Supercritical Water Treatment of Crude Oil and Hexylbenzene: An Experimental and Mechanistic Study on Alkylbenzene Decomposition

Supercritical Water Treatment of Crude Oil and Hexylbenzene: An Experimental and Mechanistic Study on Alkylbenzene Decomposition

High concentrations of fuel-range hydrocarbons may be recovered from heavier alkyl-aromatic compounds in crude oil after supercritical water (SCW) treatment. Arabian Heavy (AH) crude oil was treated in SCW and analyzed using two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC-FID). Cracking mechanisms were...
