ABSTRACT

In this study, the effect of heating rate, oil chemical composition, and clay mineral type on thermokinetic behaviors of oil oxidation was investigated by TG and DTA tests. The results show that temperature intervals of reactions are extended and peak and burnout temperatures are shifted to higher values when increasing the heating rate. Heavier oil with more heavy components exhibits faster reaction rate and higher energy requirement in the low-temperature oxidation stage, and releases more heat in the high-temperature oxidation stage. The catalytic properties and surface area effect of clays can positively influence the high-pressure air injection process through forming more carbonaceous deposits and lowering the activation energy of reactions.
