Abstract
|
Researchers
fabricated a MoO3/deep eutectic solvent (DES) catalyst precursor solution by
dissolving molybdenum trioxide in a DES based on choline chloride/urea.
Characterization results showed almost no change in the DES properties after
the addition of MoO3. The solution was used in the catalytic upgrading
reaction of heavy crude oil.
Use of the catalyst in catalytic aquathermolysis exhibited an increase in oil viscosity. In the presence of hydrogen and catalyst, the results showed a 43% reduction in heavy oil viscosity, a 2.5° increase in API gravity, and 32 wt % sulfur reduction. |
