Year: 2000 Language: english Author: REMPEC Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 146 Description: In the terminology used in the field of marine pollution response the word "oil" is used for both crude oils and any refined products obtained by its distillation. "Oil" thus encompasses various mixtures of chemical compounds consisting mainly of carbon and hydrogen, which chemists call "hydrocarbons", although some other organic and inorganic compounds that are not hydrocarbons also form part of crude oils and petroleum derivatives. Percentages (in weight) of carbon and hydrogen respectively in different crude oils produced in the world, vary between 83 to 87% for carbon and between 11 and 14% for hydrogen. The amounts of other elements are minor, except for sulphur which can reach up to 8% (Iraq). The total number of chemical individualities in a crude oil ranges between 105 and 106 and most of them are found in heavy fractions. It cannot be expected to have a detailed and precise knowledge of each component of a certain crude oil or refined product.
