This study employs a simple solid‐phase alkali‐oxygen oxidation (SAO) method to extract inherent components (humic acids) from coal. We successfully extracted yellow, brown, and black humic acids by adjusting the amount of alkali. Among them, brown humic acid extraction created abundant ultra‐micropores and closed pores, greatly enhancing sodium ...

Separation and Recovery of Bitumen from Oil Sand by CO2 Desorption of Amine Solution
Bitumen extracted from oil sand has garnered increasing attention as an alternative energy source for fossil resources. Since oil sand consist of a mixture of bitumen (10-15 wt. %), water (4 wt. %), and sand (80 wt.

Compositional Analysis of Bitumen and Bitumen-Derived Products [PDF]
Th e America n Society for Testing Materials (ASTM ) procedures D2887 and D5307 are used for boiling range characterization of petroleum fractions up to 538°C (1000°F). Th e bitumens fro m the Uint a Basin (Utah ) contain approximatel y 60.0 wt % material boiling above 538°C (1000°F); hence, the AST M techniques leave major portions of the bitumens ...

Impacts of refining Canadian partially upgraded bitumen: Fluid catalytic cracking
Abstract In this study, we examine the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) performance of vacuum gas oil (VGO) from partially upgraded bitumen (PUB), a novel refinery feedstock from Canadian bitumen. FCC experiments were conducted in a lab‐scale FCC unit with VGOs from two different PUBs prepared using thermal cracking and solvent deasphalting, along with ...

Quantitative Insights into Atomic Scale Oil–Clay Adhesion Governing Shale Oil Retention and Mobility
Atomic force microscopy reveals a clear adhesion hierarchy between shale oil and clay minerals, governed by nanoscale surface chemistry. Strong interactions on chlorite and illite arise from abundant polar sites and cation bridging, whereas weaker coupling on montmorillonite limits interfacial binding.
