Herein, we present the production of jet and diesel range hydrocarbons from non-edible hexane-extracted Brassica carinata oil. The influence of four heterogeneous catalysts (two noble metal catalysts: Pd/C and Ru/C, and two transition metal…
The aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1- and 2-propanol) were used for the upgrading of petroleum asphaltenes. The process was performed under supercritical (sc) conditions at 350 C. CHNSO analysis and GC methods were used to characterize the…
Asphaltenes represent the heaviest fraction of crude oils, being recognized by their tendency to self-associate and precipitate. Asphaltene precipitation and subsequent deposition can cause problems in all stages of production. The objective of this…
Nowadays, the production of liquid fuel faces such problems as the matching of the final product with the world standards. To solve these problems, the development of novel technologies and highly effective catalysts for crude oil processing and…
The GERG-2008 equation of state is the approved ISO standard (ISO 20765-2) for the calculation of thermophysical properties of natural gas mixtures. The composition of natural gas can vary considerably due to the diversity of origin. Further…
Abstract.: Noble gases, and the way they fractionate, is a promising approach to better constrain origin, migration and initial state distributions of fluids in gas and oil reservoirs. Thermodiffusion, is one of the phenomena that may lead to isotope…
The process of monitoring the gas compositions outside from the separation stages of gas from oil, is a very important process and gives a complete perception of the optimization of these facilities, for processing oil and through this can be…
Abstract: General features of the distribution of vanadium and nickel in the products of two-step solvent fractionation of asphaltenes have been using the exampley of heavy crude oils from various fields of the VolgaUrals oil-and-gas basin (Russia).…
Deterioration of our terrestrial environment due to decreasing soil quality brought on by crude oil spills and leakages is a major issue. In this study, soil samples were prepared by mixing clay (bentonite) and sand contaminated with 5 and 10 wt%…
