Abstract
Process for marking industrial organic solvents miscible with water and petroleum products gaseous at atmospheric pressure and room temperature and liquid when compressed at low pressure, by the addition to the above solvents of a primary nitroderivative having the general formula R-CH.sub.2 -NO.sub.2
Claims11
A process for marking a material selected from the group consisting of (1) industrial organic solvents miscible with water and (2) petroleum products, gaseous at atmospheric pressure and room temperature and liquid when compressed at low pressure, which comprises adding to the above material marking sufficient amounts of a primary nitroderivative having general formula (I)
- R-CH.sub.2 -NO.sub.2 (I)
- wherein R is selected from H, CH.sub.3, and C.sub.2 H.sub.5.
A process for identifying petroleum products marked with primary nitroderivatives of general formula (I)
- R-CH.sub.2 -NO.sub.2 (I)
- wherein R is selected from H, CH.sub.3, and C.sub.2 H.sub.5, which consists in extracting the above nitroderivative in a basic medium and observing the colour developed from the reaction of the nitroderivative with a diazo-compound of an aromatic amine.
A process for identifying industrial organic solvents miscible with water and petroleum products, gaseous at atmospheric pressure and room temperature and liquid when compressed at low pressure, marked with nitromethane, which consists in extracting with water or mixtures of polar organic solvents and water, at a pH of between 9 and 12, and observing the chromatic tonality which develops from the reaction of the nitromethane with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sodium sulphonate (NQS).
A composition consisting essentially of an industrial organic solvent miscible with water and marking sufficient amounts of a primary nitroderivative of general formula (I)
- R-CH.sub.2 -NO.sub.2 (I)
- wherein R is selected from H, CH.sub.3, and C.sub.2 H.sub.5.
A composition consisting essentially of a petroleum product gaseous at atmospheric pressure and room temperature and liquid when compressed at low pressure, and marking sufficient amounts of a primary nitroderivative of general formula (I)
- R-CH.sub.2 -NO.sub.2 (I)
- wherein R is selected from H, CH.sub.3, and C.sub.2 H.sub.5.
A composition consisting essentially of liquefied petroleum gas and marking sufficient amounts of a primary nitroderivative of general formula (I)
- R-CH.sub.2 -NO.sub.2 (I)
- wherein R is selected from H, CH.sub.3, and C.sub.2 H.sub.5.
