Exploring metal nanocomposites for asphaltene removal: the role of Cu-BTC, CoMn <sub>2</sub> O <sub>4</sub> and K-OMS-2 in the adsorption and oxidation of asphaltenes
Asphaltenes, the most polar and complex class of compounds in petroleum crude oils, pose significant challenges in refining processes due to their tendency to precipitate, causing fouling, clogging, and corrosion in pipelines and reactors.
