DETERMINATION OF ACETIC AND PROPANOIC ACIDS CONCENTRATION IN NIGERIAN KEROSENE

The paper aims to determine acetic and propanoic acid concentrations in some selected samples of kerosene used in Nigeria. The Armfield Liquid-Liquid Extraction Unit was employed to carry out the study. Distilled water and kerosene samples from five different sources were used for the investigation...
