    Maximizing enhanced oil recovery via oxidative cracking of crude oil: employing air injection and H2O2 with response surface methodology optimization
    (IOP publishing, 2024) Nouari, Omar; Hammadou née Mesdour, Souad; Boudjemaa, Hamada
    The utilization of air injection as a method to enhance oil recovery in oil fields has gained prominence due to its cost-effectiveness and widespread availability, particularly in heavy oil production. This study focuses on optimizing the oxidative cracking process of Algerian crude oil by employing air injection supplemented with H2O2 and analyzing the interaction of key operating parameters like temperature and catalyst amount using response surface methodology. The predicted values derived from the response functions closely aligned with experimental data, demonstrating high accuracy (R2= 0.9727 for liquid oil, R2= 0.9176 for residue, and R2= 0.7399 for gas phases). Using the developed second-order model, optimal conditions were determined through contour and surface plots, as well as regression equation analysis using Design software. At these optimal parameters (14.78 wt% of H2O2, 2 l min−1 of air flow, 100 ml of crude oil at 354.05 °C for 40 min), the oxidative cracking process yielded 96.32% liquid oil, 3.018% residue, and 0.662% gas products. Notably, the experimental produced liquid oil constituted 96.07 vol. %, matching well with the optimization outcomes. Physicochemical analysis of liquid product phase obtained from oxidative cracking process of petroleum confirmed the prevalence of light aliphatic compounds(C2-C11) at 70.59%, alongside 29.41% of C12-C36. The process also resulted in reduced viscosity, density, refractive index, and sulfur content in the liquid phase. The combination of air injection and H2O2 showcases promise in recovering residual oil effectively and contributes to the ongoing advancements in EOR techniques.

    Valorization of polyethylene waste by vacuum cracking
    (Taylor and Francis, 2022) Dahou, Meriem; Hammadou née Mesdour, Souad; Kaddour, Omar; Mimoun, Hadj
    In this study, polyethylene-pyrolysis was investigated under vacuum to yield cracking-oils as substitutes for petro-diesel. At 430 °C and 670 mmHg, highest yield of 86.68% liquid, 6.46% of residues and 6.86% of gas fractions were obtained. The liquid-fraction composition (180–350 °C) was dominated by paraffinic and olefin, as confirmed by GC–MS. The fuel qualities were analyzed using ASTM standards and then compared to the commercial-diesel. The depolymerized oil characteristics are similar to conventional-fuel except for the density, which was increase by adding an appropriate amount of petro-fuel. This process could significantly serves in managing wastes to produce clean-fuels

    Liquid-liquid extraction and simultaneously spectrophotometric determination of Co (II) and W (VI) using crown ether (DB-18-C6) in aqueous media and in high speed steel
    (Taylor and Francis Online, 2020) Saoud, Abdesselam; Hammadou née Mesdour, Souad; Arzu, Nabieva; Boudjema, Hamada; Abdeltif, Amrane; Nabiev, Mohamed
    An analytical reagent ether crown DB-18-C-6 was extensively used forthe simultaneous and individual extraction and spectrophotometricdetermination of the tungsten and cobalt at microgram levels. Theligand reacts with two metals, and the ion-association systems wereextractable into chloroform giving a yellowish [(DB-18-C-6∙NH4)+2[WO(SCN)5]2]and[(DB-18-C-6∙NH4)+2[Co(SCN)4]2-]complexes.Theabsorption peaks of these complexes were found overlapping atλmax of 415 nm and 621.6 nm, respectively. Under optimum condi-tions, the [WO(SCN)4]2-] complexation and extraction are possible onlyin concentrated medium (2.5 M of HCl). While, the [Co(SCN)4]2-]wasextractable at a pH range of 4–10. The linear ranges were 29.45–-147.25μgmL−1for Co(II) and 1.8–183 μg/mL for W(VI) with molarabsorptivity,ε=1.7×104andε=1.6×104dm3mol−1cm−1,respec-tively. The accuracy and reproducibility of the proposed method forvarious amounts of cobalt and tungstenintheirbinarymixtureweretested, and the effects of diverse ions on their extraction were alsoinvestigated. The developed method was successfully applied for thesimultaneous determination of Co(II) and W(VI) in high-speed steel(HS2-9-1-8) containing 2% W, 9% Mo, 1% V, and 8% Co.
