The fluorescence features of seawater with dissolved crude oil components during continuous 13 day mixing of water and oil are considered. Four specific fluorescence peaks are identified. Two of them are connected with polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and two other peaks, with high molecular organic com pounds. It is shown that the fluorescence spectrum of dissolved components of crude oil is not constant. Spectral features suitable for identification of dissolved crude oil in seawater are distinguished.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
