uel oils are mostly used in marine applications and in power plants. They are known to contain hazardous volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) that are of health and environmental importance. Chlorinated compounds, phenolic compounds,
styrenes, indene, dicyclopentadiene, dihydrocyclopentadiene, cumene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes are some of
the hazardous compounds that have found their way into fuel oil through various streams. A static headspace GC-MS method
was developed for the analysis of these compounds in fuel oil. Styrene D8 was used as internal standard for quantitation. Linear
calibration curves were achieved for all components with determination coefficients R2 >0.99. Repeatability, limit of detection,
limit of quantitation and recovery were reported. Matrix effect caused by fuel oil was minimized by 1:1 dilution with mineral
oil. This method was sucessfully applied to the analysis of commercial samples.
Biography
Felix Anyakudo is a PHD student in the department of pharmaceutical analysis katholiek universiteit Leuven. He is currently the technical development and
chromatography manager Inspectorate Antwerp NV. Felix received his bachelor in chemistry from university of Nigeria Nsukka and his master degree in chemistry
from katholieke universiteit Leuven, Belgium. He also received additional masters in pharmaceutical science from katholieke universiteit Leuven in 2002. Felix joined
Inspectorate Antwerp NV in 2004 and has been actively involved in projects relating to expansion of laboratory capabilities mostly in the field of chromatography.
His current research interest lies in the area of method development for the analysis of environmental and pharmaceutical samples using various kinds of
chromatographic techniques.
