Abstract
Sodium carbonate as deacidification agent was used to remove naphthenic acid from diesel oil. The influence of affect factors about treating conditions on the acid removal of diesel oil was investigated, such as volume ratio of deacidification agent-to-oil (VRDO), reaction temperature, stirring time, and resting time. Orthogonal tests were done to conform the optimum process condition. The results showed that the optimum condition is that VRDO was 0.40, reaction temperature was 330 K, stirring time was 6 min, and resting time was 35 min. Under the optimum condition, acidity of diesel oil was reduced to 5.15 mgKOH/100 mL from 135.52 mgKOH/100 mL, and if deacidification rate of naphthenic acid reached 96.8%, diesel oil recovery could reach 92.6%. The quality index of diesel met the national standard.
