Alumina has unique textural properties and functionalized surface. The single or multi-treatments of alumina with calcination and alkali metal treatment (NaCl) are of prime one importance not only for determining the structure, textural and surface chemistry of the phase but also to understand how modification is related to the changes in these properties and also to the change in its performance as solid stationary phase. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔG and ΔS) were determined using n-hexane as a probe in order to show the adsorbate-adsorbent interaction. It was observed that the non-polar solutes could be separated independent of the reactivity and porosity of the alumina surfaces. Alkali metal modification of the calciened alumina is a selective stationary phase for eluting natural gas sample exhibiting good separation. &nbsp

Gasoline come primarily from petroleum cuts, it is the preferred liquid fuel in our lives. Two gasoline samples of octane numbers 91 and 95 from Saudi Arabia petrol stations were studied. This study was achieved at three different temperatures 20oC, 30oC and 50oC representing the change in temperatures of the different seasons of the year. Both the evaporated gases of light aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) of gasoline samples inside the tank were subjected to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively via capillary gas chromatography. The detailed hydrocarbon composition and the octane number of the studied gasoline samples were determined using detailed hydrocarbon analyzer. The idea of research is indicating the impact of light aromatic compounds in gasoline on the toxic effect of human and environment on the one hand, and on octane number of gasoline on the other hand. Although the value of octane number will be reduced but this will have a positive impact on the environment as a way to produce clean fuel.
