Abstract
These fluorescence rejection methods were applied to two groups of Syncrude Sweet Blend distillation fractions. For light gas oils (boiling range, 195-343 °C) the ratio of monocyclic and bicyclic aromatic species was determined and bands due to aliphatic CHn groups were characterized. Heavy gas oils (343-524 °C) yielded bands that allowed quantitation of monocyclic, bicyclic and total aromatic groups. Bands due to aliphatics were also identified for the heavy gas oils. These results constitute a significant advance compared to the information obtainable using conventional dispersive and FT-Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of hydrocarbon distillation fractions.
