Zhang Chunmin, Zhao Hongjing, Mei Bowen, et al. EFFECT OF BIODEGRADATION ON CARBAZOLE COMPOUNDS IN CRUDE OILS[J]. 1999, 20(4): 341-343.DOI: 10.11743/ogg19990416.
Geochemical analysis of different degrees of biodegradated crude oils show that a slight biodegration affects little to the pyrrolic nitrogen compounds in the oils. The concentrations of cathazole
methylcarbazole and C
2
-carbazole decrease with the increasing of the biodegradation for mid-degree biodegraded oils
the concentrations of pyrrolic nitrogen compounds sharply decrease in the heavily biodegraded oils. The relative concentrations of carbazole
methylcarbazole and C
2
carbazole do not show any apparent changes in the non-heavly biodegraded oils; in the heavilybiedegraded oils
the concentrations of carbazole and methylcarbazole decrease
but that of the C
2
-carbazole increases.As the C
2
-carbazole isomers
the relative Percentage contents of the pyrolic N-H shielded
the prplic N-H semishielded and the pyrolic N-H-exposed carbazoles do not display any obvious variation in the non-heavily biodegraded crude oils
but that of the pyrrolic N-H-exposed carbazoles increase and that of the pyrrolic N-H semi-shielded carbazoles decrease in the heavily biodgraded oils.
