초록

본 연구에서는 접촉식 가수열분해 반응을 이용하여 원유를 감압증류한 후 생산되는 고점도의 감압잔사유(VR)의 개질반응을 실시하였다. 감압잔사유는 30 bar, $300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 24 h 동안 수증기(steam)와 반응하면, 구성성분 중에서 레진류와 아스팔텐류가 감소하고, 포화탄화수소류(saturates)나 방향족탄화수소류(aromatics)가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이때 스팀 양이 적은 경우에는 가수열분해 반응 후 아스팔텐 함량이 증가되는 역반응 효과도 관측되었다. 수소공여제인 데칼린을 사용하며 메탈옥사이드-제올라이트계 촉매를 사용하는 접촉식 가수열분해 반응 결과 레진과 아스팔텐류가 10% 정도 줄고 방향족 탄화수소류가 10% 증가하면서 점도 감소효과도 70% 정도로 우수하였다. GC-Mass spectroscopy를 이용하여 촉매 사용 시 가수열분해 반응 결과 분자량이 적은 물질로의 분해효과가 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the reforming reaction of vacuum residues (VR), high viscosity oil residues produced from vacuum distillation process of petroleum oil, was carried out using catalytic aquathermolysis reaction. VR showed a prone to decrease the amount of resins and asphaltenes in the constituents, and to increase saturates and aromatics when reacting with steam at 30 bar and above $300^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. When the amount of steam is not enough at this reaction, the asphaltene content in the products was rather increased after the reaction. As a result of the catalytic aquathermolysis using the metal oxide-zeolite catalyst with the decaline as a hydrogen donor, a 10% decrease in resin and asphaltene as well as a 10% increase in the aromatic hydrocarbon were observed. Consequently, the viscosity of VR decreased by 70% after the reaction. GC-Mass spectroscopy showed that the aquathermolysis of VR resulted in the decomposition of the resins and asphaltens into a low molecular weight material.
