New diagnostic ratios based on phenanthrenes and anthracenes for effective distinguishing heavy fuel oils from crude oils

Abstract: The heavy fuel oils (HFOs) and crude oils are the main oil types in the marine oil spill accidents in China. It is usually a challenge to distinguish the HFOs from crude oils due to the highly similar physicochemical characteristics. In this paper, the distributions of phenanthrene (Phe), anthracene (Ant), methyl-phenanthrene (MP) and methyl-anthracene (MA) in hundreds of HFOs and crude oils samples which were collected from all over the world were characterized. Nine new diagnostic indexes, such as Ant/(Ant +… Show more

“…Figure S9.Methyl anthracene / Methyl phenanthrene ratios in dissolved samples. Diagnostic ratios in the dissolved water samples pointing a separation of heavy fuels oil versus crude oil as proposed byZhang et al 2016. According to this study ratios below 0.1 in both axes belong to crude oil, while over that value correspond to heavy fuels.…”
