Analysis of crude petroleum oils using fluorescence spectroscopy.
(Springer, 2005)Crude oil is defined as a mixture of hydrocarbons that existed in the liquid phase in natural underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities (joint ... -
Fluorescence emission from petroleum; a valuable information source for petroleum analysis.
(EniTecnologie, 2004)Despite the fact that most crude oils are dark coloured liquids, many are observed to be strongly fluorescent when illuminated with UV light. This fluorescence, which originates from the presence of aromatic compounds, is ... -
Frequency domain fluorescence lifetime study of crude petroleum oils
(Springer Verlag, 2008-02-01)Frequency domain (FD) fluorescence lifetime data was collected for a series of 20 crude petroleum oils using a 405 nm excitation source and over a spectral range of similar to 426 to similar to 650 nm. Average fluorescence ... -
Influence of chemical composition on the fluorescence lifetimes of crude petroleum oils
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2003)Fluorescence based methods are increasingly being used for the analysis of crude oils because they offer high speed, low cost, non-contact, and non-destructive testing options. The fluorescence of crude oils is due to the ... -
Low Temperature Fluorescence Studies of Crude Petroleum Oils
(2011)We have studied the low-temperature (133-298 K) fluorescence emission of crude petroleum oils using a combination of steady-state and time-resolved measurements. This was done, first, to see if we could generate linear ...
