This work concerns the development of a methodology for kinetic modeling of hydrotreating
processes. The proposed approach allows to overcome the lack of molecular detail of the …

The present work focuses on the development of a novel methodology for the kinetic
modeling of heavy oil conversion processes. The methodology models both the feedstock …

A vacuum residue is a complex hydrocarbon mixture of several thousand different chemical
species. Even today, no analytical technique is powerful enough to obtain the molecular …

The ability to predict accurately the thermal conversion of complex carbonaceous materials
under a wide range of heating rates and temperatures is of value in both petroleum …

In the petroleum industry, the oil fractions are usually complex mixtures containing several
hundreds up to several millions of different chemical species. For this reason, even the most …

Vacuum Gas Oils (VGO) are heavy petroleum cuts (boiling points ranging from 350 to 550˚
C) that can be transformed into valuable fuels (gasolines, diesels) by fluid catalytic cracking …

To fully advance our understanding of hydrocarbon conversion chemistry requires powerful
analytical methods to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize complex petroleum …
