Processing and thermodynamics research, Volume II. Monthly progress report, November 1984
Data assembly is in progress on the Venezuelan Cerro Negro, California, Wilmington and Mexican Mayan crudes. A draft of a proposal is in preparation that might join this correlational work with complementary correlational work at the University of Oklahoma (Project BPT1). Cerro Negro 200 to 425/sup 0/C and 425 to 550/sup 0/C saturate fractions were analyzed with the CEC 21-103 mass spectrometer using ASTM method D2786, and experiments were devised to establish reproducibility of analyses with the KRATOS MS-50 (Project BPT2). Thermodynamic property measurements on organic nitrogen compounds included a liquid phase heat capacity study of 2,5-dimethylpyridine, and the oxygen sensitivity of phenanthridine was checked prior to bomb calorimetry (Project BPT3A). Heat capacity measurements on chroman are progressing well, and vapor pressure measurements of tetrahydrophenanthrene are in progress (Project BPT3B). Work was begun on the design and procurement of equipment necessary for construction of a bench scale catalytic cracking unit. The supercritical extraction unit is being assembled (Project OPT1). Thiopene separations were begun on Cerro Negro 425 to 550/sup 0/C neutrals, and separation of sulfides from Cerro Negro 550 to 700/sup 0/C and 700+/sup 0/C neutrals was completed (Project OPT2). Preparations for PVT studies of methanol are nearing completion, and a list of critically needed PVT measurements was reviewed to help select the next compound for study. A possible candidate is hydrogen sulfide. (Project OPT3). Good progress continues in the treatment of the RP feed (Project OPT4) to recover Milspec F-76. It is anticipated that 85% recovery is possible by the chemical treatment/distillation process.
