PETROLEUM COMPONENTS AS POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS OF REDOX REACTIONS IN ANIMALS

Abstract

Oil production, its transportation and refining, in spite of precautions, may lead to various hydrocarbon components entering the environment due to unwanted events. Three samples were studied, which are products of oil refining: mazut - the residue obtained by rectification of a mixture of West Siberian oils at atmospheric pressure and that is a mixture of hydrocarbons with a boiling point of more than 350° C with a small amount of heteroatomic compounds (sulfur content in the sample is 2.65 wt%), light (LСGO) and heavy (HCGO) cycle gas oils which are fractions enriched with arenes, including polycyclic, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur compounds (mainly thiophene derivatives)).
