Abstract
The study of petroleum is usually based on the use of a set of mass spectrometric methods, which require the development of approaches for complete interpretation of such huge composite data. This chapter presents the potential of applying the combined chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques. Work in the development and practical application of mass spectrometry (MS) for the analysis and comprehensive study of crude oils is continuously progressing. The chapter discusses some common aspects of such an application of MS in a number of reviews. Chromatography is one of the most powerful analytical tools dealing with complex mixtures such as crude oils or oil fractions. The prevalent chromatographic method for petroleum and oil fractions separation is gas chromatography combined with different detectors depending on the task; however, high-performance liquid chromatography is also used. The chapter discusses the most common applications of these chromatographic methods to crude oil and fraction analysis.
