Tetramethylbenzenes in Oils as New Geochemical Indicators to Establish Anoxic Sedimentation Conditions

  • RESEARCH
  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

In this paper tetrasubstituted C10 benzenes and their use in the solution of geochemical problems are examined. Their genetic connection with the natural aromatic carotenoids from biota living under the anoxic conditions of sedimentation areas was established. A provisional division of the oils according to the degree of maturity is proposed on the basis of their thermodynamic state.
