Chromatographic isolation of vanadyl porphyrins from heavy oil resins
- Russian Academy of Sciences, A. E. Arbuzov Institute of Organic and Physical Chemistry (Russian Federation)
A broad fraction of petroleum vanadyl porphyrins of high spectral purity was isolated from heavy oil resins with high vanadium content using a two-step chromatographic method. At the first step, the primary concentrate of vanadyl porphyrins was separated from the resins on the silica gel column. At the second step, it was further purified by the gradient elution through the column packed with sulfo-cationite. According to UV—VIS spectroscopy, this technique allows one to isolate up to 70% of vanadyl porphyrins with the spectral purity corresponding to the best results of other purification methods providing only narrow fractions of vanadyl porphyrins of comparable purity. Deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrin (DPEP) and etioporphyrin (Etio) series of vanadyl porphyrins with the carbon number range of C{sub 28}—C{sub 42} and DPEP/ Etio ratio equal to 1.18 were identified by MALDI-TOF mass-spectrometry.
