Study on Consistency of Diagnostic Ratios of Different Oils
Using GC/MS analysis means, distribution of n-alkanes, PAHs, and biomarkers and consistency of diagnostic ratios
of different kinds of oil were studied. The results indicate that: (1) Some diagnostic ratios of different oils are not
obviously different and may even be consistent. These diagnostic ratios include two n-alkanes diagnostic ratios
((C19+C20)/(C19~C22) and CPI), four terpanes diagnostic ratios (C31hopaneαβ(S/(S+R))~C34hopaneαβ(S/(S+R))) and
one steranes diagnostic ratio (C29ααα(S/(S+R))). (2) PAHs diagnostic ratios of different oils appear obviously
different and it is no need to consider their consistency. (3) In addition to the stability of diagnostic ratios of
different oils, their consistency of diagnostic ratios is very important in oil spill identification.
