Rapid Hydrocarbon Group-Type Analysis by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract
We have developed a rapid high performance liquid chromatographic[HPLC] method to determine analytically hydrocarbon group types: saturates, aromatics, polar compounds, and n-hexane insolubles in liquid or solid hydrocarbons [natural or synthetic]. This basic method is applicable to total crude oils, gasolines, kerosenes, middle distillates, fuel oils, residuals, lubricating oils and synthetic crudes derived from coal liquids, shale oils and tar sands. Data are presented which include both calibration factors and the analyses of these materials.
