Objective:
To determine the aniline point and mixed aniline point of a given sample.
Introduction:
Aniline point is the minimum temperature for a complete mixing of aniline and
materials such as gasoline; used in some specifications to indicate the aromatic
content of oils and to calculate approximate heat of combustion.
In Determination of aniline point is a test to evaluate base oils that are used in oil
mud. The test indicates if oil is likely to damage elastomers (rubber compounds) that
come in contact with the oil. The aniline point is called the "aniline point
temperature," which is the lowest temperature (°F or °C) at which equal volumes of
aniline (C6H5NH2) and the oil form a single
phase. Aniline point of oil gives an indication of
the possible tendency of deterioration of oil when
it comes into contact with packing, rubber sealing
etc. in general oils with a high aromatic content
are more detrimental to rubber products than those
with a low aromatic content. The relative aromatic
content of an oil is indicated by its aniline point
and oils with a high aromatic content have a low
aniline point and vice versa. The higher the aniline
point of the oil, the more desirable it is for drilling
fluid usage. In our experiment, 2 ml aniline and
2 ml diesel were taken in a test tube provided with
thermometer and heat was given until both aniline and diesel become completely
miscible. The aniline point of diesel was found at the temperature of 73.5°C.

Equipment:
1. Beaker
2. Test tube
3. Thermometer
4. Stopper
5. Heater
6- Dropper

Procedure:
1. First clean and dry the test tube, then put the 2ml of aniline and 2ml
of sample.
2. Put stopper in the tube and insert thermometer and make sure that
thermometer do not attach the bottom and side of tube.
3. Fill up the beaker by water and put the tube inside the beaker and
heated the water.
4. When the aniline and sample mixed reading the temperature.
5. Then outed the tube from heat water and when the aniline and
sample mixture become cloudy read the temperature.
6. Now measure the aniline point (average of temperature when mixed
and cloudy).
7. For mixed aniline point do like above step but these times put 2ml
of aniline and 1ml of n-hexane and 1ml of sample.

Discussion (1)
1. Why aniline point for sample (1) higher than sample (2)?
Because sample (1) have low aromatic content compared with sample (2) have
high aromatic content, and aniline point have indirect relation with aromatic
compound.
2. Why aniline point of sample (1) not equal with mixed aniline point for
sample (1)?
Because for mixed aniline point used (1ml sample, 1ml n-hexane, 2ml aniline)
compared with aniline point used (2ml sample, 2ml aniline), when add the n-
hexane will increasing the aromatic contents in sample for this the aniline point
of sample decrease.

Discussion (2)
1. Why aniline point for sample (1) higher than sample (2)?
The aniline point of a liquid will vary, depending upon the relative
experiment and determining the aniline point for unknown samples and by
discussing results student indicate that the sample one is diesel and the second
sample is mixed gasoline and lubricant oil, and according of this results student
lower than the concentrations of sample two (mix of gasoline and lubricant oil).
2. Why aniline point of sample (1) not equal with mixed aniline point for
sample (1)?
According to students result after mixing the sample 1 (diesel) with hexane
samples the aniline point gets lower than pure diesel, so it means that the hexane
that was add to diesel have a higher concentration of aromatic compounds in it.
