Description
Summary:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), apart from their carcinogenic and mutagenic nature, create many problems in the petrochemical industry due to their tendency toward carbonization. Compounds in C8 aromatic isomer feed are analyzed by means of sample concentration, followed by separation of individual compounds by gas chromatography on a stainless steel OV-101 phase capillary column and identification by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Various compounds belonging to different classes (mainly monocyclic, dicyclic, and tricyclic aromatics), oxygenated aromatics, and aliphatic saturates are quantified in the concentrated hydrocarbon residue of C8 isomer feed. Both unsubstituted and alkyl substituted ring type compounds are present. Concentrations obtained for PAH compounds in the C8 isomer feed range from 0.2 to 0.42 micrograms/mL.
