Aromatic hydrocarbons are carcinogenic and can induce mutations in living organisms, posing a threat to the ecological environment and human life and health. Catalytic hydrogenation of aromatics to reduce the saturation of aromatics not only reduces their toxicity, but also greatly increases their potential value. Compared with the unsupported catalysts with only active components, the supported metal catalysts have higher catalytic activity and better selectivity, the catalytic activity of the hydrogenation reaction depends on the metal active phase and catalyst support. On metal/acid catalysts, the metal active center and nearby acid sites are involved in the conversion of aromatics, the active hydrogen leaking from the metal center can hydrogenate the adsorbed aromatics at the acid site. This paper reviews the recent research progress of nickel‐based catalysts for aromatic hydrocarbon catalytic hydrogenation and discusses the development prospects and challenges faced by non‐precious metal catalysts. In addition, the sulfur tolerance and hydrogen storage properties of catalysts for aromatics are reviewed.

To maintain economic profitability and stabilize fuel prices, refineries actively explore alternatives for efficiently processing (extra) heavy crude oils. These oils are challenging to process due to their complex composition, which includes significant quantities of asphaltenes, resins, and sulfur and nitrogen heteroatoms. A critical initial step in upgrading these oils is the hydrogenation of polyaromatic compounds, requiring substantial hydrogen sources. Methane from natural gas streams is known to act as an effective hydrogen donor. This study investigates the use of a heteropolyacid (HPA) catalyst modified with nickel and methane to enhance the quality of heavy crude oil with an initial 8.0°API (at 15.5 °C) and 2200 cSt viscosity (at 37.5 °C). After treatment in a batch reactor at 380 °C and 4.4 MPa for 2 h, the oil properties markedly improved: API gravity increased from 8.0 to 16.0 (at 15.5 °C), and kinematic viscosity reduced from 2200 to 125 cSt (at 37.5 °C). Additionally, there was a significant decrease in asphaltenes (from 38.7 to 16.4% by weight), sulfur (from 5.9 to 4.0% by weight), and nitrogen (from 971 to 695 ppm). This was accompanied by an increase in the volume of light distillates from 1.3 to 4.9%, and middle distillates from 8.8 to 21.0%. These results suggest that nickel-modified HPA catalysts, combined with methane as a hydrogen donor, are a promising option for upgrading heavy crude oils.

“…The synergistic mechanism between nanoparticles and surfactants can address foam-related issues in oil displacement applications. Metal nanocrystal catalysts can be highly dispersed in heavy oil and promote desulfurization and chain scission reactions of heavy oil macromolecules by significantly increasing the specific surface area and providing a large number of active sites, thereby reducing the viscosity of heavy oil and improving recovery rate [12][13][14]. Hendraningrat and other researchers [15] conducted a series of studies on nanofluid displacement by varying parameters such as rock core permeability, rock wettability, and nanofluid concentration.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of SiO2 nanoparticles in assisting with surfactants and polymers for tertiary oil recovery, with the aim of enhancing oil recovery. The article characterizes the performance of SiO2 nanoparticles, including particle size, dispersion stability, and zeta potential, evaluates the synergistic effects of nanoparticles with alpha-olefin sulfonate sodium (AOS) surfactants and hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) on reducing interfacial tension and altering wettability, and conducts core flooding experiments in rock cores with varying permeabilities. The findings demonstrate that the particle size decreased from 191 nm to 125 nm upon the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles to AOS surfactant, but increased to 389 nm upon the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles to HPAM. The dispersibility experiment showed that the SiO2 nanoparticle solution did not precipitate over 10 days. After adding 0.05% SiO2 nanoparticles to AOS surfactant, the zeta potential was −40.2 mV, while adding 0.05% SiO2 nanoparticles to 0.1% HPAM resulted in a decrease in the zeta potential to −25.03. The addition of SiO2 nanoparticles to AOS surfactant further reduced the IFT value to 0.19 mN/m, altering the rock wettability from oil-wet to strongly water-wet, with the contact angle decreasing from 110° to 18°. In low-permeability rock core oil displacement experiments, the use of AOS surfactants and HPAM for enhanced oil recovery increased the recovery rate by 24.5% over water flooding. The recovery rate increased by 21.6% over water flooding in low-permeability rock core experiments after SiO2 nanoparticles were added and surfactants and polymers were utilized for oil displacement. This is because the nanoparticles blocked small pore throats, resulting in increased resistance and hindered free fluid flow. The main causes of this plugging are mutual interference and mechanical entrapment, which cause the pressure differential to rise quickly. In high-permeability rock core oil displacement experiments, the use of AOS surfactants and HPAM for oil recovery increased the recovery rate by 34.6% over water flooding. Additionally, the recovery rate increased by 39.4% over water flooding with the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles and the use of AOS surfactants and HPAM for oil displacement. Because SiO2 nanoparticles create wedge-shaped structures inside highly permeable rock cores, they create structural separation pressure, which drives crude oil forward and aids in diffusion. This results in a comparatively small increase in pressure differential. Simultaneously, the nanoparticles change the rock surfaces’ wettability, which lowers the amount of crude oil that adsorbs and improves oil recovery.
