Journal ArticleDOI
Resolving the unresolved complex mixture in petroleum-contaminated sediments.
TL;DR: The ability of GC x GC to resolve thousands of individual chemical components from the UCM will facilitate an understanding of the sources, weathering, and toxicity of UCM hydrocarbons.
Journal ArticleDOI
The West Falmouth oil spill after thirty years: the persistence of petroleum hydrocarbons in marsh sediments.

TL;DR: The long-term fate of petroleum hydrocarbons in marsh sediments contaminated in 1969 by the spill of the barge Florida was investigated in this paper, where a 36-cm-long sediment core was collected in August 2000, and sediment extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chroma tography (GC×GC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Oil Spill Source Identification by Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography
TL;DR: In this article, a slightly weathered, marine diesel fuel spill sample was qualitatively and quantitatively compared to two potential source samples using two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) with flame ionization detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometric Detection (GC × GC/MS) Applied to the Analysis of Petroleum
TL;DR: The integration of an MS detector with GC × GC provides increased capability to identify minor components, determine members of homologous series, and characterize ordered peak patterns of related components that are visible in theGC × GC chromatogram.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separation and identification of petroleum biomarkers by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) has been used to separate and identify biomarker molecules in crude oil, which are frequently used in forensic oil spill analysis and petroleum exploration, were separated into easily recognizable bands in the GC×GC chromatogram.
