Application of liquid chromatography to high-boiling petroleum distillates

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7127410
Systematic application of ion-exchange, coordination-complex, and adsorption chromatography was used to separate high-boiling distillates into acid, base, neutral nitrogen, saturate, and aromatic fractions. The acid, base, and neutral nitrogen fractions were further separated by adsorption, gel-permeation, and thin-layer chromatography to give concentrates that were amenable to detailed characterization of the compound types present in each fraction. Analytical data obtained from the separation and characterization of the distillates gives important information about their compound-type composition.
