摘要:
The present invention is a method to determine the TAN and TAN as a function of boiling point for a hydrocarbon feedstream using an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-MS). The steps of the method include determining the signal as a function of mass from the ESI-MS while minimizing the formation of oligomers and fragmentation of the molecular species in the feedstream and then determining the TAN from the signals. The TAN is also determined as a function of boiling point.

A catalyst for hydrotreating residual petroleum oil has a pore size distribution related to the measured size distribution of sulfur, nickel and vanadium containing molecules in the residual oil to be hydrotreated. The size distribution of the sulfur, nickel and vanadium containing molecules in the residual oil is measured by gel permeation chromatography. From this measured size distribution, the catalyst pore size distribution which produces desired demetalization and desulfurization is determined for specified process conditions. A catalyst having the determined pore size distribution is produced by calcining alumina at different temperatures to produce alumina with the determined pore size distribution. The alumina is impregnated with cobalt molybdenum to produce the catalyst which is tailored to produce the desired demetalization and desulfurization of the residual oil to be treated.

A system for predicting the octane number of a substantially olefin-free gasoline or gasoline component. A sample of reformed gasoline is analyzed by means of a gas chromatograph in order to ascertain the presence and amount of its constituents. Signals representing both the identities of the various constituents and their percent volume are applied to a computer which includes means for associating the constituents with predetermined groups and combining the relative volumes of the constituents of each group. Subsequent apparatus assigns predetermined coefficients to each of the groups, after which the volumes of each group are multiplied by the group coefficient. The resulting products are then summed to produce a first expression A. A second expression B comprises the summed differences between the product of the volume and octane number, and the product of the volume, octane number and coefficient, for each group. The second expression is then combined according to the formulation B/(1-A) to produce an estimation of the octane number of the sample. The octane number so derived is applied to control a process for the manufacture of gasoline or a gasoline component in modification of process conditions to achieve a result desired. The principles of the invention are applicable to the manufacture of gasoline and gasoline components generally.
