Processing and thermodynamics research. Volume II. Monthly progress report, October 1984
A detailed list of materials was prepared, data and information that will be gathered for analysis in the study (Project BPT1) that relates feedstock to product slate. A meeting of the sponsors Steering Committee gave broad support to the research direction presented. Discussions were held with Professor Lloyd Lee at the University of Oklahoma on possible future cooperation of this work with his correlation and model studies. Mass spectrometry efforts (Project BPT2) centered on establishing the performance characteristics of the MS-50 as pertains to quantitative ultra-high dynamic resolution low voltage EI analysis with this system. A complete review of all chemical separations done to date on Wilmington and Mayan crudes revealed a few inconsistencies, and a few repeat experiments are in progress to resolve them (Project OPT2). Preparations are being made for thiophene separations from the 425/sup 0/ to 550/sup 0/C Cerro Negro neutrals (Project OPT2). A review of the progress on the chemistry of contaminated fuels project (Project OPT4) was held with DOD personnel. The acid fractions of the various distillates from contaminated diesel fuel have been shown to be corrosive in copper strip testing. Biological activity was also established as one source of corrosion problems. Stability test technique development focused on the type of filter materials that will withstand the accelerated aging conditions (65/sup 0/C) for several weeks. Thermodynamic studies on hetero-atom compounds continued with experimental work in progress on 2,5-dimethylpyridine, 2,5-dimethylpyrrole, 2,3-benzofuran, and 3-methylpyrrolidine (Project BPT3A and BPT3B). Vapor liquid-equilibria measurements continue on hydrogen and a 450/sup 0/ to 950/sup 0/F cut from the Wilsonville, AL coal liquefaction plant (Project OPT3).
