Abstract EN
The important key of heavy oil efficient exploring is to decrease the viscosity and increase the flowability.
Solid acid catalyst is one of the commonly used catalysts to reducing the viscosity of heavy oil, but good dispersion in oil phase and better catalytic activity are difficult to achieve.
Herein, ZrO2-TiO2 was selected as the fundamental catalyst because of its superior solid superacid properties, and CTAB was selected as the surfactant package coat to help enhance catalytic activity.
The as-prepared catalysts were characterized systematically by TEM, XRD, FTIR, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms measurement.
The reduction efficiency of the heavy oil viscosity achieved as high as 66.3% at 180°C.
At the same time, the portion of asphaltenes and resins slipped down by 4.93% and 3.78%, respectively, while saturated and aromatic hydrocarbon component increased by 5.37% and 3.26%, respectively, indicating that our catalyst showed a good activity for reducing the viscosity and improving the quality of heavy crude oil.
