Effect of Fe403 Nanoparticles on the Rheological Properties of Water Based Mud


 Crude oil; is known as liquid hydrocarbon, which is formed as a result of the metamorphosis of organic matter on earth. Crude oil is a complex mixture containing paraffin, naphthenes, olefins, aromatic compounds and a small but significant amount of sulphur. During refining crude oil; air pollutants such as COx, SOx and NOx, NH3, H2S, mercaptans, carbonyl sulfide and heavy metals are released. With the legal regulations made in many countries of the world, it obliges the use of environmentally friendly fuels containing less SOx and aromatic compounds. For this reason, an increasing number of studies are being carried out to reduce the number of sulphur compounds in crude oil as much as possible. For the same reason, in this study; firstly CuONPs and MWCNTs were synthesized separately, secondly MWCNTs were decorated with CuONPs the by the CVD method, and the third was characterized by SEM and XPS. Finally, 0.02 to 0.1 g of CuONPs/MWCNTs and MWCNTs were added separately to the crude oil and adsorptive desulphurization was performed with a contact time of 60 and 120 minutes. As a result of the experimental study, it has been determined that the desulphurization efficiency varies between 2.47% and 5.44%.

Novel Research on the Use of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes Functionalized with Copper Oxide Nanocomposite in the Adsorptive Desulphurization of Crude Oil: Laboratory Research


 We aimed to improve the rheological properties of water based drilling muds (WBDM) by graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and graphene oxide functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/GO) at 0.0005-0.01 (% w/v) ratios. For this purpose, AuNPs, graphene, GO, and AuNPs/GO were first synthesized, and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy, tunneling electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Synthesized and characterized nanomaterials were added to WBDM at a rate of 0.0005% to 0.01% (w/v), and finally, rheological and filtration loss analyzes of water based drilling muds containing nanomaterials were carried out according to American Petroleum Institute Standards. By using nanomaterials to improve the properties of water based drilling mud, plastic viscosity, apparent viscosity, yield point, and gel strength (10 s and 10 min), increased by 67%, 44%, 44%, 67% and 50%, respectively, and at the same time, the filtration loss value decreased by 14%.
