroperoxide number is anindication of the quantity of oxidizing constituents present.Deterioration of the fuels results in the formation of hydrop-eroxides and other oxygen-carrying compounds. The hydrop-eroxide number measures those compounds that will oxidizepotassium
19、iodide.5.2 The determination of the hydroperoxide number ofaviation turbine fuels, gasoline and diesel is significant becauseof the adverse effect of hydroperoxide upon certain elastomersin the fuel systems.5.3 The determination of hydroperoxide number of gasolineis significant because hydroperoxide
20、s have been demonstratedto decrease both Research and Motor Octane Numbers. Inaddition, hydroperoxides have adverse effects on certain fuelsystem components.5.4 The determination of hydroperoxide number of dieselfuel is significant because hydroperoxides have been demon-strated to increase the Cetan
