Abstract
Abstract In this study, the solvent extraction experiment was investigated to probe the desorption behaviors and desorption mechanism of oily sludge with n-heptane as solvent. Desorption isotherms were analyzed and fitted by Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson equations at different temperatures. Then, the thermodynamics parameters such as standard free energy (ΔG°), standard enthalpy (ΔH°) and standard entropy (ΔS°) were calculated. Based on thermodynamics analysis and calculation, oil was proved to exist in the form of the colloidal dispersion system. In addition, the kinetics was fitted by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Kinetic studies showed that desorption process of asphaltenes was restrained severely due to strong interactions between sludge and asphaltenes, and resins played a crucial role in asphaltenes desorption. The desorption mechanism was discussed based on experimental results and further analysis. The solvent effect and carry-over effect were deemed to be crucial to oil desorption. The carry-over effect is generated from electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonds, electron donor-acceptor and π-π interactions, which was also the essence of asphaltenes desorption.
