Abstract
Optical and magneto-optical properties of solutions of crude oil of different origin (i.e., taken from different fields) are studied in the visible and near-UV region of optical emission. Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of oil are obtained in the vicinity of wavelengths of ~410 nm, 533 nm, and 576 nm. It is demonstrated that the intensity of the MCD signal depends on the origin of crude oil, and it is proportional to the oil concentration in the solution. The comparison of the magneto-optical spectroscopy data with the chemical composition of samples allows us to conclude that the observed magneto-optical activity is determined by the presence of VO2+ complexes in the oil samples studied. The revealed magneto-optical activity of conventional oil can form a basis of a new method for the analysis of the composition and properties of oil of different origin.
