A combined method of sample preparation for the determination of the total element composition of oils

Abstract

A comprehensive approach to the determination of the elemental composition of oils (including those with a viscosity of 5000 mm 2 /s) is proposed. It ensures the determination of the most elements present in oils using two versions of sample preparation, autoclave decomposition of oil samples and extraction preconcentration of elements from oil into an aqueous solution on rotating coiled columns (RCCs). The application of RCCs in the elemental analysis of oil ensures the preconcentration of a number of trace elements from oil (including rare-earth elements) and the determination of their concentrations at a level of ng/kg. The preconcentration factor of trace elements from oil using an RCC depends on the volume of oil sample pumped through a constant volume of the stationary phase (acid solution) retained in the column and on the speciation of elements in the oil.

Catalytic cracking of M-100 fuel oil: relationships between origin process parameters and conversion products

“…At present, the development of technologies for processing oil residues is relevant and promising, which is associated with an increase in the share of hard-to-recover oil reserves: heavy and high-viscosity oils in the world. This, in turn, forces refineries to select carefully the available technologies for processing oil residues and increase the share of heavy oil raw materials in the total volume of oil-processing feedstock [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. 40-45% of all high-octane gasoline is produced at catalytic cracking plants with a steamer.…”
