with further column chromatography allowed obtaining concentrate of
vanadylporphyrins from asphaltenes of heavy sulfurous oils with high
vanadium content. The prevailing types of vanadylporphyrins, their
ratio, and molecular mass distribution were determined. The influence
of obtained vanadylporphyrin concentrates on the stability of asphaltenes
in the system “solvent/precipitator” was investigated.
Kinetic studies using UV–vis spectroscopy have revealed that
an increase in the content of vanadylporphyrins in asphaltenes leads
to acceleration of their deposition from solution and destabilization
of colloidal systems.
