摘要:
A process for separating a gaseous alkene mixture into components thereof which comprises contacting the gaseous alkene mixture with a cuprous complex of the formula [Cu(facac)].sub.x L.sub.y where facac is a fluorinated acetylacetonate and L is a stabilizing agent in an organic solvent wherein L is displaced by alkene. Cuprous complexes containing alkene can then be separated provided that the separation factor between alkene complex to be separated and other alkene complexes is at least about 1.05.
摘要:
Nonstoichiometric carbon-sulfur compounds have been found to be effective adsorbents for removing a wide variety of organic and/or inorganic materials from liquids, preferably polar liquids. Removal of biorefractory organics, such as aromatics, is particularly effective using such compounds. The spent adsorbent may then be regenerated.

The instant invention is directed a process for extracting organic acids from a starting crude oil comprising the steps of: (a) treating the starting crude oil containing naphthenic acids with an amount of an alkoxylated amine and water under conditions and for a time and at a temperature sufficient to form a water-in-oil emulsion of amine salt wherein said alkoxylated amine is selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated amines having the following formulae (A) and (B): ##STR1## where m+n=5 to 50 and R=linear or branched alkyl group of C.sub.8 to C.sub.20.(B) H-(OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.y -(CH.sub.2 CHCH.sub.3 O).sub.p -{NHCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 NH}.sub.x -(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.z -(CH.sub.2 CHCH.sub.3 O).sub.q -Hwhere x=1 to 3 and y+z=2 to 6, and wherein p+q=0 to 15, mixtures of formula (A) and mixtures of formula (B); wherein said starting crude oil is selected from the group consisting of crude oils, crude oil blends, and crude oil distillates; and (b) separating said emulsion of step (a) into a plurality of layers, wherein one of such layers contains a treated crude oil having decreased amounts of organic acids; (c) recovering said layer of step (b) containing said treated crude oil having a decreased amount of organic acid and layers containing water and alkoxylated amine salt.
摘要:
Alkenes, alkynes or mixtures thereof are removed from feedstreams by a process which comprises contacting the feedstream with a solution of a cuprous fluorinated acetylacetone in an organic solvent containing stabilizing agent to remove alkene, alkyne or mixture thereof by forming a first cuprous complex, decomposing the first cuprous complex whereby stabilizing agent replaces alkene or alkyne in the first cuprous complex to form a second cuprous complex, and separating the displaced component. The formation of the second cuprous complex avoids any deposition of copper metal upon heating.
