Abstract

The constituents of the neutral aromatic polar subfractions of two coal-derived oils, a shale-derived oil and a petroleum oil were analysed and compared. Chemical ionization mass spectra, using methanol and ammonia as reagent gases, were used to characterize the oxygen-and nitrogen-containing constituents, respectively. The compositions of the petroleum substitutes were found to differ from those of petroleum in containing primary polycyclic aromatic amines, azaarenes, polycyclic hydroxyaromatics and, in one case, aromatic ketones.
