Compound-type separation and characterization studies for a 370 to 530/sup 0/C distillate of Recluse, WY, crude oil

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5003560
The Bureau of Mines has developed a systematic procedure for separation, characterization, and semiquantitative analysis of high-boiling (350 to 550/sup 0/C) distillates of crude oils. Isothermal and molecular distillation were used to prepare the 370 to 530/sup 0/C distillate of recluse, Wyo.,crude oil. The distillate was separated into fractions by chemical treatment, silica-alumina gel adsorption, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The fractions were analyzed by use of GPC correlations and mass and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry. The increased knowledge of petroleum composition obtained from the data will contribute to improved petroleum processing and utilization and energy conservation. (GRA)
