| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on advances in petroleum chemistry and analysis, with a particular emphasis on the characterization of complex petroleum components such as asphaltenes and naphthenic acids. The use of mass spectrometry for detailed chemical analysis, biodegradation studies, nanoaggregation behavior, and the impact of these components on oil sands and heavy oil are also key areas of research. |
