Evaporation and photochemical effects on asphaltene profiling of heavy fuel oil
  • Description

    This data set contains GC-MS, FTIR and Pyrolysis GC-MS data on the asphaltene fraction of a heavy fuel oil. This includes fresh heavy fuel oil (unweathered heavy fuel oil) and weathered heavy fuel oil, where the weathering effects were evaporation and photo-oxidation. The data set includes heavy fuel oil that was exposed to evaporation and photo-oxidation combined (treatment samples) and also heavy fuel oil that was exposed to evaporation but not photo-oxidation (control samples). The data exploration is self-explanatory from the files provided. The data is available only for information purposes and is not licenced for reuse.

    The FTIR data was obtained using the methods described in Brenden J. Riley, Chris Lennard, Stephen Fuller & Val Spikmans (2016): An FTIR method for the analysis of crude and heavy fuel oil asphaltenes to assist in oil fingerprinting, Forensic Science International, Vol. 266, pp. 555-564, http://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2016.07.018

    The pyrolysis GC-MS data was obtained using the methods described in Brenden J. Riley, Chris Lennard, Stephen Fuller & Val Spikmans (2017): Pyrolysis-GC-MS analysis of crude and heavy fuel oil asphaltenes for application in oil fingerprinting, Environmental Forensics, Vol. 19, No 1, pp. 14-26, http://doi.org/10.1080/15275922.2017.1408163

    The GC-MS data was obtained using the methods described in European Committee for Standardization (CEN). 2012. Oil spill identification - waterborne petroleum and petroleum products - Part 2: analytical methodology and interpretation of results based on GC-FID and GC-MS low resolution analyses. Brussels, Belgium, no. CEN/TR 15522-2: 2012.
