Abstract
Fe2O3, V2O5, NiO, MnO2, and MoO3 nanomaterials were synthesized and used as adsorbents as well as catalysts in low-temperature oxidation of asphaltenes. The acidity of the metal cations seems to be the predominant factor improving adsorption capability. Further, RTO, TGA and DSC techniques evinced catalytic properties for all the studied materials in the oxidation of asphaltenes.Particularly, a correlation between the adsorption affinity and the activation energy in the combustion process was experimentally evidenced for Fe2O3, MnO2, and MoO3 materials. Thus, the asphaltenes-surface interaction plays a key role for adsorptive and oxidative treatment of asphaltenes.Transition metal oxide crystalline phase and its corresponding redox properties proved to be relevant parameters for promoting oxygen addition reactions in the low temperature oxidation process.
