An Atlas of Gas Chromatograms of Oils Using Dual Flame-Ionization and Nitrogen Phosphorus Detectors.

Abstract

The report details experiment techniques for using a thermionic nitrogen phosphorus detector (NPD) for gas chromatographic (GC) 'fingerprinting' of petroleum and synthetic oils. An alumina column chromatography procedure for isolating and concentrating the compounds in this 'N-fingerprint' is described. Dual FID-NPD detector GC curves of over 70 assorted petroleum crudes and distillates run on a 50-foot Dexsil-300 SCOT column are reproduced to form a reference atlas for comparitive purposes. The data in the atlas indicate that this detector combination can be useful for oil fingerprinting, and research in organic geochemistry and oil pollution and combustion products. (Author)
