EPR and Fluorescence Spectroscopy in the Photodegradation Study of Arabian and Colombian Crude Oils

EPR and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to evaluate the degradation of crude oils of different origins that were submitted to photochemical weathering under tropical conditions. The EPR spectra obtained showed signals of the paramagnetic species: the vanadyl VO2+ ion and organic free radicals. A...
