Some studies on tar pillets at Veraval coast (Gujarat)
Abstract
Infrared spectroscopic (IR) analysis indicated that the tar pillets contain saturated hydrocarbons particularly higher homologues of n-paraffins, unsaturated and carbonyl type of polar compounds. Gas chromatographic (GLC) fingerprint pattern and high asphaltene contents revealed that the residue might have originated from residual fraction of a crude oil such as fuel oil. Its fingerprint pattern and paraffin profile did not match with those of Bombay High crude residue
