Disentangling oil weathering using GCxGC. 1. Chromatogram analysis

Jeremy Samuel Arey

Historically, the thousands of compounds found in oils constituted an “unresolved complex mixture” that frustrated efforts to analyze oil weathering. Moreover, different weathering processes inflict rich and diverse signatures of compositional change in oi ...
