Abstract

This research included determination of chemical composition of al-ahdaab crude oil (kute- Iraq) using liquid – solid chromatography method. The current study involved separation the components of crude oil by column chromatography was packing with alumina (AL2O3) as a stationary–phases and several solvent as a mobile phase. The results of crude oil fractionations were 17.01% Asphaltene, 82.99% Maltene, which separated to Paraffinic (saturated) 44.11%, Aromatic 30.11% and Resin 4.20%. Crude oil fractionations were characterized using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 1HNMR and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer FT-IR to determine the chemical composition of each part, which is that represents the first study and novel results. This study also clarified the paraffinic compounds are the main part of materials in the crude oil composition.
