Abstract:
Elemental analysis of crude oils, refined fractions, and fuels is essential to assessing their value, performance, evaluating the efficiency of the refining process, validating the concentration of additives, and judging the wear properties of mechanical devices. ICP-OES has enjoyed widespread use for elemental analysis of oils and fuels. We will discuss methods for oils and fuels by ICP-OES and their importance. Additionally, we will demonstrate the applicability of ICP instrumentation to these methods as well as associated sample introduction components necessary for analysis. Special attention will be paid to the sample introduction components, the selection of which is critical.
