Abstract

A simple, effective, and inexpensive thinlayer chromatography interfaced with flame ionization detector (TLC-FID) method is a major tool for quantitative analysiss of heavy hydrocarbon compositions, especially for asphalt composition. This destructive method is not only faster than ASTM D4124 or SARA, but also quicker than preparative Chromatotron since there is no need to spend time for evaporation of solvent. The results will be complemented by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) for special identification of asphalt. This method can be applied in practice for separation of chemical substances especially in medicine and biology, lipid chemistry and the characterization of crude oil.
