Use of a solvent in the oxidative desulfurization of bitumen via autoxidation; effects on viscosity and oxidation
DownloadSpring 2014
This work describes the effect that including a solvent in the reaction media of the autoxidation of Cold Lake bitumen has on the viscosity and also on the oxidation degree reached. The comparison of viscosity was performed both in the basis of equal residence time and equal oxygen conversion...
