Abstract: Using the No.1 vacuum cut as raw material,the technology for preparation of phase change wax with low melting point by urea dewaxing were studied. The results showed that the optimum process conditions was that the complexation temperature was 25 ℃,the adding amount of urea solution was 91%,the composition of urea solution was m(urea):m(isopropyl alcohol):m(water)=45:35:20,the reaction time was 60min,the mass ratio of washing solvent to oil was 76%. Under these conditions,the yield of crude wax was 28.2% with a melting point of 29.6 ℃,the mass fraction of n-alkanes in crude wax was 94.9%,and the condensation point of dewaxed oil was less than -60 ℃. The phase change wax with a melting point of 31 ℃, and an enthalpy of 201.9 kJ/kg was obtained after perspiring.

Key words: urea dewaxing, phase change material, latent heat storage, n-alkane, phase change wax, vacuum gas oil
