Asphaltenes Size Polydispersity Reduction by Nano- and Ultrafiltration Separation Methods – Comparison with the Flocculation Method

Abstract: Résumé -Séparation des asphaltènes par nano et ultrafiltration -Comparaison avec la méthode de floculation -Les asphaltènes contiennent une multitude de composés très polydisperses en terme de composition chimique et en terme de taille, ce qui rend leurs propriétés et leur comportement difficiles à décrire. Afin de mieux caractériser ces espèces, une voie envisagée est de réduire cette polydispersité. Dans cette étude, nous avons proposé deux approches différentes : la floculation (en faisant appel à des solva… Show more

“…One solution for future work is to develop new tools to recover a larger amount of narrow sized asphaltenes. (Marques et al, 2008) have proposed the use of membranes to filtrate asphaltene solutions in toluene. Nanofiltration was also proposed by Shaw (Zhao and Shaw, 2007) allowing the partition of the crude oil without any solvent addition.…”

“…Asphaltene solution polydispersity has been evaluated using ultracentrifugation [20,25] or nano-filtration [32] fractionation followed by a SAXS analysis of the fractions. It has been found that size distribution is large and obeys a power law.…”

“…Membrane conditioning was first performed using toluene, at 10 bar and 25°C. In a previous work (Marques et al, 2008), toluene was found to be adequate for asphaltene dispersion and to be compatible with the membrane material. Normapur TM 99.5%, VWR toluene was used after distillation and water elimination using a VWR Prolabo 3 Å molecular sieve.…”

“…In a recent work, ultrafiltration was found to be an adequate technique to separate asphaltene aggregates with different sizes at high selectivity in a lab-scale batch membrane filtration unit (Marques et al, 2008). Using nanofiltration techniques, other relevant recent studies searched to relate the impact of asphaltene aggregate size on coke deposition on hydroprocessing catalysts Shaw, 2007, 2008).…”
