摘要:
In one embodiment, the invention is related to a process for desalting crude oil that requires less wash water than conventional desalting methods. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a chemical demulsifier formulation comprising an emulsion-breaking chemical and a solvent carrier is added to the crude oil. Wash water is then added to the crude oil until the volume of water in the oil ranges from about 0.1 to about 3 vol. %. Subsequently, the mixture of crude oil, wash water, and chemical demulsifier formulation is subjected to opposed-flow mixing. Chemical emulsion-breakers useful in the invention have a hydrophobic tail group and a hydrophilic head group. Preferably, the emulsion breaker has the formula: x ranges from 1 to 5, y ranges from 0 to 2, and R is an alkyl group having 4-9 carbon atoms, and n ranges from 3 to 9.

The present invention relates to a process for the encapsulation of a solid substrate with a neutralized sulfonated polymer, which comprises the steps of: (a) forming a solution of a non-conjugated, diene polymer in a solvent selected from the group consisting of aliphatic, aromatic hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof; (b) contacting the solution of the unsaturated polymer with a sulfonating agent at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient period of time to form a solution of a sulfonated polymer containing free acid; (c) forming a solution of a base selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydroxides and mixtures thereof in a mixtrue of an aliphatic alcohol and a hydrocarbon, the hydrocarbon being selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof; (d) adding the solution of base to the solution of sulfonated polymer in an amount sufficient to neutralize the polymer and the free acid, thereby forming a coating solution; (e) contacting the solid substrate with the coating solution while removing the solvent therefrom, thereby forming an encapsulated substrate. In a preferred embodiment, the solvent removed during step (e) is recovered and distilled to separate the solvent into at least two fractions, a fraction containing substantially hydrocarbon and an alcohol containing fraction. The separated solvents are then recycled to dissolve the polymer in step (a) and to dissolve the base in step (c).

The present invention relates to improved catalyst compositions used in the formation of substantially gel-free copolymers and terpolymers of isobutylene and one or more dienes having an Mn of about less than 500,000, a mole % unsaturation of about 8 to about 45, and a polydispersity value of about 3 to about 30, wherein the mixture of isobutylene and diene monomers and a cosolvent are contacted with the catalyst composition at polymerization conditions (-50.degree. to -100.degree. C.) wherein the improvement includes the hydrocarbon soluble catalyst composition being formed from the reaction product of a material of the formula:R.sub.m AlX.sub.3-mwherein m is an integer of from 1 to 3 inclusive, R is the same or different alkyl radical of straight or branched chain structure of from 1 to 7 carbons and X is the same or different halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine and bromine, and a halogen containing material which is Y moles of halogen, halogen acid, or mixed halogen per mole of aluminum compound wherein the halogen is selected from the group consisting of chlorine and bromine wherein the molar ratio of the formed catalyst composition to the monomer is critical by selecting at about 0.0001 to about 0.001 in order to obtain the desired elastomeric co- and terpolymers. The molar ratio of the halogen containing material to the R.sub.m Al.sub.3-m used in forming the catalyst is critically selected at about 0.014 to about 0.065.
