| Abstract: | Two crude oil samples collected from Paniro and Tangri (Sindh) southern Pakistan. The distillate fractions of both crude oil samples were analysed by U.V‐visible spectrophotometer and column chromatography for hydrocarbon group types. It was found from the physico‐chemical study of these crude oils that Tangri crude oil contains mostly paraffinic contents while Paniro crude oil samples are rich in aromatics. It was concluded from all the experiments that Tangri crude oil is paraffinic in nature; while Paniro crude oil is naphthenic in nature, further it was observed that Tangri crude oil processing would be environmentally friendly compared to Paniro crude oil, because Paniro crude contains a high amount of polyaromatics. |
