Abstract

Iraqi petroleum, especially from the Al-Ahdab, has a big problem resulting from its high percentage of heavy metals. In this paper, heavy metals were reduced or removed from Iraqi petroleum using a Ceramic Ball Nano Cobalt Nickel Ferrite Filter (BCNF), synthesized by combining kaolin and palm frond in a 30% ratio with Co0.8Ni0.2Fe2O4 nanoparticles in a various ratios (5, 10, 15, and 20%). The sol-gel technique prepared Co0.8Ni0.2Fe2O4 nanoparticles. The structure and magnetic properties of the material are described using X-RD, FT-IR, and VSM techniques. In addition, the water ab-sorption ratio and apparent porosity were assessed. The results show that the ceramic ball Nano cobalt-nickel ferrite filter reduces V, Ni, and Fe in crude petroleum. As a result, heavy oil has been converted to the lightest petroleum obtainable. These filters will also become more popular because of their low preparation costs, ease of preparation, and ability to remove crude petroleum.
