Abstract
Oil-soluble catalysts present promising methods to enhance the efficiency of heavy oil extraction and processing. This study synthesized and characterized an oil-soluble aluminum oleate catalyst and conducted a comparative analysis of its catalytic efficiency in CO2 and N2 atmospheres for heavy oil processing via aquathermolysis at 300 °C for 24 hours. The results indicated that the reaction system in a CO2 atmosphere exhibited, achieving a more substantial reduction in viscosity and asphaltene content compared to the N2 atmosphere. The upgrading process also improved the H/C ratio and reduced sulfur content, highlighting the effectiveness of aromatization and desulfurization reactions. Infrared spectral analysis data revealed an increase in the (CC/CH₃+CH₂) ratio and a decrease in the (CH₂/CC) and (RSO₃H/CC) ratios compared to heavy oil. These findings open new avenues for developing heavy oil processing technologies using aquathermolysis in the presence of aluminum oleate, significantly enhancing the efficiency of the upgrading process.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
