  • Separation of fractions in hydrocarbon samples using an accelerated solvent extractor
    Patent number: 10858596
    Abstract: A method and a system for separating and recovering an entire liquid hydrocarbon sample using an accelerated solvent extractor is disclosed. In the method, a filter is inserted into a bottom portion of an extraction cell of the accelerated solvent extractor. An adsorbent is activated via heating in a furnace and then cooled. At least a portion of the adsorbent is then inserted into the extraction cell and a liquid hydrocarbon sample is introduced into the extraction cell on top of the adsorbent. The extraction cell comprising the sample is placed in a cell tray of the accelerated solvent extractor and the saturate, aromatics, and resins fractions of the sample are sequentially extracted using first, second and third solvents, respectively. The entire liquid hydrocarbon sample is extracted as a result of the method.
