摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of improving a heavy hydrocarbon, such as bitumen, to a lighter more fluid product and, more specifically, to a final hydrocarbon product that is refinery-ready and meets pipeline transport criteria without the addition of diluent. A solid asphaltene by-product is created for easy handling and further processing. The invention is targeted to enhance Canadian bitumen, but has general application in improving any heavy hydrocarbon. The process comprises: (a) pre-heating a process fluid in a heater to a designed temperature; (b) moving the pre-heated process fluid to a reactor, and optimally converting asphaltenes in the process fluid within the reactor to produce a stream of thermally affected asphaltene-nch fraction( s), and a stream of non-condensible vapour and lighter liquid hydrocarbon(s); (c) deasphalting the thermally affected asphaltene-nch stream with a solvent extraction process into a stream of heavy deasphalted oil (DAO) and a second stream containing concentrated asphaltene; (d) separating dry thermally affected asphaltene solids from the second stream in a separation unit, recovering the process solvent; (e) a produced refinery feedstock comprising at least one of the produced streams.

A process for the production of coated carbonaceous particles including: providing a carbon residue forming material; providing particles of a carbonaceous material; mixing the carbon residue forming material and the particles of a carbonaceous material at an elevated temperature; depositing a coating of the carbon residue forming material onto the surface of the particles; and stabilizing the coated particles by subjecting the particles to an oxidation reaction. These coated carbonaceous particles are particularly useful in the manufacture of electrodes in electrical storage cells, particularly in rechargeable electrical storage cells.

The present invention discloses a hot recycling heating method for old asphalt mixture, comprising: mixing old asphalt mixture with hot asphalt, with the temperature of the hot asphalt being higher than the temperature of the old asphalt mixture, but not higher than the standard temperature of heating asphalt; and heating the old asphalt mixture by heat exchange between the hot asphalt and the old asphalt mixture. The method is essentially featured by mixing the old asphalt mixture with the hot asphalt to result in gapless contact between the old asphalt mixture and the hot asphalt, thus the purpose of heating the old asphalt mixture by a gapless heat exchange environment between the hot asphalt and the old asphalt is reached; in addition, the method revolutionizes the traditional recycling heating modes for old asphalt, significantly reduces the degree of degradation in the performance of the old asphalt mixture during a heating process, improves the pavement performance of the old asphalt mixture, greatly reduces generation and emission of asphalt fume during a heating process, and avoids or reduces pollution and damage to natural environment.

摘要:
The invention concerns a hot air device for thermowelding membranes to surfaces. It includes an air inlet, a casing in fluid communication therewith, a combustion chamber mounted within the casing and spaced apart therefrom. The chamber has perforations allowing air to flow therein. The perforations allow some air to flow into the upstream section of the chamber producing an air-fuel mixture, and let the remaining air into the downstream section, thus shortening the flame within the chamber and producing hot air. The device includes an outlet portion for expelling hot air and not allowing a flame out therefrom, and a blower to force airflow from the air inlet through the chamber and out from the nozzle. The chamber may be pyramid or cone shaped and have a deflector to help direct air into the upstream section.
