Harnessing the Power of Microwave Irradiation: A Novel Approach to Bitumen Partial Upgrading

Harnessing the Power of Microwave Irradiation: A Novel Approach to Bitumen Partial Upgrading

The partial upgrading of “tar-like” Canadian bitumen is an essential process to reduce its viscosity to an acceptable range that meets the required pipeline specifications. An innovative and potentially greener solution has emerged in the form of microwave irradiation. This work proposes and demonst...
