    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for improving the operation of a divided wall column for performing distillations. The systems and methods include using a separation stage in a fluid flow pathway for transporting an enriched intermediate stream from a first side of a dividing wall to a second side of a dividing wall. By using a separation stage, the benefit of transporting an enriched intermediate stream can be achieved without requiring precise knowledge of the local concentration profile on the first side of the dividing wall.

    摘要: A hybrid model for predicting corrosion in a system integrates a physics-based model developed using laboratory data and a machine-learning model developed using in-field data. Said hybrid model may be used, for example, in methods by: determining a physics-based measurement of corrosion using a physics-based model for a fluid's corrosion of a substrate based, at least in part on, lab-based measurements; determining a machine learning-based measurement of corrosion using a machine learning-based model for the fluid's corrosion of the substrate based, at least in part on, in-field-based measurements; and applying an ensemble method to the physics-based measurement of corrosion and the machine learning-based measurement of corrosion to yield an estimated measure of corrosion of the substrate. The hybrid model may be applied to corrosion mechanisms that occur in, for example, hydrocarbon transportation systems, hydrocarbon production systems, hydrocarbon refining systems, and alkylation systems.

    摘要: Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) are highly porous entities comprising a multidentate organic ligand coordinated to multiple metal centers, typically as a coordination polymer. Some highly porous MOFs lack stability at ambient conditions. MOFs having ambient condition stability may comprise a plurality of metal clusters (M4O clusters, M=a metal), and a plurality of 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzoate ligands coordinated to the plurality of metal clusters to define an at least partially crystalline network structure having a plurality of internal pores. Methods for synthesizing these MOFs may comprise combining a metal source, such as a preformed metal cluster, with 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzoic acid, and reacting the preformed metal cluster with the 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzoic acid to form a MOF having an at least partially crystalline network structure with a plurality of internal pores defined therein and comprising a plurality of metal clusters coordinated to a multidentate organic ligand comprising 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzoate.

    摘要: Processes and systems for producing olefin epoxides with three or more carbon atoms by oxidation of the corresponding branched hydrocarbons using oxygen are disclosed. An example process for producing olefin epoxides may include oxidizing a branched alkane to produce at least an organic hydroperoxide. The example process may further include epoxidizing a branched alkene by a catalytic reaction with least a portion of the organic hydroperoxide to produce at least an olefin epoxide and an alcohol. The example process may further include converting at least a portion of the alcohol to either additional branched alkane and/or additional branched alkene.
