abstract

  • An integrated chromatographic technique for petroleum analysis compatible with long-term studies of oil spills is presented. Dynamic headspace sampling and the complementary analytical techniques of gas chromatography and coupled-column liquid chromatography are utilized for quantitation of petroleum containing samples. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is employed for identification of individual components in these samples. Analytical data obtained from a major oil spill are presented and discussed. © 1976, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
