A class separation technique for shale oil based on normal phase partition high performance liquid chromatography has been developed using 20-..mu..m cyano bonded substrates. Separation within 30 min is achieved between aliphatic (alkane/alkene), aromatic, and polar fractions. Reproducible resolution with less than 5% class overlap is achieved. Oil samples from TOSCO II and In Situ retorting processes were compared for aliphatic, aromatic, and polar content. After preparative class separation, characterization was carried out by fused silica and glass wall coated open tubular capillary column gas chromatography, and by analytical high pressure liquid chromatography. 8 figures, 2 tables.
