摘要:
Oxygen compounds are removed, e.g., by solvent extraction, from a shale oil prior to its hydrogenation. As a result, the amount of hydrogen consumed during subsequent hydrogenation to achieve a given level of nitrogen for the shale oil is less than that which would occur if the oxygen compounds were not removed from the shale oil. Removal of the nitrogen is necessary to avoid adverse effects on subsequent shale oil processing steps such as catalytic cracking.

Oxygen compounds are removed, e.g., by extraction, from a coal liquid prior to its hydrogenation. As a result, compared to hydrogenation of such a non-treated coal liquid, the rate of nitrogen removal is increased.
摘要:
The removal of color bodies from an olefinic or saturated endo-endo hexacyclic homodimer of norbornadiene or mixtures thereof is accomplished by the use of a serpentine clay. Also acid bentonite clay or a montmorillonite clay can be used to remove the color bodies from the saturated dimer. The saturated dimer has a high density and a high heat of combustion making it useful as a missile fuel. Removal of the color bodies avoids possible catalyst poisoning in the hydrogenation of the olefinic to the saturated dimer. Also removal of the color bodies from the saturated dimer eliminates the possible problem of a material precipitating out on engine turbine blades and causing maintenance or operational problems.
摘要:
Mixed tetrahydropolycyclopentadienes are isomerized in the presence of anhydrous aluminum trichloride to form an additive suitable for use with a high energy missile fuel. The amount of aluminum trichloride present is such that the weight ratio of trichloride to the tetrahydropolydiene is in the range between from about 0.005 to about 0.75. Also the isomerization involves an inert solvent and is at a temperature between from about -20.degree. C to about 25.degree. C. Also anhydrous hydrogen chloride is present to facilitate the isomerization.

Tetrahydrotricyclopentadienes are isomerized to a low pour point, high energy missile fuel. Aluminum trichloride is the catalyst and an inert chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent is present. The mole ratio of AlCl3 to the diene is in the range between from about 0.005 to about 1.0. The isomerization temperature is in the range from between about −20° C. to about 25° C.
摘要:
Tetrahydrodimethyldicyclopentadiene is catalytically isomerized to a liquid isomeric mixture having a suitable low temperature viscosity making it suitable as a missile fuel. The catalyst comprises an acidic alumina. Hydrogen is also present and in an amount sufficient to maintain the isomerization activity of the alumina. The elevated temperature is sufficient to cause isomerization.
摘要:
Dimethyldicyclopentadiene is continuously hydrogenated to tetrahydrodimethyldicyclopentadiene and then the latter is continuously isomerized to a missile fuel. Both the hydrogenation and the isomerization steps use a nickel on silica-alumina catalyst. The temperature of the hydrogenation is in the range of about 70.degree.-260.degree. C., and the temperature of the isomerization is in the range of about 200.degree.-280.degree. C. The space velocity of the hydrogenation is about 0.1 to about 2.0 volumes of the diene charged per volume of catalyst per hour and the space velocity of the isomerization is about 0.1 to about 3.0 volumes of the hydrocarbon charged per volume of catalyst per hour. The pressure range for hydrogenation is between about 200 psig to about 3000 psig and for isomerization between from about 10 psig to about 1500 psig. Hydrogen is present during the isomerization.
摘要:
Endo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene is isomerized to its exo-isomer in the presence of aluminum trichloride at a temperature in the range between from about -.degree. C to about 90.degree. C. The mole ratio of AlCl.sub.3 to the tetrahydrodiene is in the range between from about 0.001 to about 0.75. An inert solvent may also be used. The very facile isomerization is essentially quantitative. The exoisomer has utility as a relatively high BTU/gallon, viscosity-lowering difluent for a missile fuel.
摘要:
Ionic alcoholysis of Binor-S, a C.sub.14 heptacyclic, saturated hydrocarbon, in the presence of a primary alcohol and hydrogen, yields a low melting point product containing novel alkyl ethers of Binor-S. Alcoholysis occurs at about 50.degree.-300.degree. C. and at about 100-10,000 p.s.i.g. in the presence of Raney nickel, palladium-on-carbon or palladium-on-alumina catalyst promoted by a hydrogen halide or its equivalent. Resulting product has utility as a high energy fuel.

Ionic hydrogenolysis of Binor-S, a C.sub.14 heptacyclic saturated hydrocarbon, yields a low melting point product containing predominantly hexacyclics and lesser amounts of pentacyclics. Hydrogenolysis occurs at about 50.degree.-200.degree. C and at about 100-10,000 p.s.i.g. in the presence of a palladium-on-carbon catalyst, palladium-on-alumina or Raney nickel and is promoted by a hydrogen halide or its equivalent.
