Vaseline Oils as Absorbents of Liquid Hydrocarbons from Natural and Artificial (Pyrolysis) Gases

The study explores various methods for removing C5+ liquid hydrocarbons from both natural and synthetic (pyrolysis-derived) gases. It also addresses the main challenges and inefficiencies associated with the currently used technologies. In particular, the proposed approach shows promise for purifying pyrolysis gases, such as methane or hydrogen. The research focuses on the physical and chemical properties of commercial vaseline oils and their potential use as absorbents for C5+ hydrocarbons. A correlation has been identified between the hydrocarbon chain length and the absorption efficiency of vaseline oils.
