Abstract:
A fuel system for improved fuel efficiency which can be contained in a single fuel source, such as a fuel tank of a vehicle, having a gasoline phase comprising gasoline or gasohol; and an anti-knock phase comprising a glycol anti-knock subagent, water and one or more of a second anti-knock subagent selected from the group of methanol, ethanol and mixtures thereof; such that the anti-knock agent phase is substantially immiscible with the gasoline phase.
Abstract:
A fuel or fuel blendstocks for jet, gas turbine, rocket, and diesel engines, particularly jet and rocket engines utilizing components of conventional petroleum not currently utilized for jet, gas turbine, rocket, and diesel fuels, such as benzene, butanes, butanes, and methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE) alklyated with aromatic moieties to make monoaromatics used in jet and diesel fuels. Additionally, a fuel having such monoaromatics has multiple desired properties such as higher flash point, low pour point, increased density, better lubricity, aerobic degradability, reduction in toxicity, and additionally can deliver benefits in blendstocks.

Abstract:
A hand diswashing compositions comprising: a) about 0.1 % to about 99.9 % by weight of said composition of an alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system comprising from about 10 % to about 100 % by weight of said surfactant system of two or more crystallinity-disrupted alkylarylsulfonate surfactants of formula (B-Ar-D)a(M )b wherein D is SO3 , M is a cation or cation mixture, q is the valence of said cation, a and b are numbers selected such that said composition is electroneutral; Ar is selected from benzene, toluene, and combinations thereof; and B comprises the sum of at least one primary hydrocarbyl moiety containing from 5 to 20 carbon atoms and one or more crystallinity-disrupting moieties, wherein said crystallinity-disrupting moieties interrupt or branch from said hydrocarbyl moiety; and wherein said alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system has crystallinity disruption to the extent that its Sodium Critical Solubility Temperature, as measured by the CST Test, is no more than about 40 DEG C; and wherein further said alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system has at least one of the following properties: percentage biodegradation, as measured by the modified SCAS test, that exceeds tetrapropylene benzene sulfonate; and weight ratio of nonquaternary to quaternary carbon atoms in B of at least about 5:1; and b) from about 0.00001 % to about 99.9 % by weight of said composition of a conventional hand dishwashing adjunct; c) from about 0.01 % to about 7 % by weight of composition of a divalent ion selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
A fuel or fuel blendstock for jet, gas turbine, rocket, and diesel engines, particularly jet, rocket, and diesel engines that utilizes components of conventional petroleum not currently utilized for jet, gas turbine, rocket, and diesel fuels, such as benzene, linear, and lightly branched alkanes, that may be alkylated with aromatic moieties to make monoaromatics for use in jet and diesel fuels. Additionally, a fuel having such monoaromatics having multiple desired properties such as higher flash point, low pour point, increased density, better lubricity, aerobic degradability, reduction in toxicity, and additionally can deliver benefits in blendstocks.
Abstract:
Processes for making particularly branched, especially monomethyl-branched or nongeminal dimethyl-branched surfactants used in cleaning products; preferred processes comprising particular combinations of two or more adsorptive separation steps and, more preferably, particular alkylation steps; products of such processes, including certain modified alkylbenzenes, modified alkylbenzenesulfonate surfactants, and consumer cleaning products, especially laundry detergents, containing them. Preferred processes herein more specifically use specific, unconventional sequences of sorptive separation steps to secure certain branched hydrocarbon fractions which are used in further process steps as alkylating agents for arenes or for other useful surfactant-making purposes. Surprisingly, such fractions can even be derived from effluents from current linear alkylbenzene manufacture.
Abstract:
Mixtures of mid-chain branched primary alkyl sulfate surfactants useful in cleaning compositions, especially for lower water temperature applications, alone or formulated with other surfactants for the purpose of modifying the low temperature cleaning properties of the cleaning formulations. The present invention also relates to novel mid-chain branched primary alkyl sulfate surfactants suitable for use in surfactant mixtures.
