Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Egyptian Petroleum Condensate Oils

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in Egyptian condensates are analyzed for the first. A solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by gas chromatography-mass selective detection was used for their analysis. The method was calibrated for optimal extraction conditions. Excellent recoveries were found (78–114%) for the PAHs that were identified using a variety of standards and GC-MS spectra. The solid-phase extracted PAH fraction was further separated by HPLC on a Ag(I) mercaptopropanosilica gel to reduce the complexity of the sample by separating the PAHs based on the number of aromatic rings. The analytes were quantified using GC with a flame ionization detector. For this kind of sample SPE is a more convenient separation technique than an open column. PAHs containing two to four rings in the concentration range 0.6–11 μg/L were measured. Some preliminary geochemical hypotheses based on the analyzed PAHs and the previously analyzed S-containing aromatic compounds were formed as to the depositional environment and source rock type.
