Simultaneous Determination of Trace Metals in Saudi Arabian Crude Oil Products by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (Icp/Ms)

Abstract

The inductively coupled plasma in combination with a mass spectrometer (ICP/MS) has been used for the determination of metals in different Saudi Arabian crude oils (Arab Berri, Arab heavy, Arab medium and Arab light). A previously investigated extraction method has been applied in the determination of metals in oil to the sub ppm level.
