24 fractions were obtained from 3 kinds of (Sumatra Light, Duri and Tia Juana) crude oils by distillation below 250°C under N
2 atmosphere. Their NMR and IR spectra were obtained, and the relations with the structural parameters by n-d-M method (aromatic (C
A), paraffinic (C
p) and naphthenic (C
N) carbon %) were investigated.
The relations obtained are as follows:
C
p%=2.23 AR (I) +111.08
C
A%=2.59 AR (IV) +3.78
C
N%=100-(C
P%+C
A%)
, where AR (I) and AR (IV) are area %'s of chemical shift ranges (0-1.08) δ and (5-10) δ of NMR spectra, respectively.
Employing these relations, structural changes with extractions by several reagents were investigated.
A signif cant amount of paraffinic hydrocarbons were found to be considerably removed by urea and thiourea adduction.
These results were also confirmed by investigating the weight change in hydroca-bons with urea extraction.
