“…Similar probability cracking and recombination models are used in thermal cracking and radiation hydrocarbon processing. 36,37 Here the model is applied to alkanes only. This avoids the use of weighting factors for the radiation resistance of aromatic bonds.…”

“…33,34 This could be due to a combined effect of the higher dose rate and higher number density of irradiated compounds. 36,[42][43][44] The combination of a high dose rate and high number density creates ideal conditions for generating reactive species with high concentrations. Whether these species react with each other to produce desirable products depends on the irradiated compounds and specific chemistry associated with it.…”

“…n-Alkanes and nalkenes from meat-derived triglycerides (Barba et al, 2012) have been reported as well as the formation of volatile aromatic compounds (Kim et al, 2005), and various alkyl lipids, including cyclobutanones (Blanch et al, 2009;Crews et al, 2012). Radiolytic cracking of heavy oils and bitumen has been demonstrated to be feasible, although the generation of light hydrocarbons is counterbalanced by heavy polymerization products (Lewan et al, 1991;Zaikin, 2008;Zaikin and Zaikina, 2013).…”

A general trend in the oil industry is a decrease in the proven reserves of light crude oils so that any increase in future oil exploration is associated with high-viscous sulfuric oils and bitumen. Although the world reserves of heavy oil are much greater than those of sweet light oils, their exploration at present is less than 12 % of the total oil recovery. One of the main constraints is very high expenses for the existing technologies of heavy oil recovery, upgrading, transportation, and refining. Heavy oil processing by conventional methods is difficult and requires high power inputs and capital investments. Effective and economic processing of high viscous oil and oil residues needs not only improvements of the existing methods, such as thermal, catalytic and hydro-cracking, but the development of new technological approaches for upgrading and refining of any type of problem oil feedstock. One of the perspective approaches to this problem is the application of ionizing irradiation for high-viscous oil processing. Radiation methods for upgrading and refining high-viscous crude oils and petroleum products in a wide temperature range, oil desulfurization, radiation technology for refining used oil products, and a perspective method for gasoline radiation isomerization are discussed in this paper. The advantages of radiation technology are simple configuration of radiation facilities, low capital and operational costs, processing at lowered temperatures and nearly atmospheric pressure without the use of any catalysts, high production rates, relatively low energy consumption, and flexibility to the type of oil feedstock.
