Due to the increase in the volume of extracted, processed and transported oil and petroleum products, emergency situations are becoming more frequent, accompanied by a spill of oil and petroleum products, which has disastrous consequences for the…
A synthesized polymeric pour point depressant (PPD) from olive oil (Olea Europaea) was used to reduce the pour point and rheology improvement. A maximum reduction of 8 °C in pour point which was originally 43 °C at ambient temperature after adding…
Recently, hydrothermal catalytic process in reservoir conditions (in-situ upgrading) has got remarkable attentions. In this study, the feasibility of the in-situ upgrading of Ashalcha crude oil (Tatarstan region, Russia) using steam and catalyst…
A thermal processing of waste tires in the presence of a natural zeolite catalyst from the "Tayzhuzgen" field (Eastern Kazakhstan) is detailed. The hydrogen sources utilized were heavy residues from oil refinement. The elemental and phase composition…
Petroleum coke is often shortened as pet coke. Petroleum coke or pet coke is a product obtained from oil of all kinds during the oil refining process. Petroleum coke is a carbon-rich solid originating from petroleum refining and is obtained by…
The objective of this study was to evaluate the Calotropis procera fiber treated with NaOH combined with heat treatment as sorbent material for removal of petroleum and derivatives in cases of oil spill. The effects of oil viscosity, fiber/oil…
The seed of Stauntonia brachyanthera is usually regarded as waste after fructus processing. Here, the potential utilization value of the protein isolate (SSPI) from seeds was evaluated by investigating its physicochemical and functional properties.…
