Catalytic study of Ni/Ce/Al2O3 and Ni/Ca/Al2O3 on the removal of naphthenic acid from petroleum crude oil utilizing sodium thiocyanate in ethanol
The naphthenic acids (NAs) present in the crude oil can lead to the corrosion problems in oil refinery equipment apart from reduces the performances of the oil. In this study, the method to remove NA were done by means of extraction using sodium thiocyanate in ethanol with the aid of Ni/Ca/Al2O3 and...

| description | The naphthenic acids (NAs) present in the crude oil can lead to the corrosion problems in oil refinery equipment apart from reduces the performances of the oil. In this study, the method to remove NA were done by means of extraction using sodium thiocyanate in ethanol with the aid of Ni/Ca/Al2O3 and Ni/Ce/Al2O3 catalysts at 27 °C reaction temperature. The catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method (IWI) and calcined at three different temperature, 800, 900 and 1000 °C respectively. The efficiency of the extraction was affected by the catalyst calcination temperature. Both catalysts calcined at 800 and 900 °C gave total acid number (TAN) value more than 1 mg KOH/g while by using Ni/Ca(10:90)/Al2O3 and Ni/Ce(10:90)/Al2O3 calcined at 1000 °C the TAN value were reduced to 0.28 and 0.65 mg KOH/g respectively. Brunauer-Emmett Teller (BET) result shows both catalysts have large surface area that provide more reaction cites when calcined at 1000 °C. X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy (XRD) analysis of Ni/Ca/Al2O3 catalyst revealed that the active site was dominated by the Al2O3 species while CeO2 was the active site for Ni/Ce/Al2O3 catalyst. In conclusion, both catalysts reduced the TAN value of acidic crude oil efficiently. |
