F. Novak et al., FRACTIONATION OF SOIL BITUMENS BY COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY .1. COMPOSITION OF THE N-HEXANE FRACTION, Chemicke listy, 91(9), 1997, pp. 705-706
The soil bitumens, isolated from different horizons of mountain spruce
soil, were fractionated by column chromatography. 25 hydrocarbons wer
e detected in the n-hexane fractions using GC-MS. Their molecular weig
ht was in the range 182-464, the prevailed compound was octadecene (51
-83%).
