The low-temperature oxidation (LTO) of heavy oil is of great significance for the combustion front stability, which directly influences the efficiency and safety of in-situ combustion (ISC). To provide feasible heating by artificial ignition before the implementation of ISC in the Xinjiang Fengcheng (FC) oilfields, this paper investigates the oxidation behavior of FC extra-heavy oil and its isothermal oxidized oils. Firstly, FC extra-heavy oil was subjected to isothermal oxidation experiments conducted utilizing an oxidation reactor, and the physical properties of the gaseous products and oxidized oils were analyzed. The combustion behavior of the FC extra-heavy oil and oxidized oils was then studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. Subsequently, the Friedman and Ozawa–Flynn–Wall methods were adopted to perform kinetic analysis. Oxygen consumption was always greater than the production of CO and CO2, so oxygen addition reactions were the main pathway in heavy oil LTO. H/C decreased to 8.31% from 20.94% when the oxidation temperature rose from 50 °C to 150 °C, which deepened the oxidation degree. The density and viscosity of 200 °C to 350 °C oxidized oils increased at a slower rate, which may be related to the LTO heat effect. The change law of temperature interval, peak temperature, and mass loss of the oxidized oils had a good correlation with the static oxidation temperature. Compared with other oxidized oils, the peak heat flow and enthalpy of 350 °C oxidized oil increased significantly with high-temperature combustion, and were 42.4 mW/mg and 17.77 kJ/mol, respectively. The activation energy of 350 °C oxidized oil began to decrease obviously around a conversion rate of 0.4, which indicates that it was beneficial to coke deposition with stronger activity. Finally, we came up with LTO reaction mechanisms and put forward a reasonable preheating temperature for the application of ISC in FC oilfields.

It is anticipated that laser cladding assisted with preheat (LCAP)-deposited Tribaloy (T-800) composite coatings enhances resistance to structural degradation upon exposure to elevated-temperature oxidation service environments. The oxidation kinetics of LCAP T-800 composite coatings deposited on EN8 substrate and its mechanisms have not been explored in severe conditions that are similar to operational parameters. The isothermal oxidation behaviour of the T-800 composite coating deposited on EN8 via LCAP was studied at 800 °C in air for up to 120 h (5 × 24 h cycles) and contrasted to that of uncoated samples. The mass gain per unit area of the coating was eight times less than that of the uncoated EN8 substrate. The parabolic rate constant (Kp) for EN8 was 6.72 × 10−12 g2·cm−4·s−1, whilst that for the T-800 composite coating was 8.1 × 10−13 g2·cm−4·s−1. This was attributed to a stable chromium oxide (Cr2O3) layer that formed on the coating surface, thereby preventing further oxidation, whilst the iron oxide film that formed on the EN8 substrate allowed the permeation of the oxygen ions into the oxide. The iron oxide (Fe2O3) film that developed on EN8 spalled, as evidenced by the cracking of oxide when the oxidation time was greater than 72 h, whilst the Cr2O3 film maintained its integrity up to 120 h. A parabolic law was observed by the T-800 composite coating, whilst a paralinear law was reported for EN8 at 800 °C up to 120 h. This coating can be used in turbine parts where temperatures are <800 °C.

High-temperature oxidation was performed at temperatures from 600 to 750 °C over a period of 24 h and 72 h. It was shown in the study that the oxide scale became more homogeneous and covered the entire surface as the oxidation temperature increased. After oxidation over a period of 24 h, the hardness of the produced layers increased as the oxidation temperature increased (from 892.4 to 1146.6 kgf/mm2). During oxidation in a longer time variant (72 h), layers with a higher hardness were obtained (1260 kgf/mm2). Studies on friction and wear characteristics of titanium were conducted using couples with ceramic balls (Al2O3, ZrO2) and with high-carbon steel (100Cr6) balls. The oxide films produced at a temperature range of 600–750 °C led to a reduction of the wear ratio value, with the lowest one obtained in tests with the 100Cr6 steel balls. Frictional contact of Al2O3 balls with an oxidized titanium disc resulted in a reduction of the wear ratio, but only for the oxide scales produced at 600 °C (24 h, 72 h) and 650 °C (24 h). For the ZrO2 balls, an increase in the wear ratio was observed, especially when interacting with the oxide films obtained after high-temperature oxidation at 650 °C or higher temperatures. The increase in wear intensity after titanium oxidation was also observed for the 100Cr6 steel balls.

Tantalum (Ta) can be use a suture for operation and implant material in order not to react with body fluid and stimulate a human body. In this study, the stable oxide of a tantalum, tantalum oxide layer produced by oxidation of the tantalum nitride, TaN powders by high temperature oxidation were investigated in order to determine the possibility of its a distributed aid for biomaterial composite such as an artificial root etc. The sample, TaN powder oxidized at high temperature exhibited a steady mass gain with increasing oxidation temperature. Based on the results of the XRD, tantalum oxide, Ta2O5 was detected on the samples. It is considered, the TaN showed a good oxidation film produced by high temperature oxidation.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the thermal oxidation characteristics of the unsaturated bonds (C=C) of trimethylolpropane trioleate (TMPTO) and to reveal the high temperature oxidation decay mechanism of unsaturated esters and the nature of the anti-oxidation properties of the additives. Design/methodology/approach Using a DXR laser microscopic Raman spectrometer and Linkam FTIR600 temperature control platform, the isothermal oxidation experiments of TMPTO with or without 1.0 wt. % of different antioxidants were performed. Findings The results indicated that the Raman peaks of =C-H, C=C and -CH2- weaken gradually with prolonged oxidation time, and the corresponding Raman intensities drop rapidly at higher temperatures. The aromatic amine antioxidant can decrease the attenuation of peak intensity, as it significantly reduces the rate constant of C=C thermal oxidation. The hindered phenolic antioxidant has a protective effect during the early stages of oxidation (induction period), but it may accelerate the oxidation of C=C afterwards. Originality/value Research on the structure changes of synthetic esters during oxidation by Raman spectroscopy will be of great importance in promoting the use of Raman spectroscopy to analyze the oxidation of lubricants.
