Advanced Spectroscopic Characterization of Synthetic Oil from Oil Sands via Pyrolysis: An FTIR, GC–MSD, and NMR Study
This paper presents a modern spectroscopic characterization of the synthetic oil from oil sands of Beke, Munaily-Mola, and Dongeleksor. The pyrolysis process was carried out at temperatures up to 580 °C with a controlled heating rate, and the products obtained were analyzed using Fourier transform i...

| description | This paper presents a modern spectroscopic characterization of the synthetic oil from oil sands of Beke, Munaily-Mola, and Dongeleksor. The pyrolysis process was carried out at temperatures up to 580 °C with a controlled heating rate, and the products obtained were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MSD), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The FTIR spectra showed a predominance of aliphatic hydrocarbons in the sample from Munaily-Mola synthetic oil, while the content of aromatic compounds was higher in the sample from Beke. GC–MSD analysis revealed significant differences in the distribution of hydrocarbons between the samples, with the Munaily-Mola sample containing a higher proportion of heavy hydrocarbons. NMR spectroscopy provided additional information about the structural composition of the extracted oil. The results indicate the potential of pyrolysis as an effective method for processing oil sands, while the composition of the product varies depending on the geological origin of the raw materials. These findings provide valuable information for optimizing oil sands processing technologies and improving the efficiency of synthetic oil production. |
