Research on novel and green nanocomposites (NCs) that are synthesized from safe
materials has many advantages and is very favored among researchers. Green and novel …

Abstract Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) undoubtedly represents the structurally most complex
petroleum fraction. Composed from a wide range of refinery resdiua after yielding the more …

This study aims to analyze the aggregation state of A1 and A2 asphaltene subfractions and
their influence on the adsorption and reactivity of ceria-based nanoparticles. To this aim, a …

In this research, six various asphaltenes extracted from crude oil mixtures of three Russian
refinery plants and some heavy residues of these plants were studied with applying …

Despite the lower toxicity of water-based lubricants over nonrenewable petroleum-based
analogues, they face challenges in achieving widespread adoption due to low stability and …

In this study, we investigate the use of asphaltene, a natural waste product that is inevitably
formed during heavy oil processing, as a filler in polymer composites. The focus of this work …

The world continues experiencing a steady decrease in the availability of conventional light
or even medium crude oils, and hence, refineries inevitably face the challenge of processing …

The selective conversion of asphaltenes to light products while inhibiting coke formation is
the most challenging in the heavy oil upgrading process. Herein, single-and two-stage slurry …

In the present work, an experimental study was conducted to investigate the sulfur
distribution in the products during thermal degradation of vacuum residues at different …

A method for synthesizing graphene derivatives from asphaltene is proposed in this work.
The method is based on chemical treatment on which the asphaltene molecules are …
