The effect of crude oil residues on the photolysis of model crude oil components (3,6-dimethylphenanthrene (DMP), dibenzothiophene (DBT), di-n-butylsulphide (DBS), tetramethylethylene (TME), alpha-terpinene, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), and tetralin) in toluene was studied. The residues h...
