The catalytic deacidification of acidic crude oil using Cu-doped alkaline earth metal oxide catalysts

Naphthenic acids (NAs) tend to cause operational problems that can lead to the deactivation of catalysts. To overcome the problem, catalytic deacidification was introduced utilizing an ammonia solution in ethylene glycol with the aids of alkaline earth metal catalyst with alumina as a support. The i...
