The Contributions of Cyrus Moors Warren to the Analysis of Hydrocarbons
نویسنده
چکیده
Saturday, August 27, 1859 was a day that profoundly changed the world, for on that afternoon in the small town of Titusville, Pennsylvania, the first well drilled specifically to produce liquid oil came in. Petroleum offered a simpler and cheaper way to produce kerosene than the method of that time, which involved the destructive distillation of certain types of coal (1 ). Kerosene, introduced in the early 1850s, had revolutionized industrial societies by offering a source of light that allowed for a longer working day. Even the humblest homes could be lighted in a way that was previously unavailable.

متن کاملA Multi-Metric Index for Hydrocarbons Source Apportionment
Several studies have been conducted to develop more accurate and precise indices for hydrocarbons source apportionment. The present study, however, develops a new multi-metric index for hydrocarbons source apportionment. It measures Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) concentration at six stations with well known petrogenic origin, calculating Phe/An, Flu/Py, Chr/BaA, BaA/Chr, An/(An+Ph), Flu/(Fl...
