摘      要：The production of heavy and extra-heavy oil is challenging because of the rheological properties that crude oil presents due to its high asphaltene *** upgrading and recovery processes of these unconventional oils are typically water and energy intensive,which makes such processes costly and environmentally *** catalysts could be used to enhance the upgrading and recovery of heavy oil under both in situ and ex situ *** this study,the effect of the Ni-Pd nanocatalysts supported on fumed silica nanoparticles on post-adsorption catalytic thermal cracking of n-C_7 asphaltenes was investigated using a thermogravimetric analyzer coupled with *** performance of catalytic thermal cracking of n-C_7asphaltenes in the presence of NiO and PdO supported on fumed silica nanoparticles was better than on the fumed silica support *** a fixed amount of adsorbed n-C_7asphaltenes（0.2 mg/m～2）,bimetallic nanoparticles showed better catalytic behavior than monometallic nanoparticles,confirming their synergistic *** corrected OzawaFlynn-Wall equation（OFW） was used to estimate the effective activation energies of the catalytic *** mechanism function,kinetic parameters,and transition state thermodynamic functions for the thermal cracking process of n-C_7 asphaltenes in the presence and absence of nanoparticles are investigated.
