Abstract
High-wax crude oil was treated with ultrasound (sample weight 50 g, frequency 22 kHz, field intensity 8 W/cm2) for 10 min. The ultrasonic treatment led to an increase in the crude oil viscosity, viscous flow activation energy, specific energy of the break of the disperse system, congealing point, pour point, and precipitate amount and to changes in the precipitate structure. The oil fraction of the crude oil, precipitates, and raffinates was analyzed by IR spectroscopy and chromatography–mass spectrometry. The content of high-molecular-mass n-alkanes in oils from the precipitate of the ultrasonically treated crude oil considerably decreases.
期刊介绍:
Petroleum Chemistry (Neftekhimiya), founded in 1961, offers original papers on and reviews of theoretical and experimental studies concerned with current problems of petroleum chemistry and processing such as chemical composition of crude oils and natural gas liquids; petroleum refining (cracking, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming); catalysts for petrochemical processes (hydrogenation, isomerization, oxidation, hydroformylation, etc.); activation and catalytic transformation of hydrocarbons and other components of petroleum, natural gas, and other complex organic mixtures; new petrochemicals including lubricants and additives; environmental problems; and information on scientific meetings relevant to these areas.
Petroleum Chemistry publishes articles on these topics from members of the scientific community of the former Soviet Union.
