The biogeochemical cycling of soil organic matter (SOM) plays a central role in regulating
soil health, water quality, carbon storage, and greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, many …

There has been a recent surge in the development of mass spectrometric methods for
detailed characterization of naphthenic acid fraction compounds (all CcHhNnOoSs, species …

Emulsions of oil droplets in water but more typically water droplets in oil are common in the
production, transportation, and refining of petroleum and related products. Emulsions of …

This review focuses on recent advances in instrumentation, techniques, and applications of
the highest resolution mass analyzers (multipass time of flight (TOF), orbitrap, and Fourier …

After a nearly decade absence, we present a review of noteworthy contributions in
petroleum analysis over the past 3 years, intentionally limited to∼ 250 references. The …

Due to increasing volumes of produced water and environmental concerns related to its
