ABSTRACT

Ozonation is a possible way of changing the chemical composition and physicochemical properties of crude oil. Processes that place in oil during ozonation are sufficiently described in several papers [1-5]. Some properties that oil has after ozonation can be useful for industry that is why the investigation of petroleum ozonation is actual. For example, ozonated oil can be used as reagents for commercial oil demulsification [1], for sulfurcontaining compounds removing [3], and so forth. In this work we show the possibility of regulation of oil’s foaming properties by ozone treatment.
