Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Petroleum Sludge Cake: Extraction and Origin - A Case Study

The aim of this study was to determine the most effective solvent(s) of Acetone, Dichloromethane (DCM), n-Hexane solvents and their mixtures of PAH soxhlet extraction (SE) from petroleum sludge cake sample; also to determine the origin of PAH in petroleum sludge cake sample - a case study. Gas chrom...
