H-ZSM5, Zn/H-ZSM5, and Co/H-ZSM5 catalyze thiophene desulfurization with high H2S selectivity using propane as the exclusive hydrogen source. Desulfurization rates and selectivities were much higher than at the H2 concentrations present during propane reactions. Zn+2 and Co+2 cations at exchange sites increased desulfurization rates. On H-ZSM5, desulfurization rates and selectivities with propa...

Petroleum heavy vacuum gas oil (HVGO) containing 10 wt.% of petroleum wax was hydrocracked at 390–430 °C and under the pressure 18 MPa over a Ni W/amorphous silica-alumina catalyst in continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor. The hydrocracking reference feed (neat HVGO) carried out same reaction conditions. physico-chemical properties primary products obtained via laboratory atmospheric-vacuum distill...

In the present investigation, γ-alumina nanoparticles with particle sizes less than 10 nm, high specific surface area (351 m2/g), high pore volumes and relatively narrow pore sizes distribution was prepared via sol-gel method in presence of aluminum isopropoxide as an aluminum precursor, distilled water, acetic acid as hydrolysis rate controller and tert-butanol as solvent. They had meso ...

Introduction EOR This word literally means enhanced oil recovery and in the oil industry area used as extraction of oil reservoir that deals by advanced industrial techniques to harvest of reservoir heavy and semi-heavy oil [1]. In Canada 1.2 million barrels a day, Venezuela's 600,000 barrels per day and in China 150,000 barrels per day produced oil of heavy oil reservoirs. Canada, America, Ven...
