Identification of structures of nitrogen-containing compounds in crude oils in conjunction with chemometric resolution

A universal method was established for the systematically structural identification of nitrogen-containing compounds in crude oils. Pre-fractionation of the non-hydrocarbons in a crude oil sample into 7 fractions was performed by di-adsorption column chromatography using neutral aluminum oxide and silica gel; subsequent high-resolution separation of individual components was achieved by using capillary column gas chromatography, and compound types were detected by mass spectrometer. The two-dimensional data from the compounds in the fractions were further resolved by a chemometric method to obtained the deconvoluted chromatogram and mass spectrum of every compound, and then, the nitrogen-containing compounds were identified in combination with the retention indices. This method could relieve the difficulty of classical analysis in identifying those species with very low contents or incompletely separation, particularly in the cases where the authentic standards were not available for addition into the unknown samples in order to reveal what indeed existed in them. The structures of 168 nitrogen-containing compounds in a crude oil sample were determined by this method with satisfactory results.     

Analysis of coal tar and petroleum pitches by computerized pattern recognition

Pyrolysis gas chromatography (P/GC) has been successful in differentiating coal tar pitches which are used in the manufacture of high temperature graphite materials [1,2]. In the present study, coal tar and petroleum pitches received from five suppliers were readily differentiated using three distinct methods of polymer analysis: dynamic headspace and pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (DH/GC/MS and P/GC/MS, [3]), and pyrolysis mass spectrometry (P/MS, [4,5]). All of these methods are appropriate for the analysis and pattern recognition study of coal and petroleum products; however, methods which incorporate GC usually necessitate long analysis times and are subject to problems associated with gas chromatographic reproducibility (e.g. active sites [6], and nonconstant retention times). As a fingerprint analysis method, P/MS is rapid and ideally suited to computerized pattern recognition study of pitches due to the simple format of P/MS data (computer tabulation of normalized intensities versus masses); whereas, in the present study, the normalized peak area versus retention time date from DH/GC/MS and P/GC/MS analyses were not suitable for direct input to a computerized pattern recognition analysis program, (due to non-constant retention times and improper data format). One limitation is that P/MS does not provide positive identification of thermally evolved products (as can DH/GC/MS and P/GC/MS) due to the complexity of the spectra of a mixture of compounds produced by P/MS. Within the limits of the commercial instrumentation and computer programs used in this study, a combination of all three techniques provided the greatest capability for the differentiation of the five coal tar and petroleum based pitches studied.     

Determination of retention indices in constant inlet pressure mode and conversion among different column temperature conditions in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography

A method to determine the second dimensional real retention time, dead times on both dimensions and retention indices in constant inlet pressure mode was developed in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography. At the same time, the conversion of GC x GC retention indices among different column temperature conditions were also conducted based on some thermodynamics parameters. The calculation accuracies are better than 1.0 retention index unit. Furthermore, a retention index database was developed and used to identify the compounds in a cigarette essential oil sample. It showed that identification by the database was of close agreement with by time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and some isomers could also be distinguished based on the retention index database.

Analysis of the chemical composition of the essential oil of Polygonum minus Huds. using two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF MS)

The essential oil in leaves of Polygonum minus Huds., a local aromatic plant, were identified by a pipeline of gas chromatography (GC) techniques coupled with mass-spectrometry (MS), flame ionization detector (FID) and two dimensional gas chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry (GC x GC-TOF MS). A total of 48 compounds with a good match and high probability values were identified using this technique. Meanwhile, 42 compounds were successfully identified in this study using GC-MS, a significantly larger number than in previous studies. GC-FID was used in determining the retention indices of chemical components in P. minus essential oil. The result also showed the efficiency and reliability were greatly improved when chemometric methods and retention indices were used in identification and quantification of chemical components in plant essential oil.     

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Formation from Fuel and Additives Combustion

A study has been made of the effect of additives to the fuel of a turbulent diffusion flame on the formation of soot and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Fuels containing a polystyrene thickener doped with benzene proved to have many advantages over unthickened fuels. Most significant were an increase in the burning time and the flash point. Nevertheless, polystyrene and benzene additives to a considerable extent increased the formation of soot and PAHs. The analysis of PAHs in this study was made by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). A total of 42 individual compounds were characterized by their retention indices and mass spectra.

Seasonal Variations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Air Particulate Extracts

Aroma-active volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in brandies produced in the Slovak Republic have been identified by gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC–O) and GC–MS. GC–O data treatment was based on a concept of detection frequency. Direct injection of samples was used due to its simplicity and the fact that determined composition is that of the original samples. This is especially important for correlation of results obtained by sensory evaluation and gas chromatographic measurements. Among 200 organic compounds found by GC only 71 showed olfactive properties at the given concentration levels. In order to identify aroma-active substances, linear retention indices (LRI) have been calculated and compared with available LRI libraries. The most aroma-active compounds have been found in samples of Frucon brandy, while Vinovica showed their minimal content. The results obtained by gas chromatography have been compared with sensory evaluation of brandy odor.     

Cyclam complexes of Cu(II) and Co(II) as stationary phases for gas chromatography

New macrocyclic stationary chemically bonded phases were synthesized and tested in gas chromatography conditions. The complexes of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane with Cu(II) and Co(II) were bonded to the silica support through the (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane reactant. The packings obtained were analyzed by diffuse-reflectance ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (DRUV–Vis), differential thermal gravimetry (DTG), porosimetry, and elementary analysis. Preliminary study of the novel silica gas chromatography (GC) stationary phases containing cyclam complexes was carried out using packed 1/8 in. i.d. columns. The study was conducted on: cyclic, linear and branched olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons and ethers. Characterization of interactions between the compounds mentioned and new stationary phases was based upon analysis of Kováts retention indices (I), difference between retention indices for two phases (ΔI), and molecular retention indices (ΔM_e). Results have shown that the new stationary phases interact sufficiently strongly with molecules of high electron density and can be applied in capillary gas chromatography for the analysis of light hydrocarbons.     

Isolation and Characterization of Sulfur-Containing Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (Thia-Arenes) from Complex Environmental Mixtures

Abstract

A multi-dimensional chromatographic method was developed and applied to the separation of thia-arenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) derived from coal tar. A thia-arene-rich fraction, prepared using a combination of alumina chromatography and palladium chloride/silica gel chromatography, was further separated using normal phase HPLC to isolate fractions containing thia-arenes with molecular masses ranging from 184 amu to 284 amu. These fractions were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; approximately one-half of the thia-arenes in a coal tar extract were retained and separated by the palladium chloride-silica gel step. This methodology has been successfully applied to coal tar, air particulate material, sediments and biological samples.

Tracking juniper berry content in oils and distillates by spectral deconvolution of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry data

The complex nature of botanicals and essential oils makes it difficult to identify all of the constituents by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) alone. In this paper, automated sequential, multidimensional gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-GC/MS) was used to obtain a matrix-specific, retention time/mass spectrometry library of 190 juniper berry oil compounds. GC/MS analysis on stationary phases with different polarities confirmed the identities of each compound when spectral deconvolution software was used to analyze the oil. Also analyzed were distillates of juniper berry and its oil as well as gin from four different manufacturers. Findings showed the chemical content of juniper berry can be traced from starting material to final product and can be used to authenticate and differentiate brands.     

Capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of aza-arenes isolated from crude coal tar

Determination of mono- to tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in lubricating oil

Liquid – liquid extraction with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, combined with solid-phase extraction on silica gel using n-pentane and dichloromethane as solvents, has been used for the isolation and concentration of the aromatic fraction from lubricating oil. The identification of individual compounds in this aromatic fraction was performed by capillary gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (CGC-MS) and by determination of retention indices. Quantitative results were obtained by flame ionization detection (CGC-FID). Eighty four compounds, predominantly naphthalenes, phenanthrenes, biphenyls, fluorenes, dibenzo-thiophenes, and their alkylated derivatives, have been identified in a commercial lubricating oil. The total amount of the aromatic fraction did not exceed 0.04 % of the oil.     

Detailed analysis and group-type separation of natural fats and oils using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography

Comprehensive gas chromatography (GC x GC) is an adequate methodology for the separation and identification of very complex samples. It is based on the coupling of two capillary columns that each give a different but substantial contribution to the unprecedented resolving power of this technique. The 2D space chromatograms that derive from GC x GC analysis have great potential for identification. This is due to the fact that the contour plot positions, pinpointed by two retention time coordinates, give characteristic patterns for specific families of compounds that can be mathematically translated. This investigation concerned the application of this principle to fatty acid methyl esters that were grouped on an equal double bond number basis. The ester samples were derived from various lipids and all underwent bidimensional analysis on two sets of columns. Peak attribution was supported by mass spectra, linear retention indices and information reported in the literature.     

Identification of some polycyclic nitrogen-containing compounds in coal-derived oil

A systematic method for the identification of aza-arenes in coal-derived oil was developed. The basic nitrogen-containing substances were extracted with 6 M hydrochloric acid and fractionated sequentially by using gel chromatography and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on an alumina plate. The aza-arenes in these fractions were separated by using glass capillary gas chromatography. Individual compounds in the column effluent were trapped in a system consisting of a valve for flow switching and a trapping tube made from a glass capillary. The fluorescence spectra of nanogram to subnanogram amounts of trapped compounds were measured. Some attempts were made to identify components based on their TLC RF values and their fluorescence spectra, in addition to their mass spectra.     

Application of comprehensive multidimensional gas chromatography combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC x GC-TOFMS) for high resolution analysis of hop essential oil

The selection and quality of hops is a major determinant in beer flavour. Brewers acknowledge that distinctive characteristics of different hop varieties can be traced to the composition of their essential oils. The difficulty in characterising complex mixtures such as hop oil using 1-D chromatography is that many compounds co-elute. With the introduction of comprehensive multidimensional capillary gas chromatography (GC x GC), there is a tremendous improvement in the separation power or peak capacity. Recent work using GC x GC with flame ionisation detection has suggested that there may be over 1,000 compounds in hop oil. This work describes the use of GC x GC combined with TOFMS detection (Leco Pegasus 4D instrument) to analyse Target hop oil. The TOFMS spectral acquisition rate of 60 Hz provided sufficient spectra per peak (2-D peak base width of 0.1-0.2 s) for identification (119 components were identified with 45 previously unreported compounds). When analysing results, an advantage of GC x GC coupled to TOFMS is that 2-D chromatograms can be viewed for individual masses that are characteristic of particular functional groups. This allows the analyst to view the various homologous series of compounds although in certain cases coelution may still be present as shown by the esters with mass 75.
