    Determination of naphthenic acids in crude oils using nonaqueous ion exchange solid-phase

    , Analytical Chemistry, Vol: 73, Pages: 703-707, ISSN: 0003-2700

    A method is presented for the routine, rapid, and quantitative analysis of aliphatic and naphthenic acids in crude oils, based on their isolation using nonaqueous ion exchange solid-phase extraction cartridges. The isolated acid fractions are methylated and analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The method is effective on both light and heavy oils and is capable of providing mechanistic information of geochemical significance on the origin of the acids in the oils. Analysis of oils that were solvent extracted from laboratory and field mesocosm marine sediment oil degradation studies indicate that this new method of analyzing the products of hydrocarbon biodegradation may be a useful tool for monitoring the progress of bioremediation of oil spills in the environment.

    The Preservation of English Oak in Marine Environments

    <jats:p>&lt;p&gt;This study compares the chemical integrity of English Oak (Quercus robur) samples with an age range of four centuries by analysing the lignin degradation.The samples were collected from four historic British vessels and thusrepresent samples of diverse ages which have nonetheless experienced similar non-arborealenvironments. We conclude that the Mary Rose, the oldest vessel studied and therecipient of the most intensive conservation efforts, has been well-preserved throughtreatment with PEG, and we present a baseline for assessing whether a ship hasbeen biologically degraded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The work combines quantitative analytic chemistry techniques (e.g., THM-GC-MS) with the conservation of large historic artifacts.&lt;/p&gt;</jats:p>
