Abstract

We compared four analytical methods (infrared spectrometry, chromatography, gravimetry, mass loss on ignition) for detection concentration of oil allochthonous compounds. It was the case study of gray forest soil contaminated with different doses of oil. We carried out the measurements in a 1 day and 90 days after pollution. Quantitative values of the formed analytical signal varied greatly because they depended on the specifics of the used method, the initial level of oil contamination and weathering time. The effectiveness of the techniques considered could be arranged in the following order: loss on ignition > gravimetry > gas chromatography > infrared spectrometry. We suggested the combined use of different analytical methods for more correct estimation of organic compounds of oil content and its fractional composition variation
