Solubility of Dagang vacuum residue and molecular composition of the soluble fractions in different solvents

Dagang vacuum residue (DVR) was ultrasonically extracted with fifteen organic solvents, respectively, and the soluble fractions (SFs) were analyzed with GC/MS. The results show that DVR tends to dissolve in non-polar solvent and that most of GC/MS-detectable components in the SFs are saturated hydrocarbons.
