Changes in the liquid-phase oxidation of a cycloparaffinic/paraffinic solvent resulting from the introduction of natural and synthetic fuel antioxidants are studied by tracking the depletion of dissolved O2 in a closed system at 185 °C and 3.2 MPa. A Jet-A fuel of reduced thermal stability is the source of natural fuel antioxidants that are introduced by making dilute (
