    Abstract:
    A method for digestion of light and medium Iraqi crude oils (Basrah and Khanaken oils) using microwave-induced combustion (MIC) in closed vessels is described for the determination of Hg, Au, Cu, Al, Ca, Co, K, Mg, Si and Sr by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and Mo, Ti, Mn, Li, Se-1 , Rb, Ag, Ba, Pb, As, Cd, Cr, Fe, Ni, V and Zn by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Upon using MIC it was possible to obtain lower limits of detection by ICP-MS and also by ICP-OES compared with those obtained by microwave-assisted digestion. The MIC was the best choice with regard to the possibility of using dilute nitric acid as an absorbing solution, which is important to minimize the interference encountered by ICP-MS and ICP-OES.The physicochemical parameters and some contaminants of crude oil samples were analyzed to classify and assess the quality of the crude oils. This study determines the viability of the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as an alternativee to traditional petroleum geochemical methods for crude oil characterization. The infrared fingerprints agree with the results obtained from GC-MS analysis.
