Preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles by plasma method and employment as a catalyst composited with reduced graphene oxide in refining crude oil.

Abstract

Graphene oxide flake (GO) was preparation from graphite powder and reduced to graphene oxide (rGO) by Hydrazine hydrate. Fe2O3NPs were prepared by cold plasma method from its salt, iron chloride and mixing with rGO for 24 hour to form the composite with different concentrations of metal nanoparticles. All productions are measurements doing , FTIR, UV,FAA, XRD, FE-SEM and EDX technology. Iraqi crude oil are distilled at different temperatures with composites that used as a catalyst . Our study showed remarkable results in improving oil derivatives
