A Cu(OH)_2-contained microemulsion was employed as a carrier to disperse the precursor Cu(OH)_2 to the heavy oil phase. Under aquathermolysis condition(240 ℃, 2.5 MPa of N_2), the Cu(OH)_2 precursors would first be converted in situ to well-crystallized and size-homogeneous CuO nanoparticles naturally, catalyzed by which the viscosity of Shengli heavy oil could be reduced as much as 94.6%; simultaneously, 22.4% of asphaltenes were converted to light components. The agglomeration of the in situ prepared monoclinic CuO nanoparticles could be negligible throughout the catalytic reaction. Based on the characterization results of ~1 H NMR, elemental analysis and GC-MS of oil samples before and after catalytic aquathermolysis, the mechanism for viscosity reduction of heavy oil in the catalytic system was investigated.展开更多

Results showed that Ti3+ self-doped V2O5/TiO2 catalyst performed the better catalytic activity. And X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the phase composition and morphology of the prepared catalyst. The effects of calcinations temperature of the support, oxygen concentration, [NH3]/[NO] molar ratio and the GHSV on the denitration performance were investigated. It was found that more than 80% NOx conversion was obtained at 210°C when the O2 volume fraction was 5%, the NO concentration was 500 ppm, the [NH3]/[NO] molar ratio = 1 and the GHSV was 23,885 h−1. The results showed that the catalytic activity increased first with the increasing of O2 concentration and [NH3]/[NO] molar ratio, then remained stable. At the same time, the stability of the catalyst was also studied at the temperature of 210°C. The reaction continued for 750 minutes, and the catalytic activity remained above 80%, indicating that the catalyst has a good stability. Moreover, the Ti3+ self-doped V2O5/TiO2 catalyst also showed good SO2 and H2O resistance. Therefore, these findings provide important information to better understand the application of the prepared catalyst.展开更多
