Use of Chemometric Methods of Data Analysis for the Identification and Typification of Petroleum and Petroleum Products

Abstract

A method for identifying straits of rocket kerosene (RG-1 and T-1 brands) and various types of hydrocarbon fuels (aviation fuel TC-1 and diesel fuel) in soil has been developed. The proposed version of identification is based on the preliminary separation of the main components by gas chromatography and their mass spectrometric detection followed by the processing of the data obtained by chemometric methods of analysis (principal component analysis and projection on latent structures with discriminant analysis) using the “MZmineZ,” “iMet-Q,” and “MetaboAnalyst” software. A possibility of the application of the developed approach to the typification of saturated oil fractions of different origin is illustrated.
