Macroporous kaolin is studied as a convenient substrate for adsorption of petroleum heavy ends in relation to feasible upgrading processes. Understanding the parameters that control adsorption of polar molecules over different adsorption media is important for process optimization. In these regards, adsorption kinetics of small molecular mass anilines (
