Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From the perspective of diversification of energy resources, a technological development which can convert unused fossil resources into useful fuels has been required. Especially, oil sand bitumen is one of the promising candidates, of which the deposit is larger than that of the petroleum. Consequently, we have developed iron oxide (FeOx) composite catalysts which can convert heavy oil into lighter fuel. In this study, Ti-Fe and Ti-Zr mixed-oxide catalysts were newly developed for oxidative and acid-catalyzed cracking of oil sand bitumen into lighter fuels, respectively. Moreover, it was revealed that the sub-critical water condition was efficient for suppressing coke formation. We also investigated the major reaction pathways for decomposition of bitumen over FeOx-based catalyst under sub-critical water condition, by the numerical simulation based on the lamping model.
