Because of the increasing importance of heavy and unconventional crude oil as an energy
source, there is a growing need for petroleomics: the pursuit of more complete and detailed …

Chemical characterization of petroleum is a challenging task due to its inherently complex
nature. For example, crude oil is believed to have as many or more compounds than the …

Recent developments in atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI), which is one of the
three most important ionization techniques in liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry, are …

Modern industry strongly relies on the molecular analysis of fossil petroleum and petroleum-
derived materials. In the context of a circular economy and carbon neutrality, the chemical …

Because of its high molecular complexity, ultra high-resolution Fourier transform ion
cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) is used to characterize heavy …

The review discusses the achievements of the last 5 years in the field of using mass
spectrometry for the analysis of crude oils and some oil refining products. The presented …

Mass spectrometry is widely used in studying the structures of compounds present in crude
oil. In this study, a novel mass spectrometer incorporating a cyclic ion mobility separator was …

For the first time, trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) in tandem with Fourier transform
ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) is applied to the analysis of the low …

In the present work, a novel workflow based on complementary gas-phase separations for
the identification of isomeric PAHs from complex mixtures is described. This is the first report …

Although naphthenic acids are minor constituents in petroleum, their characterization is
crucial because they are geochemically important tracers and play a key role in corrosion …
