Assessing the Asphaltene Adsorption on Metal Oxide Nanoparticles [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2016 The Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) approach is adopted here to evaluate the impact ofeffective factors such as nanoparticles type, nanoparticles to model solution mass ratio, asphaltenestructure, and temperature on asphaltene adsorption equilibrium.

Isolation of Asphaltene-Degrading Bacteria from Sludge Oil
Makara Journal of Science, 2015 Sludge oil contains 30%–50% hydrocarbon fractions that comprise saturated fractions, aromatics, resins, and asphaltene. Asphaltene fraction is the most persistent fraction.

Density, viscosity, and stability of products from combinations of visbreaking and deasphalting
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Transporting bitumen through pipelines in Western Canada is cost intensive because the oil has to be diluted with light solvents to meet pipeline specifications. The diluent requirement can be reduced by visbreaking (VIS) and solvent deasphalting (SDA), each of which decrease the viscosity and density of the oil.

Corn cob pyrolysis: A systematic literature review of methods and applications
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Mapping the research landscape of corn cob pyrolysis. Abstractas The agricultural sector is experiencing a surge in waste generation due to population growth, creating an urgent need to convert byproducts into value‐added products. Maize (Zea mays L.), a leading global crop, produces significant byproducts, such as corn cob, which are often undervalued.

A review on methods of determining onset of asphaltene precipitation
Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2018 Oil industry suffers from flow assurance problems that occur both in upstream and downstream operations. One of the common flow assurance issues arises from precipitation and deposition of asphaltenes in various locations along the oil production path ...
