Abstract :
Salts (as chloride) in crude oil, diesel, kerosene, gasoline and turbine oil was determined. The samples under
this study collected from different places in Kurdistan region, Iraq.
The extraction process occurs in toluene, mixture of absolute and acetone using dual extraction apparatus at
60°C for 20 minutes, finally the chlorides was determined volumetrically.
The final results for various samples show a salt content (ppm) of crude oil (307.32 – 441.58) ppm, diesel
(19.68 – 579.27) ppm, kerosene (102.02 – 531.94) ppm, gasoline (92.76 – 563.76) ppm, turbine oil (recycled)
30.77 ppm and turbine oil (used) 324.55 ppm.
