Abstract Crop residues of rice, wheat and maize were burned under conditions simulating open combustion. Compound specific carbon isotopic ratios (δ13C) of n-alkanols (C20-C30) and sterols (cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and β-sitosterol) in smoke from biomass burning were determined. The results showed that the mean distinction (Δ13C) values of δ13C ratios for n-alkanols and sterols between flaming smoke from rice straw and the fuel were -1.3‰ and +0.7‰, respectively. The mean Δ13C values in smoldering smoke from the fuel were -1.4‰ and +1.1‰, respectively. Moreover, the mean Δ13C values for the two groups of compounds in flaming and smoldering smoke from wheat straw were +2.4‰, +0.5‰, and +3.0‰, +1.7‰, respectively. The mean Δ13C values for the two types of compounds in flaming and smoldering smoke from maize stover additionally were -2.5‰, +0.7‰, and -3.8‰, +1.8‰, respectively. Significant isotopic fractionations occurred in both n-alkanols and sterols in smoke from all three sorts of crop residues. Smolder was propitious to isotopic fractionation in the compounds from smoke relative to flame burning. This may have significance for identifying n-alkanol and/or sterol derived from crop residue burning in atmospheric particles.
