Chemical refining

Nanomaterials are widely used in the chemical industry, petroleum refining and other fields. They can improve the efficiency of chemical synthesis and improve the efficiency, selectivity and environmental friendliness of the petroleum processing and production process.

1) Catalyst: Nanomaterials can be used as catalysts to promote chemical reactions. Nanocatalysts have high specific surface area and excellent reactivity, which can increase reaction rate, selectivity and yield. In the refining process, nanocatalysts are widely used in catalytic reactions such as cracking, hydrogenation, and deoxygenation.

2) Separation membrane: Nanomaterials can be used to prepare efficient separation membranes to achieve molecular-level separation and purification. In the refining process, nano-separation membranes can be applied to the separation of gases and liquids, such as gas separation, solvent recovery and wastewater treatment.

3) Coating materials: Nanomaterials can be used to prepare functional coating materials to provide anti-corrosion, wear-resistant, flame-retardant and other properties. In the refining process, nano-coating materials can be applied to the surface protection of pipelines, reactors and equipment to extend their service life and improve safety.

4) Toughening agent: Nanomaterials can be used as toughening agents to improve the strength and durability of petrochemical products. For example, adding nanoparticles or nanofibers to polymer matrices can enhance the mechanical properties and chemical resistance of plastics, rubbers and composites.

5) Sensors: Nanomaterials can be used to prepare highly sensitive sensors for monitoring parameters such as temperature, pressure, and fluid properties during the chemical refining process. Nanosensors can provide real-time monitoring data to help optimize production processes and improve product quality.
