Determination of metals: nickel, chromium, copper, zinc and cadmium (Ni, Cr, Cu, Zn And Cd) in crude oil samples / Nensirati binti Supahan

Samples of crude oil from two different oil fields, North Lukut and Penara, off shore of Terengganu, Malaysia were analyzed for trace metals: cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel and zinc. There were five crude oil samples from North Lukut oil field and three crude oil samples from Penara. All of the c...
