Spring 2016
This work investigated different acid catalysts and olefinic alkylating agents for the alkylation of an industrial asphaltenes feed. The working hypothesis was that alkylation would change the solubility parameter and increase the H/C ratio of asphaltenes sufficiently to cause some asphaltenes...

Spring 2018
Asphaltenes, defined as the fraction of crude oil soluble in toluene and insoluble in C5 to C7 paraffinic solvents, constitute the lowest value fraction of heavy oil. Sulfur is the most abundant heteroatom in asphaltenes. The present work explores two approaches for upgrading asphaltenes using...
