Kerosene is a medium petroleum fraction. It is widely used as a commercial fuel. Kerosene is a complex blend of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with carbon numbers ranging from C9 – C16 . Flashpoint, distillation range, burning characteristics, sulfur content, color, and cloud point are some of the important characteristics of kerosene.
Application
Kerosene is used:
As a fuel in the preparation of kerosene–alumina nanofluid.
In the preparation of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) by an incomplete combustion method.
In the synthesis of wrinkled graphene nanostructures by thermal decomposition followed by modified Hummers′ method.
Features and Benefits
Kerosene fuel is ideal for practical use due to its:

Dermal absorption of JP-8 jet fuel can lead to skin irritation within hours after exposure. This study detected the formation of oxidative species and low-molecular-weight DNA in rat skin as potential indicators of JP-8-induced skin injury. At 0, 1, 2
We report on the particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the exhaust of a test-bed gas turbine engine when powered by Jet A-1 aviation fuel and a number of alternative fuels: Sasol fully synthetic jet fuel (FSJF), Shell gas-to-liquid (GTL)
Jet A and JP-8 are the major jet fuels used in civilian and military (US Air Force) flights, respectively. JP-8+100 is a new jet fuel recently introduced by US Air Force in some of its locations. The purpose of this

Microorganisms contaminating international Jet A-1 aircraft fuel and fuel preserved in Joint Hydrant Storage Tank (JHST) were isolated, characterized and identified. The isolates were Bacillus subtillis, Bacillus megaterium, Flavobacterium oderatum, Sarcina flava, Micrococcus varians, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus cereus
