Ruthenium-ion-catalyzed oxidation (RICO) has been used to investigate asphaltenes from three oils with the same origin in the Juquan Basin and three oils with the same origin but with different degree of biodegradatio...
The pyrolysis kinetics of a series of asphaltenes, from different types of kerogens, are studied in this work. The results indicate that the distributions of activation energy are over a wide range for the asphaltenes...
Asphaltene is one of the important compositions in oil reservoirs, while it is also a major factor that causes difficulties in oil recovery and oil post-processings. Up to date, study on asphaltenes in oil recovery is...
