Assessment of the synthesis method of Fe₃O₄ nanocatalysts and its effectiveness in viscosity reduction and heavy oil upgrading.

ABSTRACT: In this research, Fe₃O₄ nanocatalysts were synthesized systematically microwave-assisted. The effectiveness of the synthesized nanocatalysts in reducing viscosity and upgrading heavy oil was evaluated. The nanocatalysts were investigated for their magnetic and electromagnetic properties. The impact of microwave radiation's time and power on the size and purity of nanocatalysts was investigated. The purities in the crystal network of Fe₃O₄ nanocatalysts expanded as a result of reducing microwave radiation time and power due to less heat production. Increased temperature leads to dope NH₄Cl into the Fe₃O₄ nanocatalysts crystal network. At: 1 min and power of 400 watts the most satisfactory results in the size and pu
