Temperature-Programmed Retention Indices for GC and GC-MS of Hydrocarbon Fuels and Simulated Distillation GC of Heavy Oils

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Analytical Advances for Hydrocarbon Research

Part of the book series: Modern Analytical Chemistry ((MOAC))

Abstract

It is important to clarify the exact chemical composition of various hydrocarbon streams for both fundamental studies of their composition-structure-property relationships and their practical applications for transportation fuels and organic chemical feedstocks. This chapter is a selective review of studies conducted in our laboratory on temperature-programmed retention indices for gas chromatography (GC) and GC coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of distillate fuels, and high-temperature simulated distillation GC analysis of residual oils and their upgrading products. Liquid hydrocarbon fuels derived from petroleum and coal as well as natural gas through various processes contain a broad range of compounds that are different in boiling points, carbon number, molecular weight, compound class and chemical structure.
