The present study examines the efficacy of copper tall oil (Cu-TO) and copper sunflower oil (Cu-SFO) on heavy oil high-temperature oxidation reactions, which are believed to solve this challenge. We applied non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses combined with an isoconversional kinetic approach in order to calculate kinetic parameters, thermodynamic functions, and the effective rate constant of these reactions. The obtained results demonstrated that both catalysts are able to reduce the activation energies and shift oxidation regions to lower temperatures, with Cu-SFO showing superior performance. Kinetic predictions further supported these findings and revealed that the selected catalysts contributed significantly to decreasing oxidation times across all conversion ranges. Additionally, thermodynamic analyses indicated that Cu-SFO facilitated a more ordered and energetically favorable oxidation process, as demonstrated by increasingly negative entropy values and consistently lower Gibbs free energy. The research highlights the Cu-SFO catalyst exceptional ability to accelerate the transition from low-temperature to high-temperature oxidation while maintaining high catalytic activity.

The gas production performance under three different conditions was also analyzed. Results indicated that the solid yield decreased as particle size increased, with the maximum weight loss rate of 77.79 % occurring at a particle size of 1.25∼1.60 mm. The highest relative pyrolysis rate was 0.77 %/K at a heating rate of 10 K/min, corresponding to a weight loss rate of 74.46 %. Increasing the proportion of oxygen in the atmosphere reduced both the ignition and burnout temperatures of CSW by 9.34 K and 51.89 K, respectively, shifting the Derivative Thermogravimetry (DTG) curve to a lower temperature range. Furthermore, an increase in the heating rate enhanced hydrogen production intensity during CSW pyrolysis, with the peak particle current of H₂ rising from 8.7 × 10⁻¹⁰ A to 1.2 × 10⁻⁹ A, representing a 0.38-fold increase when the heating rate was raised from 5 K/min to 40 K/min.

The Friedman, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), and Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) methods showed rising E_a with increasing conversion rates, corresponding to the decomposition of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin.
