Abstract

The use of nitrous oxide–acetylene flame atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of vanadium in burned and unburned Venezuelan crude oil was demonstrated. Results from laboratory controlled experiments suggest that if the temperature typically obtained in the burning of oil as a form of re-mediation (∼1000 °C), then vanadium will not be removed from burning crude oil. This was found to be the case in an open container, on the surface of water, and on the surface of a fixed size sandy soil.
