Destabilization and Aggregation Kinetics of Asphaltenes. [PDF]
Asphaltenes are the heaviest fraction of crude oil and can precipitate due to changes in temperature, pressure or composition. It was previously shown that the precipitation and aggregation of asphaltenes is a kinetic phenomenon.

Mixture Effect on the Dilatation Rheology of Asphaltenes-Laden Interfaces
Asphaltenes are a solubility class of crude oils comprising polyaromatic and heterocyclic molecules with different interfacial activities. The previously neglected effects of compositional mixture on dilatational rheology are discussed in the light of ...

Probing Asphaltenes Aggregation with Fluorescence Techniques
Asphaltenes correspond to the fraction of oil that is insoluble in heptane but is soluble in toluene. The aggregates of asphaltene are of interest because they cause serious problems in the production of oil.

Study of hydrogenation of petroleum asphaltenes
Isolated petroleum asphaltenes were subjected to model thermal and catalytic hydrogenation experiments in the temperature region 300-450° C. The course of hydrogenation of the asphaltenes studied is discussed based on 1H-NMR type analysis of the starting

Comparative reactivities of coal asphaltenes during hydropyrolysis
Comparisons have been drawn in the relative reactivities of three coal asphaltenes during hydropyrolysis. All were derived from hydrogen donor-solvent extracts of bituminous coal, but had different hydrotreatment histories and different carbon contents ...

GEOCHEMISTRY OF PETROLEUM: ASPHALTENES AS A SOURCE OF GEOCHEMISTRY INFORMATION
Because of physical and geochemical similarity of asphaltenes with kerogen, the study of asphaltenes provides information for applications in geochemical petroleum.

REACTIVITY OF ASPHALTENES IN DIRECT COAL LIQUEFACTION.
Analytical data for four asphaltenes isolated from different stages of a direct coal liquefaction process are reported. Long contact times under hydrocracking conditions produce asphaltenes of lower H:C ratio, lower heteroatom content and higher ...
