Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons kerosene

Hydrocarbon Microbiology biodegradation mechanisms of oil products (gasoline, kerosene, diesel, etc.), pyrolysis, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, and ether fuels refining processes (e.g., oil product microbial desulfurization) and oil production processes (e.g., bacterial corrosion). 

Rodgers et al. [85] identified soil surface-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through the use of real-time aerosol mass spectrometry in two NIST standard research material soils (Montana SRM 2710 and Peruvian SRM 4355), each contaminated separately with three common petroleum hydrocarbons (diesel fuel, gasoline and kerosene). This method required no sample preparation. Direct laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometric analysis of individual soil particles contaminated with each of the petroleum hydrocarbons at three different contamination levels (0.8,8, and 80 ppth (wt/wt)) yielded detectable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon cation distributions that ranged from m/z 128 to 234, depending on the fuel contaminant. The same analysis...
