TREATMENT OF KEROSEN FROM YEMENI – (ALIF FIELD) MARIB CRUDE OIL USING ZEOLITE CATALYST

Abstract

Regarding the investigation of Yemen crude Oil, we found that Marib crude oil was the best one. Based on the information we started to treat Kerosene from Marib Crude Oil using zeolite catalyst because this catalyst is the best one referring to the references. Many bifunctional catalysts in recent studies have been prepared using a single method, it is important to note that different preparation methods can have an influence on their behavior during the process and the properties of the fuels they produce. We used several methods of analysis, such as Catalyst Preparation, Method of Impregnation, Sol – gel Method, in addition we studied Catalyst characterization. The results showed that the acidic sites of Y-zeolites would be thus affecting its catalytic efficiency in reforming process. One of the main reasons for production of higher products was the concentration of Bronsted acid targets in the catalyst. In this study, the catalyst is synthesized the SG method had Bronsted acid sites, resulting in effect of this solvent on their acid sites. Although less jet fuel was produced over the catalyst produced by the IM method (75. 81%), the fuel was higher quality is allowed aromatic and high of naphthens, which were associated with less the Bronsted acid sites of this catalyst.
