Influence of basic catalysts on the decarboxylation kinetics of naphthenic acids

Processing of high acidity oils causes corrosion problems in transfer pipelines and distillation units. In this work, the basicity of MgO has been increased by means of humid impregnation with alkaline earth metals. The influence on the decarboxylation reaction of a solution with mineral oil and nap...
