Abstract:
Airblown asphalt and water are hard to emulsify with either tall oil or triethanolamine as the emulsifying agent. The use of both tall oil and triethanolamine gives a synergistic effect, and weight percents based on the total weight of the emulsion of 0.9 tall oil and 0.7 triethanolamine produced stable emulsions while 1.6 of either one alone failed to produce an emulsion. Alkali metal hydroxide to adjust the pH above 7 and known emulsion stabilizing agents may be added.
Abstract:
HEAVY HYDROCARBON OILS, RESIDUAL FRACTIONS AND OTHER CARBONACEOUS MATERIALS ARE CONVERTED TO USEFUL LIQUID PRODUCTS BY CONTACTING WITH A NICKEL SPINEL CATLAYST PROMOTED WITH A BARIUM SLAT OF AN ORGANIC ACID.
Abstract:
An aromatic oil say from catalytic cracking of hydrocarbon oil and/or a paraffinic oil as from solvent deasphalting of topped crude is air blown at elevated temperature and then further treated at elevated temperature in the presence of a catalyst, e.g., zinc chloride, to produce a hydrocarbon resin. The oil in which the resin has been produced is combined with a topped crude from which asphalt is to be produced or with an asphalt following which the admixture thus obtained is subjected to vacuum distillation or to a solvent deasphalting to remove unreacted or non-resinous, petroleum-derived fractions. An asphalt suitable for paving, having improved ductility and other properties, is obtained.
