چکیده

Cromatografia gasosa bidimensional abrangente acoplada à espectrometria de massas por tempo de voo (GC×GC-TOFMS) é uma técnica apropriada para a elucidação da composição molecular de amostras petroquímicas, como óleos biodegradados. Biomarcadores foram separados, identificados e razões de biomarcadores convencionais foram determinados usando cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas (GC-MS) e GC×GC-TOFMS. No cromatograma de íons extraídos m/z 123 + 177 + 191, coeluições entre terpanos tricíclicos, hopanos e 25-nor-hopanos com secohopanos foram resolvidas usando GC×GC-TOFMS. GC×GC-TOFMS permitiu a identificação da série completa dos 25-nor-hopanos, nor-gamacerano, C29 28-nor-espergulano e oleanano, que não foram identificados por GC-MS. A avaliação dos parâmetros geoquímicos dos óleos estudados indicou uma origem marinha e um ambiente deposicional sob condições anóxicas. A alta resolução cromatográfica e sensibilidade alcançada usando GC×GC-TOFMS permitiram sugerir três novos parâmetros geoquímicos para a caracterização de óleos altamente biodegradados. Estes resultados demonstram a superioridade da técnica GC×GC-TOFMS na separação e identificação de compostos individuais e não-alvos em óleos severamente biodegradados.

Improvement of ylang-ylang essential oil characterization by GC×GC-TOFMS.

A single fraction of essential oil can often contain hundreds of compounds. Despite of the technical improvements and the enhanced selectivity currently offered by the state-of-the-art gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, the complexity of essential oils is frequently underestimated. Comprehensive two-dimensional GC coupled to time-of-flight MS (GC×GC-TOFMS) was used ...

Diamondoid Characterization in Condensate by Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography with Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry: The Junggar Basin of Northwest China

Diamondoids in crude oil are useful for assessing the maturity of oil in high maturation. However, they are very difficult to separate and accurately quantify by conventional geochemical methods due to their low abundance in oil. In this paper, we use comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS) to study the compounds in condensates from t...
