“…Many different analytical techniques have been used for the analysis of crude oil such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13 Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 14 liquid/gas chromatography (LC/GC) 15 , and mass spectrometry (MS). 16,17 The advanced MS is one of the most informative methods for the analysis of multicomponent mixtures which makes it indispensable in the investigation of the composition of samples. 18 It has been already reported that the success of MS depends on converting compounds into gas-phase ions.…”

The current state-of-the-art in analysis techniques for petroleum fractions has progressed substantially during the last decade. This has helped to further improve the lumping procedures and modeling approaches of these complex systems. Recent advances in gas chromatography (GC), GC-field ionization mass spectrometry (GC-FIMS), and comprehensive gas chromatography (GC × GC) have made it possible to determine the compositions of fractions with up to 45 carbon atoms and in some cases up to C80. The combination of MS techniques with other selective detectors and reversed-phase column combinations has made it possible to quantify even traces of heteroatomic compounds in these complex hydrocarbon matrices. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS), in some cases combined with GC × GC for the lighter part, has pushed the characterization of larger macromolecules in particular asphaltenes. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is also used widely for this purpose but has the disadvantage that quantification is not obvious. The development of more detailed characterization techniques has not remained unnoticed in the petrochemical society, and more recently in the petrochemical kinetic modeling society. More detailed characterization of petrochemical fractions has made the implementation of detailed kinetic models for simulation and optimization possible including more and more molecular detail. Additionally, advances in photo-ionization mass spectrometry (PI-MS) have allowed the detection of reactive intermediates and direct kinetic measurements in time-resolved experiments. It can only be expected that this trend will continue and that the application field will move from now primarily petrochemistry, (from catalytic cracking, over hydrotreating and hydrocracking, to pyrolysis, combustion, and steam cracking) to larger-scale chemical recycling and biomass conversion processes.
