Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization and evaluation of ZrO2 supported hydrotreating catalysts

TL;DR: A series of zirconia supported molybdenum catalysts were prepared and characterized by BETSA, XRD, TPR, FTIR, XPS and oxygen chemisorption as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in asphaltene structure during thermal cracking of residual oils: XRD study

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of thermal cracking on asphaltene molecular structure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and showed that the average diameter of the aromatic sheet (La) has not changed much with thermal cracking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermogravimetric determination of coke from asphaltenes, resins and sediments and coking kinetics of heavy crude asphaltenes

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-isothermal technique using various heating rates was applied to study kinetics of asphaltene cracking toward coke formation and an iso-conversional method based on Friedman's procedure was used to calculate the reaction kinetic parameters from thermogravimetric analysis during the cracking and a set of activation energies and preexponential factor was obtained as the reaction progresses.
