This article investigates the aromatic hydrocarbons of a residual oil produced by selective solvent treatment from a base stock for lube oil production. Most of the resins and solid hydrocarbons were removed and liquid chromatography was used to separate the residual oil into a naphthenicparaffinic fraction and two groups of aromatic hydrocarbons. The results indicate that as the molecular weight increases from 415 to 860, the content of benzene derivatives decreases from 78.3% to 33.6%. The content of naphthalene derivatives remains unchanged at approximately 16%. The content of phenanthrene hydrocarbons increases from 1% to 3.6%. The content of organic sulfur compounds, primarily thiophenes, increases mainly through increases in the numbers of naphthene rings in benzene derivatives and also in organic sulfur compounds.
