Abstract:
The characteristic of
n-alkane distributions of 8 kinds of marine fuel, 8 kinds of Middle East crude oil and 13 kinds of non-Middle East crude oil were analyzed by GC-FID.The diagnostic ratios with the geochemical significance and the strong anti-weathering such as
n-C
17/Pr,
n-C
18/Ph, Pr/Ph,
LMW/
HMW,
CPI and (
n-C
19+
n-C
20)/(
n-C
19~
n-C
22) were used as modeling parameters, Fisher discriminant of these 29 kinds of oils were performed.Since
n-C
17/Pr and
n-C
18/Ph were collinear and
n-C
17/Pr of marine fuel had obviously changes during weathering,
n-C
17/Pr cannot be used as a modeling parameter.The Wilks's lambda distribution of modeling corresponded to
P value of 0, which indicated the discriminant model was valid, and the identification accuracy of model was 93.1%.The identification accuracy of oils after short-term weathering for 30 days could also reach 93.1%, this meant that the established model was also applicable to identification of weathered oil spills.
