Plastics waste has become a major environmental threat, with polyethylene being one of the
most produced and hardest to recycle plastics. Hydrogenolysis is potentially the most viable …

Using copper stearate as catalysts, catalytic in-situ combustion (ISC) of heavy oil was
studied by porous medium thermo-effect cell (PMTEC) and combustion tube experiments …

Air injection as a thermal method for heavy oil recovery has a long history of about a century.
However, it has not been widely applied in oilfields to date because of many challenges …

Low-temperature oxidation (LTO) is of great significance for the subsequent oxidation
reactions and oil recovery during in-situ combustion. The paper brings an in-depth analysis …

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can be used to obtain a variety of thermodynamic or
kinetic data of petroleum products. The application of DSC to petroleum fluids includes …

To better understand in-situ combustion (ISC) theory and reveal the oxidation behavior and
mechanism of Hongqian (HQ) heavy crude oil, the thermo-oxidative characteristics and …

Oil oxidation reactions have attracted considerable interest in terms of mechanism
comprehension for thermally enhanced oil recovery applications. Many hypotheses …

We introduce the oxidation of long aliphatic alkanes using non-thermal, atmospheric plasma
processing as an eco-friendly route for organic synthesis. A pulsed dielectric barrier …

In this work, the conversion/combustion behavior and kinetics of oil shale and its
components (bitumen, kerogen, and bitumen-free oil shale) were investigated under air …

The thermo-oxidative characteristics and kinetics of crude oil directly affected the
combustion performance and oil upgrading. This paper brought an in-depth analysis …
