Abstract
The kinetics of asphaltene precipitation was investigated for five crude oils diluted with n-heptane at 21 °C in air and nitrogen atmospheres. The onset of precipitation, defined as the precipitant (n-heptane) content at which detectable asphaltene particles first appear, was measured in air at different contact times using optical microscopy and a gravimetric method. Asphaltene yields (mass asphaltene/mass oil) were measured in air over time...
