Abstract
⺠Nanoparticles of nickel oxide supported on a nanoparticulated matrix of alumina (SHS) were prepared. ⺠Adsorption affinity increased with increasing the NiO content on the alumina surface. ⺠Alumina-SHS nanomaterials can be used as excellent adsorbents for light and heavy oil upgrading. ⺠Complete asphaltenes sorption on Alumina-SHS can be achieved rapidly around 2 min. ⺠The asphaltenes sorption processes were analyzed in terms of isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamics models.
