    Evaporation is one of the significant weathering processes that act on the spilled oils in the environment and modifying the compositions of oil. As the physical and chemical compositional changes in spilled oil is essential for a full understanding the end fate and the behavior of oil in the environment. The evaporation test of Daqing crude oil was carried out in laboratory at 25°C, and the physical and chemical properties of crude oil were determined during the test. The results indicated that the evaporation progress decreases the API gravity (American Petroleum Institute Gravity), and increase the density and viscosity of crude oil. The chemical composition of crude oil was quantified in this study during the evaporation test. It indicated that all of the C6 and C 7 compositions have been completely lost at the end of the evaporation test and the compositions of those larger than CIO were less decrease during the evaporation test.
