The amine content of a fossil fuel sample is determined by using an extensive acidic extraction and adsorption plus gel chromatographic purification procedure. After the amine isolate is trifluoracetylated, the derivatized products are identified by GC/MS. The procedure gives a precision of approximately +/-30% RSD at a level of 10 MUg/g for amines ranging from 1-aminonaphthalene to 1-aminopyrene, and a detection limit of 2MUg/g. The species 2-aminonaphthalene may be a useful indicator of the polycyclic aromatic amine content of fossil fuel materials. The materials tested included coal-derived oils and coal gasifier tars.
