THE COMBINATION OF HYDROPHILIC INTERACTION LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY AND ION MOBILITY MASS SPECTROMETRY FOR DIESEL FUEL ANALYSIS

摘要

The characterization of trace polar species in fuels is important due to their influence on the fuel's physical properties, which has given rise to the field of petroleomics [1]. Due to the complex nature of diesel and other crude-derived fuels its chemical composition is often investigated by considering classes of compounds rather than individual chemical species [2,3,4].
