摘要:
A process to separate hydrocarbon gases into different fractions by condensing in the high pressure condenser of a staged dual pressure rectification system only that amount of vapor necessary for the reboiler duty of the low pressure column and expanding the excess vapor to provide the low temperature refrigeration duty. The process of the invention lends itself particularly to refinery gases, particularly to an absorber tail gas which comprises a mixture of low molecular weight hydrocarbon gases (e.g. methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, etc.).This disclosure also describes a process for the low pressure fractional distillation of gaseous mixtures with relative volatilities of less than 2 by compressing part of the overhead gas product, removing the heat of compression with cooling water, cooling it by heat exchange with the overhead vapor stream from the low pressure column, condensing it in the high pressure condenser to supply additional reboiler duty to the low pressure column and adding the liquid to the reflux stream to the low pressure column.
摘要:
Process of sulfurizing a blend of 90 to 50 and preferably 88 to 70 parts by volume of triglyceride such as lard oil and 10 to 50 and preferably 12 to 30 parts by volume of an ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon containing 2 to 24 carbon atoms. The sulfurization is carried out using elemental sulfur. Simultaneous sulfurization and chlorination may be effected by reacting with sulfur monochloride. Phosphosulfurization may also be carried out by addition of small amounts of a phosphorus sulfide to the sulfurized blend followed by heating at 180.degree. F. to 250.degree. F. for from 30 minutes to 10 hours to effect phosphosulfurization. The sulfurization or phosphosulfurization involves reacting at from 330.degree. F. to 445.degree. F. for 20 minutes to 10 hours followed by blowing with a gas at from 125.degree. F. to 250.degree. F. for 30 minutes to 20 hours to remove hydrogen sulfide. The simultaneous sulfurization and chlorination reaction is carried out at from 90.degree. F. to 280.degree. F. for from 20 minutes to 10 hours followed by blowing with a gas at from 125.degree. F. to 250.degree. F. for 30 minutes to 20 hours. The sulfurized oils contain from 7.5 to 25 weight percent sulfur as based on the blend of olefin and triglyceride.

A liquid composition suitable as a high performance fuel and having improved rheological and stability properties comprising a liquid hydrocarbon having carbon particles dispersed therein of at least two disparate particle sizes, one of said carbon particles having an average particle diameter of from about 300 to about 350 mu and the other particle having an average particle diameter of about 20 to about 50 mu, the carbon particles of the smaller size black being present in an amount between about 20 and about 25 weight percent of the total black percent.
摘要:
A method for preparing a block copolymer of an ether free polylactam and a polyetheramide, e.g., poly(4,7-dioxadecamethylene adipamide) involves polymerizing a lactam, e.g., caprolactam, in contact with the polyetheramide. Resulting block copolymer has utility, e.g., as a fiber.
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.
摘要:
The oxidation of methyl benzenes with air or oxygen in the presence of acetic anhydride, benzaldehyde and an acid catalyst under mild reaction conditions yields a phenolic acetate and formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde when the ratio of acetic anhydride to methyl benzene is adjusted to provide the selective formation of the phenolic acetate and formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde. In this process, it is essential that the flow of air or oxygen through the reaction medium be maintained at a sufficient rate to provide for the continuous removal of formaldehyde as it is formed. The formaldehyde may then be recovered in the form of paraformaldehyde.

Semipermeable membranes useful in membrane separation processes are formed from a hydrophilic polyamide which is a block copolymer of nylon and a poly(dioxa-amide) such as poly(4,7-dioxadecamethylene adipamide).
摘要:
Isomerization of a liquid, saturated endo-endo norbornadiene hexacyclic dimer involves the use of a catalytic amount of acidic alumina or a montmorillonite. The resulting isomeric product is solid, at ambient temperature, and can be used as a missile fuel.
摘要:
During the labeling of a vial, mislabeling can occur. The unwanted label is cleanly and economically removed by forcing the vial through a novel collet-cutter. The cutter has at least two cutting edges and two slots. The slots permit expansion of the diameter of the cutting edges during the passage of a vial. At least one of the edges of the slots is outwardly sharpened. Further, its cutting edges are at an angle to the incoming vial and have an internal diameter whereby the label is removed completely and cleanly when the vial is forced through the cutter.
摘要:
A method for removing oil from the surface of water where an oil spill has occurred, particularly in obstructed or shallow areas, which comprises partially surrounding a hovercraft with a floating oil-collecting barrier, there being no barrier at the front of the hovercraft, moving the oil-barrier-surrounded-hovercraft into oil contaminated water, and collecting oil gathered within the barrier behind the hovercraft through a suction line which carries the oil to a storage tank aboard the hovercraft. The invention also embodies the hovercraft adapted to effect an oil spill cleanup.
