Abstract

The products of catalytic cracking of heavy crude oil from the Ashalchinskoye oil field (the Almetyevsk district of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia) were characterized. The effects of a Fe2O3 nanopowder catalyst and the presence of supercritical water (SCW) on the composition and structure of these cracking products were investigated. Cracking over 0.01 wt % Fe2O3 nanopowder in a SCW environment was found to enhance the yield of distillates by more than 34 wt % and to reduce the content of resinous asphaltene materials by a factor of 2.1 compared to the initial crude oil. It was further shown that Fe2O3-nanopowder-catalyzed cracking produces coke-like asphaltenes with a low H/C atomic ratio (no higher than 0.75). Reaction rate constants were evaluated for the thermal and catalytic cracking of the heavy oil from the Ashalchinskoye field.
