Evaluation of petroleum contaminants in soil by fluorescence spectroscopy Autori: Dan Savastru, Elfrida M. Carstea, Gabriela Pavelescu, Luminita CristescuData aparitiei: September/October 2009 Revista: Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 8 › Nr. 5 ISSN: 1843 - 3707 Format PDF Abstract
Preliminary investigation of contaminated soil in the surrounding area of a petroleum tank has been carried out based on fluorescence techniques: excitation emission matrix (EEM) and synchronous fluorescence scan (SFS). A fluorescence fingerprints library containing several EEM and SFS maps for various dilutions of Romanian crude oil in methanol, was used to confirm the identity of the soil contaminant. A calibration curve was created to estimate the contamination level of soil samples. High polyaromatic hydrocarbon concentration in the range of 23 %, v/v was obtained nearby the petroleum tank and a lower one in the range of 0.55 %, v/v at surrounding area.
