Amadu, Iysha Kumari, Isha Jain","doi":"10.5539/ijc.v16n2p1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/ijc.v16n2p1","url":null,"abstract":"As the demand for crude oil continues to increase in response to the continued global needs for it, the development of unconventional crude oil reserves is the only way to sustain global supply. However, the excessively higher viscosity of heavy crude oil makes it less attractive for conventional pipeline transportation. Therefore, reducing the viscosity of heavy crude oil to meet crude oil transporting pipeline regulations is a necessity. This paper has assessed the dilution efficiency of well-known diluents in the petroleum industry, using different dilution ratios based on a thermodynamic approach involving activation energy and heat of vaporization determination. Based on selected dilution ratios, kinematic viscosities of binary and ternary systems of toluene and natural gas condensate as diluents, and Saudi Heavy crude oil as the base oil were measured, using anticipated field based temperatures reported in the literature, which facilitated the experimental approach. The study shows that although the ternary systems have the lowest activation energy for viscous flow and heat of vaporization in accordance with the thermal activation theory of viscous flow, natural gas condensate binary systems have the lowest cost of transportation per barrel of total fluid in the transporting pipeline. The study further shows that the binary systems for toluene and Saudi Heavy crude oil have higher activation energy for viscous flowed compared to the toluene systems.","PeriodicalId":13866,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141010780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, the nature of Buswell’s equation for biohydrogen is introduced by using the H-atom method. The mean oxidation number of organic carbons is employed as a metric for counting theoretical quantity of biohydrogen and parameters of Buswell’s equation for biohydrogen. Based on an empirical formula and mean oxidation number of organic carbons, the general Buswell’s equation for biohydrogen is developed.

Also, low values of relative standard deviations (RSD) between 0.30 % and 0.58 % were obtained; confirming good reproducibility of our measurements. The application of this method to our samples allowed the detection of tyramine with satisfactory recovery rates between 93.68 % and 106.60 %. Interference studies with different biogenic amines have shown that the determination of tyramine can be done without major problems in the presence of spermine, spermidine, and histamine. However, special attention should be paid when tyramine is determined in the presence of agmatine, cadaverine or putrescine. In all cases, the determination of tyramine is more influenced by the presence of tryptamine or dopamine in the sample.","PeriodicalId":13866,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139164003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
