ORGANIC COOLANT RECLAMATION. 9th Quarterly Progress Report, March 15, 1961 to June 15, 1961
Research on reclamation methods during this quarter covered work on fractionation, hydrocracking, partial reduction, product evaluation, and design and construction of a micro pilot plant for reclamation of high boilers using solvent distribution techniques. Various commercial petroleum solvents were used in solubility studies to determine whether the source of solvent varied the yield. It was found that a higher yield of reclaimed material per gallon of solvent can be obtained at a lower cost with a solvent system containing some alicyclic compounds. ORME high boiler could not be hydrocracked above 500 deg C and at elevated pressures because product yields were low, coke yields were high, and catalyst life was short. The effects of heat and hydrogen on hydrocracking were determined. At 500 deg C and 1500 psig, hydrocracking of reclaimed high boiler gave high product yields, low coke, and low gas yields. Hydrocracking of partially reduced high boiler gave high product yield, low coke, and low gas yield. Analyses of high boiler and reclamation products for trace amounts of oxygen using a pyrolytic technique were obtained. (M.C.G.)
