摘要:
A catalytic process is provided for converting lower monohydric alcohols and their ethers, especially methanol and dimethyl ether, to a hydrocarbon mixture rich in C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 olefins, by contact, under conversion conditions, with a catalyst comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least about 12, a constraint index, as hereinafter defined, within the approximate range of 1 to 12 and containing, in cationic form, between about 0.01 and about 1.9 milliequivalents per gram of one or more metals characterized by an ionic radius exceeding 1 Angstrom.
摘要:
A method for the recovery of oil from an oil-containing subterranean formation by waterflooding employing as an injection medium an aqueous dispersion of a hydrophilic carbon oxide. According to a preferred form of the invention, particulate graphite oxide characterized by a surface layer in which the molar carbon to oxygen ratio is from about 2 to about 3 is utilized as a viscosifier to decrease the mobility ratio between the injected water and oil, thereby improving the efficiency of the waterflood. The graphite oxide may be characterized by a surface substantially free of --COOH groups, thereby being insensitive to divalent metal ions present in the subterranean formation. According to another form of the invention, the graphite oxide is reactive with the divalent metal ions within the subterranean formation to form a plugging deposit and thereby to function as a sealant for highly permeable strata within the formation.
摘要:
Normal paraffin alkylation with an alkylating agent, i.e. olefin, alkylhalide or alcohol, is effected in the presence of a catalyst of graphite having intercalated in the lattice thereof between about 5 and about 75 weight percent of a Lewis acid. The catalyst utilized in alkylation has additionally intercalated therein between about 0.1 and about 20 weight percent of a Group VIII metal.
