Alkylation of Asphaltenes

open access: yes, 2016
This work investigated different acid catalysts and olefinic alkylating agents for the alkylation of an industrial asphaltenes feed. The working hypothesis was that alkylation would change the solubility parameter and increase the H/C ratio of ...

Stability and demulsification of emulsions stabilized by asphaltenes or resins

open access: yes, 2004
Experimental data are presented to show the influence of asphaltenes and resins on the stability and demulsification of emulsions. It was found that emulsion stability was related to the concentrations of the asphaltene and resin in the crude oil, and ...

Precision Synthesis of Biomass‐Derived Graphene‐Like Carbon With Tailored Crystallinity via Controlled Flash Joule Heating

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
A dual‐phase flash Joule heating strategy converts pre‐pyrolyzed biomass into structurally tunable carbon materials from waste feedstocks. By decoupling current‐driven thermodynamic input and duration‐dependent kinetic relaxation, the process maps the transition from amorphous carbon to few‐layer turbostratic graphene and turbostratic nanographite ...

Experimental Studies on the Adsorption/Occlusion Phenomena Inside the Macromolecular Structures of Asphaltenes

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceAsphaltenes are the polar macromolecules with complex structures in oils, usually existing as aggregates. Inside the macromolecular structures of asphaltenes, some other fractions can be adsorbed/occluded, and the occluded compounds

Hydrogen donor‐assisted visbreaking of Canadian oil sands bitumen

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐viscosity Canadian oil sands bitumen requires processing for efficient transportation and refining. Partial upgrading technologies, primarily based on thermal processing, can effectively reduce, or even eliminate, the use of costly diluent, increase bitumen quality and market value, potentially decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and

Aggregation and coagulation of asphaltenes in oil film: physical characteristics of surface deposit products

open access: yesИзвестия Томского политехнического университета: Инжиниринг георесурсов, 2017
The relevance of the discussed issue is caused by the practical significance of studying aggregation of asphaltenes in oil film and determining the dimensional parameters of micro- and nanostructures of the deposited components.

Investigation of structural features of asphaltenes used for carbon materials synthesis by arc plasma treatment

open access: yesPetroleum Research
This study presents analysis of asphaltenes isolated from two crude oils: naphthenic-aromatic biodegraded oil and paraffin-naphthenic oil, which have been used as precursors for carbon materials synthesis.

Demulsifying agent simplified model for offshore oil wells

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This article addresses key challenges in offshore petroleum production caused by multiphase flow instabilities, such as slug flow and emulsion formation. Traditionally, severe slugging is mitigated by increasing wellhead backpressure through partial choke valve closure. In this context, a simplified dynamic model—the fast offshore wells model (

Influence of pH on Oil-Water Interfacial Tension and Mass Transfer for Asphaltenes Model Oils. Comparison with Crude Oil Behavior

open access: yesOil & Gas Science and Technology, 2016
Asphaltenes are shown to be amphoteric, containing acidic and basic species that can ionize at low and high pH respectively when they come in contact with water.
