In a tense energetic context, the characterization of heavy petroleum fractions becomes essential. Conventional comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (2D-GC or GCxGC) is widely used for middle distillates analysis, but only a few applications are devoted to these heavier fractions. In this paper, it is shown how the optimization of GCxGC separation allowed the determination of suitable high-temperature (HT) conditions, adjusting column properties and operating conditions. 2D separations were evaluated using 2D separation criteria and a new concept of 2D asymmetry (As(2D)). New HT conditions allowed the extension of GCxGC range of applications to heavier hydrocarbons, up to nC(60). A first application of high-temperature two-dimensional gas chromatography (HT-2D-GC) to a full vacuum gas oil (VGO) feed stock is described. Comparisons with other standardized methods illustrate the high potential of HT-2D-GC for heavy fractions analysis.
在紧张的能源背景下,重质石油馏分的表征变得至关重要。传统的全二维气相色谱法(2D-GC或GCxGC)广泛用于中间馏分的分析,但仅有少数应用针对这些较重的馏分。本文展示了如何通过优化GCxGC分离来确定合适的高温(HT)条件、调整色谱柱性能和操作条件。使用二维分离标准和二维不对称性(As(2D))的新概念对二维分离进行了评估。新的高温条件使GCxGC的应用范围扩展到了更重的烃类,直至nC(60)。描述了高温全二维气相色谱法(HT-2D-GC)在全减压瓦斯油(VGO)原料上的首次应用。与其他标准化方法的比较表明了HT-2D-GC在重质馏分分析方面的巨大潜力。
