The name comes from the English kerosene, from the Greek keros - wax. There is no clear formula for kerosene, since it is not pure Chemical substance, and a mixture of hydrocarbons of both linear and aromatic structures, which, in fact, meet only one condition - they are distilled at a temperature of 150 to 200 degrees. Hence the more accurate name. nave. races. i.e. petroleum solvent. And 150/200 is the temperature range at which the molecules pass from the liquid to the gaseous state, the pattern is similar to the BR-2 solvent, but the molecules are longer, respectively, have a higher distillation temperature.
Kerosene TC-1 is a clear or slightly yellowish liquid with a characteristic odor of aromatic hydrocarbons. The main characteristics of kerosene ts-1: good volatility to ensure the completeness of combustion; high completeness and heat of combustion to determine the flight range; good pumpability and low temperature properties for feeding into the combustion chamber; low tendency to form deposits; good material compatibility and anti-wear and anti-static properties.

Danger to humans from Russian sources
There are indications in the literature that the inhalation of gases emitted by kerosene engines caused in workers, in addition to headaches, difficulty in swallowing, speech disorder, and slight paralysis of p. facialis. Kerosene workers often suffer from skin diseases, especially eczema. -In medicine Kerosene. finds application as an external agent in the treatment of scabies, lice on the head, etc. In dignity. In practice, it is used for the purposes of disinfestation, for the extermination of bedbugs (in the form of Malinin’s liquid), fleas (in the form of a soap-kerosene emulsion), fly larvae (pouring manure heaps with kerosene), mosquito larvae (pouring reservoirs with kerosene), etc.
For occupational health issues, see Oil. N. Ignatov. Literature data on the toxicity of kerosene are scarce and contradictory. Some consider Kerosene to be completely harmless. Levin (Lewin), on the basis of his observations, believes that kerosene preparations cause painful phenomena only if they are taken in large quantities, and all symptoms pass quickly. According to "17" 18 Levin, especially those components of Kerosene that boil at t ° 250-270 ° have an irritating effect on the mucous membranes (in general, normal industrial kerosene has a distillation temperature of 150-200 degrees C) and therefore those bad grades of it, which are rich in these hydrocarbons. In general, it is believed that ordinary commercial kerosene, well purified by distillation from poisonous, volatile, easily flammable constituents, is not poisonous and, at most, can cause nausea. According to Hoffmann, cases of poisoning are also explained by the presence of volatile hydrocarbons in poorly purified Kerosene, in particular petroleum ethers (kerosene, naphtha, etc.). Russian kerosene, containing more aromatic substances, is more toxic than American; Baku is more poisonous than Caucasian.
In court.-med. In practice, Kerosene poisoning occurred either as an accident, or in attempts to commit suicide, murder, and also when using kerosene. in to lay down. purposes. Sometimes kerosene. was introduced peros and per vaginam to expel the fetus. In court.-med. relation, it is also ordered to note that the external use of kerosene. in the form of compresses and lotions, it first causes irritation, and again - inflammation with a long-lasting reddish-brown color of the affected areas, and there have been cases of deliberate use of kerosene, in the form of subcutaneous injections for the production of artifacts (artificial phlegmon, inflammation, etc.). Lethal dose of kerosene. peros for humans has not been precisely established; some believe that it is estimated at approximately 7.7 g per 1 kg of weight.
According to modern reference books - It is very dangerous to lubricate the tonsils and throat with kerosene, as this can lead to a sharp spasm and swelling of the larynx, suffocation. Once in the stomach, kerosene often causes not only a burn of the mucous membrane, but, absorbed into the blood, serious damage to the nervous tissue and parenchymal organs (liver, kidneys). In my childhood with angina, they regularly smeared my throat with it, and I did not feel any consequences.
Application of Kerosene
Of all petroleum solvents, it is most widely used in the paint and varnish industry. It is used as a solvent for fatty alkyds, some rubbers (butyl rubber, cyclorubber), polybutyl methacrylate, epoxy esters, in the preparation of organodispersions, in the dilution of oil varnishes.
Kerosene - transparent, slightly oily to the touch, flammable liquid obtained by distillation or rectification of oil.
Depending on the chemical composition and the method of processing oil from which kerosene is obtained, it includes: saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons - 20-60%, naphthenic 20-50%, bicyclic aromatic 5-25%, unsaturated - up to 2%, impurities of sulfur, nitrogen or oxygen compounds .
Used as jet fuel, combustible component of liquid rocket fuel, fuel for firing glass and porcelain products, for household heating and lighting fixtures, in apparatus for cutting metals, as a solvent, a raw material for the oil refining industry. Kerosene can be used as a substitute for winter and arctic diesel fuel for diesel engines. For multi-fuel engines (based on diesel), it is possible to use pure kerosene and even AI-80 gasoline. It is allowed to add up to 20% of kerosene to summer diesel fuel to reduce the pour point without degrading performance. Also, kerosene is the main fuel for fire shows (fire performances), due to its good absorbency and relatively low combustion temperature. It is also used for washing mechanisms, for removing rust.
The main types of kerosene
Aviation kerosene, or jet fuel, is used in turboprop and turbojet engines aircraft not only fuel, but also a coolant and is used to lubricate parts of fuel systems. Therefore, it must have good anti-wear (characterize the reduction of wear of rubbing surfaces in the presence of fuel) and low-temperature properties, high thermal-oxidative stability and high specific heat of combustion.
Rocket fuel. Kerosene is used in rocket technology as a hydrocarbon fuel and at the same time as the working fluid of hydraulic machines. Paired with liquid oxygen, it is used on the lower stages of many launch vehicles: domestic ones - Soyuz, Molniya, Zenit, Energia; American - series "Delta" and "Atlas". To increase the density, and thus the efficiency of the rocket system, the propellant is often supercooled. In the future, it is planned to replace kerosene with more efficient hydrocarbon fuels - methane, ethane, propane, etc.
technical kerosene used as a raw material for the pyrolytic production of ethylene, propylene and aromatic hydrocarbons, as a fuel mainly for firing glass and porcelain products, as a solvent for washing mechanisms and parts. In Russia, the norms for technical kerosene are set by GOST 18499-73 "Kerosene for technical purposes".
Lighting kerosene. This type of kerosene is mainly used in kerosene or incandescent lamps, and also as a fuel and solvent. The quality of such kerosene in lamps is determined mainly by the height of the smokeless flame. The very quality and composition of kerosene has a significant impact on GNP. Hydrotreating can help improve the quality of kerosene.
As a product of oil distillation, it can have different operational and chemical-physical characteristics, which depend on the processing option and the composition of the oil used. The composition of the product may include the following hydrocarbons in different percentages: aliphatic saturated (from 20 to 60 percent), naphthenic (from 20 to fifty), bicyclic (from 5 to 25), unsaturated. In addition, kerosenes may contain compounds based on sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen. Changing the composition changes the characteristics, which is reflected in the ego physical properties, which determine the possibilities of using this oil product to solve certain problems. Thus, it is possible to make a classification of types of kerosene according to the field of its application.
Already from the name of this type of kerosene it becomes clear that it is used in aviation as a fuel for jet and turboprop engines. But other than that aviation kerosene serves has two more functions. It serves:
- refrigerant for aircraft;
- lubricant for fuel system components.
The main requirements for aviation fuel can be formulated as follows:
- high antiwear and lubricating characteristics;
- low temperature qualities;
- resistance to thermal oxidation;
- high heat of combustion.
As a rule, distillates are used as aviation fuel, including gas oil, naphtha and kerosene fractions themselves, as well as gasoline distillates with a boiling point limit of 60°C to 220°C.
The domestic industry produces the following types of aviation kerosene:
- TC1 (a product of direct oil distillation with a fraction from 150 to 250 degrees). To reduce the percentage of sulfur, the oil product, if necessary, is subjected to hydrotreatment. To preserve the lubricating properties that sulfur compounds provide, refined kerosenes are mixed with straight distillation products. This type of kerosene has found application as a fuel material for subsonic military and civil aviation.
- T6 (obtained by deep hydrogenation of direct distillation fractions) does not apply to mass products and is mainly used for refueling supersonic aircraft of the Air Force.
- Т8В (hydrotreatment product from fractions with boiling point from 165 to 280 degrees). Used for supersonic military aircraft.
- RT (produced by hydrotreating kerosene fractions boiling off at temperatures from 135 to 280 degrees) is, along with TC1, a mass-produced product. To improve anti-wear properties, special additives are added to such fuel. This type of kerosene fully complies with international quality standards and can last up to ten years.
- T1 (obtained as a result of the distillation of low-sulfur grades of oil from fractions that boil away at temperature regime from 130 to 280 degrees). Such a product, despite the low sulfur content, has excellent lubricating characteristics, which are provided by the presence of naphthenic acids. But, at the same time, this type of kerosene is characterized by low temperature stability and contributes to the formation of deposits on engine elements. This type of kerosene is produced in limited quantities of the first grade.
- T2 (a product of direct distillation of fractions with a boiling point from 60 to 280 degrees) includes gasoline fractions up to 2/5, therefore it has a low density. The use of such kerosene limits the altitude of flights. Most often, this type of kerosene is used as a backup fuel.
technical kerosene
Alternative medicine has long been using kerosene to treat various diseases. It is believed that this tool helps to quite successfully deal with the pathologies of various organs and systems. However, many medical workers hold the opposite opinion, believing that such treatment can only bring harm to health and pose a threat to life.
Information for users
What is kerosene?
Kerosene is obtained from the distillation of petroleum. It contains volatile hydrocarbons of various boiling points. Kerosene is considered a good solvent, used as a fuel and for filling lighting and blowtorches. Based on it, paints and varnishes are produced, in particular drying oil, alkyds, etc.
It does not dissolve in water, forming a film on its surface. It is worth noting that kerosene is quite dangerous. At high concentration its vapors can poison a person. In addition, if it comes into contact with fire, it may cause a fire or explosion.
How to store it?
It is believed that the shelf life of kerosene, subject to all conditions, should be no more than five years. It must be stored in a tightly closed container in a place that excludes contact with the container. sun rays. It is also unacceptable to leave kerosene near open flames or heating elements. The room in which this agent is stored must be well ventilated, otherwise kerosene vapors may accumulate in it. When working with it, it is advisable to use protective equipment: a bandage over the mouth and nose or a respirator, goggles and gloves.
How to clean kerosene at home?
To purify kerosene at home, you can use adsorbents. To do this, kerosene is poured into a bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters, 3 large spoons of ordinary salt are also poured into it. After that, the container must be shaken well. Then kerosene is filtered through a clean rag with activated carbon into another container of a similar volume. It is placed in a small saucepan, where water is poured so that the bottle is level. Both the bottle and the pan must be open. Then the pan is put on fire and boiled for an hour and a half, until the salt sinks to the bottom of the bottle.
There is another way to clean kerosene with water. It needs a three-liter jar, into which a liter of boiling water and a liter of kerosene are poured, after which the container is closed with a lid and shaken well. Then leave to stand for five minutes. Drain the water with a hose, and do not use it to suck it with your mouth, as this can lead to poisoning.
Where to buy kerosene for treatment?
Ordinary kerosene can be purchased at hardware and hardware stores. It is also sold through online stores. A purified product is offered in some pharmacies.
Benefit and harm
Useful properties of kerosene
It is believed that kerosene has such healing qualities as:
However, we should not forget that doctors who adhere to the principles of traditional medicine are strongly against the use of kerosene for treatment.
What diseases does it treat?
Kerosene is widely used for treatment, not only externally, but also internally. It is believed to treat diseases such as:
- Tuberculosis.
- Injuries: bruises, dislocations, sprains.
- Edema.
- Headache.
- Pain in the joints.
- Oncological pathologies.
- Skin diseases.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular, digestive and genitourinary systems.
- Body aging.
- Increased irritability.
- Diseases of the blood.
Before starting treatment with kerosene-based products, it is worth checking your body for a reaction to it. To do this, a drop of it is applied to the skin in the behind-the-ear space, if after a few hours this place does not turn red, then the person is not allergic to kerosene. In its pure form, this remedy can cause mucosal burns, so it can not be used for gargling, heavy lubrication and other similar procedures.
Abuse of lotions with kerosene for sensitive skin types can lead to inflammation. This can be avoided by using mixtures with the addition of other substances, for example, vegetable oil.
Contraindications
Absolute contraindications for the use of kerosene include:
- liver pathology;
- kidney failure;
- allergic to this product;
- age less than 12 years;
- tendency to bleed.
When using kerosene for treatment, it is very important to monitor the dosage of the remedy. Signs of poisoning with vapors of this substance are similar to those of alcohol poisoning. The victim has nausea, dizziness, irritability, vomiting may open. Poisoning when taking kerosene inside is manifested by: an increase in heart rate and temperature, reddening of the skin, the appearance of a fainting state, loss of consciousness. The lethal dose of this product is considered to be about two glasses. pure substance. If signs of poisoning are found, a doctor should be called. Before his arrival, you can drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting, and then take a sufficient amount of activated charcoal.
Folk remedies on kerosene
Walnut tincture
In addition to pure kerosene, in folk medicine there are recipes for tinctures on this substance. The most famous of these is the green walnut tincture. They contain a large amount of tannins and astringents, as well as iodine. Nuts have antimicrobial and anthelmintic effects, have a beneficial effect on blood composition. This tincture is used to treat cancer and other pathologies.
To prepare it, you will need green nuts of milky ripeness. They are crushed with a meat grinder or blender and transferred to a jar so that it is about two-thirds full. After that, purified kerosene is poured into the container. The bank is placed in a dark place. After three weeks, the resulting liquid is filtered through gauze or special paper and poured into another container. Keep it tightly closed with a lid and placed in a cool dark place. The storage period should not exceed one year.
Pharmacies sell a ready-made tincture of walnuts on kerosene called Todikamp.
Kerosene soap compress
To prepare a kerosene-soap compress, it is necessary to moisten a small piece of cloth in kerosene, then squeeze out excess liquid from it. Then one side of the compress is well rubbed with laundry soap. Apply such a compress with a soapy side to the skin on the affected area. From above it is covered with a film and insulated with a layer of cotton wool. Wrap over it and secure with a bandage. Usually a compress is put on at night.
Alternative treatment with aviation kerosene
How to remove lice with kerosene at home?
There are several ways to use kerosene to remove lice:
- A cotton pad or swab is moistened with pure kerosene and applied to the scalp so that all hair is treated. Then a plastic bag is put on the head and left for several hours. After that, the hair is washed well using a weak acetic solution. To eliminate all lice and nits, at least three treatments with an interval of several days between them will be required. This method cannot be used to treat children with head lice, as they have too delicate and sensitive skin.
- You need to mix a large spoonful of kerosene and shampoo and add the same amount of any vegetable oil to the mixture. The product is applied to the hair and foamed well, left for a quarter of an hour and washed off. After processing, you should carefully comb your head. The procedure is repeated after a couple of days.
- Mix 3 tablespoons of honey, 4 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of kerosene, you can also add a little shampoo to the product. Apply it as a mask, applying to the scalp and washing off.
Treatment of fungus with kerosene
To get rid of the fungus, you can take 100 ml of purified kerosene and mix with 50 g of celandine ash. Then the remedy is infused for 10 days in a dark place. After that, the resulting infusion is poured into a suitable container, it is better to take an enameled bowl, and heated using a water bath. It needs to cook for about half an hour. After cooling, the mixture is filtered. You can use it to lubricate the lesions of the fungus. This should be done twice a day. In severe lesions, foot baths with this remedy can be performed. Treatment of fungus with kerosene, as a rule, takes about 3 weeks.
Kerosene for angina
Angina often occurs in the cold season. For its treatment, you need to dilute 10 drops of kerosene with 50 ml of heated water. This mixture can be gargled daily for 5-7 days.
You can also carry out compresses with kerosene. For them, you need to moisten the cloth in a heated agent and wrap it around your neck, the compress is closed from above with polyethylene and a warm scarf. You need to keep it for at least an hour.
Applied to treat angina lubrication. A small amount of cotton wool is wound on a long thin stick, moistened with kerosene, squeezed out of excess substance and lubricated with tonsils. You need to repeat the procedure every half hour. With advanced forms of angina, the presence of injuries, abscesses and damage on the tonsils, it is impossible to smear them with kerosene.
You can rinse with a weak solution of kerosene. To do this, it is diluted with warm water at the rate of a large spoon per glass of water, half a small spoon of soda is also added there. You need to gargle for a week every half an hour, bringing the number of rinses to 10-12 per day.
Kerosene for cancer
Walnut tincture is widely used to treat cancer. Use it in courses for 7-10 days, taking three times a day for a large spoonful of funds. It is advisable not to drink it with water and not to seize. It is also useful to make a compress from this tincture on the area of the right hypochondrium, leaving it on the skin for a quarter of an hour.
Cancer of the stomach or intestines is treated by taking a small spoonful of purified kerosene in the morning, about 2 hours before meals. They drink it for five days, after which they take a break for the same time, and then repeat the treatment.
Heel spur treatment
To cope with a heel spur, you can use mashed potatoes diluted with kerosene. The consistency of the product should resemble liquid semolina. This mixture is transferred to a basin in which the legs soar until the product cools. After that, the legs are wiped, they are put on thick warm socks, into which they poured a little red pepper, and leave them all night. The course of treatment is about ten days.
Treatment of joints with kerosene
Some joint diseases are treated with kerosene, such as arthritis. For this, compresses, rubbing and baths with this remedy are used.
To prepare rubbing, mix 100 g of salt, 50 g of mustard and kerosene. The result should be a thick mixture. She rubs the affected joints before going to bed. You can also mix fir oil and kerosene in a ratio of 2 to 1. With the resulting remedy, lightly rub the area of the affected joints daily for at least 30 days.
The compress is made from soft canvas. It is moistened in kerosene and the excess liquid is squeezed out, after which one of the sides is rubbed with laundry soap and applied to the affected joint with the soapy side. A layer of polyethylene is placed on top of such a compress, and then a layer of cotton wool.
Baths with kerosene are carried out for a quarter of an hour. During this time, the area of the inflamed joint should be in a container with kerosene.
From cough
To get rid of a prolonged cough, prepare a solution of 8 drops of kerosene and a glass of water. This remedy is taken orally with an interval of 3 hours. This procedure can be combined with kerosene rubbing of the chest of a patient with bronchitis. After this, the patient should be well wrapped. The duration of such treatment can be 1.5-2 weeks.
From worms
For acne
There are several recipes for acne treatment using kerosene:
- Long non-healing wounds can be treated with lotions from a mixture of a liter of sunflower oil, 100 ml of purified kerosene and 30 ml of celandine juice. The mixture should be infused for a week in a cool place, and then lotions should be applied using a gauze swab.
- Boils can be lubricated with kerosene every day in the evenings.
- On papillomas, it is recommended to apply walnut tincture on kerosene twice a day.
- For purulent acne, a mixture of kerosene and fish oil is used in a ratio of 1 to 3. It is applied to a clean rag and applied to the affected area.
Lighting kerosene is a kind of combustible mixture of liquid hydrocarbons obtained from oil refining products. Unlike aviation and rocket fuel, this species kerosene is mainly used in lighting fixtures, as a solvent (technical). The composition, properties and requirements are regulated by TU 38.401-58-10-01. In accordance with GOST 4753-68 (obtained from low-sulfur oil), 4 grades are distinguished depending on the height of the non-smoking flame.
domestic use
The use of kerosene in everyday life is not limited to fuel for kerosene lamps. Fluid is used for:
1. Fighting bedbugs
Unlike specialized insecticides, kerosene destroys adult insects, larvae and eggs almost instantly. They process not only floors, furniture, but also cracks, hard-to-reach places, baseboards. In its pure form, the liquid is not used - emulsions are prepared with ethyl alcohol, laundry soap or turpentine (1:1, 5:4 and 7, 5:2, respectively) with the addition of naphthalene. You can also prepare a tincture with the addition of tobacco dust (infused for at least 24 hours).
2. Fuel for lighting fixtures.
Of course, it is almost impossible to find a used kerosene lamp in an apartment or a private house today, but for remote villages and towns, country houses with no electricity supplied, a combustible mixture can be used for lamps, stoves, kerosene stoves, kerosene gas. Often used for kerosene lamps in documentary or filming.
3. Degreasing and dissolving various compositions and liquids
Using kerosene, you can degrease the surface before applying sealant or painting, but it should be noted that after drying, a fatty film may remain - it is better to use white spirit and similar compounds for this purpose. It is possible to dissolve alkyd and oil paints (refers to medium volatile solvents). When dissolving paint and varnish compositions to the required viscosity, the liquid is added in small portions, while thoroughly mixing.
4. Treatment of garden trees
The use of kerosene in the country is justified in the fight against scale insects and some other pests. An emulsion is prepared from 5 liters of hot water, 400 g of laundry soap and 800 g of kerosene. Next, the emulsion is dissolved in 10 liters of water and the trees are sprayed.
5. Spheres of entertainment (fire show)
Fire show is popular at weddings, parties, holidays. Firemen swallow, blow out fire, use various props (poi, meteors, staffs, fans, etc.). For fire shows, lighting kerosene is used, less often other combustible substances to obtain the desired effect.
6. Car body cleaning
When driving on a newly paved road surface, the car owner runs the risk of staining the paintwork of the body with bituminous stains. To remove them, you can use special automotive vehicles, solvents (white spirit) or kerosene
7. Fishing
It is used as a small additive to the dough, which is used to catch carp. Enough 1-2 drops per 100 g of dough for bait and subsequent fishing.
You can also use a combustible mixture for cleaning tools, as fuel for kerosene cutters - devices for cutting metal. In industry, heavy lighting kerosenes (pyronafts) are used to illuminate flammable objects (mines, boiler houses), for signal lights, buoys, and lighting fixtures for small ships.
Precautionary measures
Despite the widespread use of a combustible mixture in everyday life, one should not forget about the dangers of using kerosene in accordance with some "folk" recipes. For example, treatment with this remedy, incl. and its ingestion is never used official medicine, but common in folk.
The use of kerosene as medicinal product» non-traditional medicine (both for external processing and for ingestion) is unacceptable and is not recognized as official medical institutions. Therefore, any compresses, tinctures and other means, if they are used for rubbing, getting rid of lice, treating various diseases, you use solely at your own peril and risk. It is better to refrain from the "therapeutic" use of the combustible mixture.
Do not forget that kerosene is a hot, flammable liquid, so it is imperative to comply with fire safety requirements for domestic use and storage.
When working with flammable liquid indoors, the following conditions must be met:
- Fully serviceable supply and exhaust ventilation, ventilation of the premises after completion of work.
- Rubber gloves are used to protect the skin of the hands, special goggles are used to protect the eyes.
- Respiratory organs in case of large treated area (liquid concentration), bad job ventilation must be protected with a respirator.
- In case of contact with the skin, the area must be washed thoroughly with warm soapy water to avoid irritation of the skin.
- In case of fire, use a fire extinguisher, sand or earth, soda, dense fabrics.
Subject to all precautions, the use of liquid in mixtures in the recommended proportions excludes damage to property, harm to garden trees and pets, and harm to human health. The main thing is to buy petrochemical solvents from trusted manufacturers that manufacture products in accordance with current standards GOST and technical conditions.
