Infrared spectra of petroleum weathered naturally and under simulated conditions

The feasibility of weathering petroleum in confined areas and under simulated conditions is explored. Infrared spectra of oils weathered in different systems are compared with each other and with unweathered oils using a computer ratio method. Oils weathered in three systems to the same extent as oi...

Description
Summary:The feasibility of weathering petroleum in confined areas and under simulated conditions is explored. Infrared spectra of oils weathered in different systems are compared with each other and with unweathered oils using a computer ratio method. Oils weathered in three systems to the same extent as oil taken from an actual oil spill.
