The products obtained from liquefaction of sugar cane bagasse with mon
oethanolamine were characterized using a variety of methods: elemental
analysis and UV-visible, FTIR, H(1)NMR and C(13)NMR spectrometries. T
he oils were separated by conventional solubility techniques and were
further fractionated into eight fractions (saturated, monoaromatic, di
aromatic, triaromatic and poliaromatic hydrocarbons, resins, asphalten
es and pre-asphaltenes). These fractions were characterized by capilla
ry gas cromatograpy with flame ionization detection and gas chromatogr
aphy I mass spectrometry. Data obtained from simulated distillation of
the oils provided useful information regarding product quality.
