ON SOME ASPECTS OF NAFTALAN OIL PROPERTIES

Abstract

Naftalan medicinal and fuel oil properties have been studied by methods of IR/UV spectroscopy, DLS, chromato-mass-spectrometry and oil used for curative purposes throughout the year as well. It revealed that two types of Naftalan oil originated not only independently from one another but also from primary organic matter with critical differences, and this can be supported by data of chromato-massspectrometry. Identity of Naftalan field can be explained by the fact that it is confined to faults zone and by participation of deep fluids in the formation of oil properties. Lithological composition of rocks is of significant importance in the formation of a unique deposit where rocks are mainly of sandy composition ~ 27%, and clays are ~ 73%. According to DLS, data particles with diameter ranging from 100 to 1000 nm are more intensive in medicinal Naftalan oil. As for the sample of fuel oil, particles with diameter from 50 nm and lower can be observed. Used Naftalan oil tends to aggregate particles with diameter from 100 to 8000 nm; in this case particles of more than 1000 nm are stable up to 50°C. Diffusion coefficients are higher for samples of medicinal oil than for fuel one and this probably provides for pharmaceutic effect. Comparative study of Naftalan oil samples showed DLS data can be a peculiar kind of distinctive fingerprint for used medicinal oil
