The acid class(heteroatom number), type(z numbers) and carbon number distributions were positively characterized. It was found out that the total acid number(TAN) of SL crude decreased after true boiling point distillation, and the abundance of O2 class in mass spectra was also found to be reduced from 67.6% to 34.5% in SL TBP mixed crude as measured by MS spectra, indicating to a potential carboxylic acid decomposition. However, it was interesting that the carboxylic acids type distribution in both oils was almost the same although their relative abundance in SL TBP mixed crude turned to be much lower, suggesting that various petroleum carboxylic acid types have the similar thermal decomposition reaction behavior. Furthermore, for each O2 type of acids in SL TBP mixed crude, the abundance of carboxylic acids with carbon number higher than 35 was reduced greatly, especially for those with carbon number higher than 60, the mass peaks of which were nearly totally removed, indicating that the large carboxylic acid molecules in heavy fractions decomposed more significantly because of longer heating time during the true boiling point distillation process. As a result, the reduction of TAN may be caused by the thermal decomposition of carboxylic acids especially those with high carbon number, suggesting that quick distillation or much lower pressure is required to avoid the thermal decomposition.展开更多

In this study, the atmospheric residue derived from Arabian heavy crude and its hydrotreated products were initially subjected to distillation and SARA fractionation. The saturates were characterized by GC FI/FD TOF MS. The aromatics and resins were characterized by APPI FT-ICR MS. Compositional changes of different compounds (paraffins, naphthenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and heteroatomic compounds) contained in different distillates (vacuum gas oil, vacuum residue) were obtained. More detailed knowledge about the hydrotreating process was achieved.展开更多

The crude oil and its corresponding esterified oil were characterized by the negative-ion electrospray ionization(ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry(FT-ICR MS). Six acidic class species, O_2, O_1, N_1, N_2, N_1O_1 and N_1O_2 were assigned in the negative-ion spectrum both in the crude oil and its esterified oil. Among the identified acidic compounds, the O2 class was dominant. The relative abundance of O_2 class species was much higher than other acidic class species in crude oil, while it was significantly decreased after esterification. The most abundant O_2 class species had a carbon number of 30-34 and a double-bond equivalence(DBE) value of 5 before and after esterification. It could be concluded that the naphthenic acids in crude oil can be esterified to lower its TAN value, and each of them seems to exhibit identical esterification efficiency approximately due to the similar DBE versus the-carbon number distribution before and after esterification.展开更多

Osteopontin（OPN） plays a distinct role during the processes of lactation, Some studies on OPN isolated and purified from the human milk via HPLC on SCX and Ca columns adopted biological mass spectrometry. After digesting the purified OPN sample with trypsin, the typical correlative polypeptide fragments GDSVVYGLR and QNLLAPQTLPSK are identified by FT-ICR-MS. The rapid identification of OPN is assumed to be reasonably well behaving in a standard bottom-up experiment. It shows that nano-spray HPLC combined with FT-ICR-MS and Mascot search can be used as a high efficient method for the identification of purified OPN and its polypeptide fragments.
