Abstract

Alkali treating of petroleum distillates is carried out to obtain the advantages of the product purity and to improve performance. The use and quality of alkaline solutions must be controlled since metal ions present as impurities can catalyze low temperature oxidation and polymerization of olefinic compounds; leading to formation of heavy emulsions which tend to deposit in hydrocarbon phases and eventually to block the handling systems. The effects of the variable factors ''time, temperature, antioxidant and anticorrosion additives'' were studied. The addition of a small amount of methanol was found to retard the deposit formation.

Halloysite Clay Nanotubes for Loading and Sustained Release of Functional Compounds

Journal Article Lvov, Yuri; Wang, Wencai; Zhang, Liqun; ... - Advanced Materials

Halloysite is an alumosilicate tubular clay with a diameter of 50 nm, an inner lumen of 15 nm and a length of 600-900 nm. It is a natural biocompatible nanomaterial available in thousands of tons at low price, which makes it a good candidate for nanoarchitectural composites. The inner lumen of halloysite may be adjusted by etching to 20-30% of the tube volume and loading with functional agents (antioxidants, anticorrosion agents, flame-retardant agents, drugs, or proteins) allowing for formulations with sustained release tuned by the tube end-stoppers for hours and days. Clogging the tube ends in polymeric composites allows furthermore »« less

Single-Step Syngas-to-Distillates (S2D) Synthesis via Methanol and Dimethyl Ether Intermediates: Final Report

Technical Report Dagle, Robert; Lebarbier, Vanessa; Lizarazo Adarme, Jair; ...

The objective of the work was to enhance price-competitive, synthesis gas (syngas)-based production of transportation fuels that are directly compatible with the existing vehicle fleet (i.e., vehicles fueled by gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, etc.). To accomplish this, modifications to the traditional methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process were investigated. In this study, we investigated direct conversion of syngas to distillates using methanol and dimethyl ether intermediates. For this application, a Pd/ZnO/Al2O3 (PdZnAl) catalyst previously developed for methanol steam reforming was evaluated. The PdZnAl catalyst was shown to be far superior to a conventional copper-based methanol catalyst when operated at relatively high temperatures (i.e.,more »« less

Acid base phenomena in oxidative stability of distillate fuel

Conference Hazlett, R - American Chemical Society, Division of Petroleum Chemistry, Preprints; (USA)

Military fuels are frequently stored for several years in strategic reserves. Over such extended periods of time, small but significant changes in fuel properties can occur. One important property which changes with time is insolubles content. Formation of insolubles is an indication of chemical reactions in a fuel, reactions which are triggered by air oxidation. Degradation of fuels in this manner is an important aspect of fuel instability. Stabilizing antioxidants may be used to reduce the extent of deposit formation in middle distillate fuels. Specific additives, such as phenylenediamines and hindered phenols, have been allowed in some military specification. Additivemore »« less
Effect of fuel and lubricant composition on engine deposit formation

Conference Spilners, I; Hedenburg, J - Am. Chem. Soc., Div. Pet. Chem., Prepr.; (United States)

All primary chemical reactants, including fuel, base oil, lubricant additives and air, were evaluated and considered as possible sources or causes of deposits. Tendencies of deposit formation could be determined in a 48-hour test using a modified single cylinder CLR oil test engine under conditions which had been found to give a high blow-by rate and produce a crankcase atmosphere rich in nitrogen oxides and incompletely burned or raw fuel. In the engine tests of this study, incomplete combustion of fuel was found to contribute more to deposits than decomposition of lubricant. Olefins caused heavier deposits than other types ofmore »« less
Alkali or alkaline earth metal promoted catalyst and a process for methanol synthesis using alkali or alkaline earth metals as promoters

Patent Tierney, John; Wender, Irving; Palekar, Vishwesh

The present invention relates to a novel route for the synthesis of methanol, and more specifically to the production of methanol by contacting synthesis gas under relatively mild conditions in a slurry phase with a heterogeneous catalyst comprising reduced copper chromite impregnated with an alkali or alkaline earth metal. There is thus no need to add a separate alkali or alkaline earth compound. The present invention allows the synthesis of methanol to occur in the temperature range of approximately 100.degree.-160.degree. C. and the pressure range of 40-65 atm. The process produces methanol with up to 90% syngas conversion per passmore »« less
