Dynamic accelerated solvent extraction for faster oil sands oil, water, and solids determination and solids cleaning

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
25 g of oil sands extracted by dynamic accelerated solvent extraction, yielding 177 mL of bitumen–toluene extract and clean dried solids in approximately 12 min. Abstract Determining the oil, water, and solids (OWS) contents of oil sand is essential to many aspects of the oil sands industry including mine planning, optimization of extraction processes,

Interfacial adsorption characteristics of surfactant‐modified nanoparticles: Equilibrium and dynamic effects of salinity at the oil–water interface

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Surfactant‐modified nanoparticles adsorb at the oil–water interface, enabling interfacial stabilization and microemulsion formation. Abstract This study systematically investigated the interfacial behaviour of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with cationic (CTAB), anionic (SDS), and nonionic (Triton ...

Supercritical water deasphalting and desulphurization of heavy fuel oil with comprehensive molecular‐level analysis and techno‐economic analysis

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Supercritical water deasphalting. Abstract The removal of sulphur from heavy fuel oil (HFO) is essential to address environmental concerns and comply with the stringent regulations imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2020. Previously, the acceptable limit for sulphur was 3.5 wt.%, but it was recently changed to 0.5 wt.%.

Enhanced asphaltene degradation using piezocatalytic technology: A novel approach for sustainable oilfield operations

Results in Engineering
Asphalt or oil spills containing asphaltene can contaminate soil, water bodies, and ecosystems. Natural balances are disrupted by this contamination. Asphaltene contaminates water sources such as rivers, lakes, and aquifers, making them unfit for human ...
