Popis: | It is extremely difficult to match light oils to their sources after environmental weathering. A new accelerated laboratory weathering procedure, combined with either log-ratio or vector pattern recognition, gives markedly improved identification of spilled light fuel oils by infrared spectroscopy. The technique can be used with small samples of light oils using thin films that have been dried under an ultraviolet light. Advantages of the accelerated laboratory weathering procedure are discussed. 3 diagrams, 3 graphs, 6 references, 6 tables. |
