    摘要: An integrated method for mesophase pitch and petrochemicals production. The method including supplying crude oil to a reactor vessel; heating the crude oil in the reactor vessel to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined amount of time; reducing asphaltene content in the crude oil by allowing polymerization reactions to occur in the reactor vessel at an elevated pressure in the absence of oxygen; producing a three-phase upgraded hydrocarbon product comprising gas, liquid, and solid hydrocarbon components, where the liquid hydrocarbon component comprises deasphalted oil and the solid hydrocarbon component comprises mesophase pitch; separating the gas, liquid, and solid hydrocarbon components; directly utilizing the liquid hydrocarbon component for petrochemicals production; and directly utilizing the solid hydrocarbon component for carbon artifact production.

    摘要: Methods of chemical looping include introducing a hydrocarbon-containing feed stream into a first reaction zone. The first reaction zone includes a moving catalyst bed reactor. The moving catalyst bed reactor includes a heterogeneous catalyst, and the heterogeneous catalyst includes a heat-generating metal oxide component. The method further includes cracking the hydrocarbon-containing feed stream in the presence of the heterogeneous catalyst of the moving catalyst bed reactor, reducing the metal oxide heat-generating component of the heterogeneous catalyst with hydrogen from a product stream to generate heat, and utilizing the heat to drive additional cracking of the hydrocarbon-containing feed stream. A chemical looping system includes at least one reduction reactor, which includes a moving catalyst bed reactor and a heterogeneous catalyst, and at least one oxidation reactor fluidly coupled to the reduction reactor.
