Abstract
Changes in the structural parameters of tar and asphaltene molecules of sediments obtained after oil dewaxing with liquefied petroleum gas at temperatures of 0, -5, -15 and -25 ° C were studied. It is shown that with a decrease in process temperature the amount of precipitate formed in the process increases from 10.9 to 13.4 mass %; deeper dewaxing, complete deasphalting and partial detarring also take place. It was established that a decrease in precipitation temperature from 0 to -25 ° C causes changes in the structural-group characteristics of asphaltene and resin molecules: molecular mass, the number of aromatic and naphthenic cycles, alkyl substituents and structural blocks in the molecule.
