Addition of hydrocarbons

Various oils of high molecular weight, normally derived from recycled oils after rejuvenating process, or reductant agents are sometimes added to bitumen. They are intended to improve the viscosity (usually to decrease it) or to rejuvenate bitumen s properties. They are normally used in recycling or in countries with very low ambient temperatures. 

In the first case, along with heavy oils, virgin graded bitumen is also added to improve the adhesivity of the aged bitumen. The percentage and type of hydrocarbon used are determined by the chemical industry, which supplies these materials taking into account the properties of the aged bitumen. These materials are also known as bitumen rejuvenators. 

In the second case, the addition of heavy oils aims exclusively to decrease bitumen s viscosity so as to improve the workability of the mixture during laying and compaction. This policy is very common in countries with cold climates, such as Scandinavian countries thus, these oils, along with some percentage of solvent, are called Scandinavian oils.

Recently, enantiomerically pure vinylic sulfoximines have been shown to undergo effective and highly stereocontrolled conjugate addition of hydrocarbon groups using organocopper reagents108. 

When hydrocarbons are present in the gas mixture, NO removal by oxidation to NOz occurs at much lower input energy and the reaction paths change significantly as compared to the case without hydrocarbons. Numerous works analyze the reaction mechanism of NO. conversion in non-thermal plasma with addition of hydrocarbons, especially ethylene [33,37,77,79,81-83], propylene [35,76,81,83-87], and propane [76,81,85,87],... 

It is thought that small additions of hydrocarbon solvents tend to enhance the formation of Ru(C0)3, whereas larger concentrations seriously decrease the dielectric constant of the solvent so that the formation of ionic species in solution is suppressed. 

Evidence of attachment of an organic molecule to a metal surface by a particular group in the molecule is not only provided from surface tension data on the surface of liquid mercury but is also to be noted in the phenomenon of displacement of one liquid by another from a surface. The hydrocarbons adhere to metals much less tenaciously than molecules containing polar groups such as —COOH and —OH. Thus we find that a hydrocarbon may be removed from a metal surface by displacement with alcohol and also that the lubricating properties of a hydrocarbon are materially affected by the addition of hydrocarbon compounds containing polar groups (Hardy, Proc. Roy. 8oc. A, c. 650, 1922, A, ci. 487, 1923). 

Silane and ethylene are present at very high concentrations so that homogeneous nucleation dominates the process. As the gases enter into the hot part of the injector, the silane will decompose and form small Si liquid droplets or solid microcrystals, depending on the temperature. The ethylene will also take part in the reaction, forming microparticles of Si C. It has been noted [39] that even a small addition of hydrocarbons converts the Si droplets to stable particles of Si C (or non-stoichiometric SiC). The stability may, in a hand-waving circumstantial way, be intuitively understood from a solubility point of view. The solubility of carbon in silicon is very low, thus, when carbon is added to the Si droplets, the phase will be solid rather than liquid. 

The process can work without additions of a hydrocarbon, in which case the carbon is supplied through a reaction between the hot silicon and the graphite walls. This is usually not the preferred growth mode and additions of hydrocarbons are needed to obtain a high growth rate. 

For leaner sulfur streams, several techniques have been suggested to provide the heat balance. Among them are 1) use of oxygen rather than air for combustion, 2) addition of hydrocarbon or other fuel species to the sulfur burner section to provide heat,... 

The common method used for preparing complexes of all these ligands has been the direct reaction between a metal salt and the ligand in a non-aqueous solvent such as an alcohol, acetone or halogenated hydrocarbon, selected according to the solubility of the metal salt. Triethyl orthoformate or 2,2 -dimethoxypropane have been added as an internal desiccant where necessary, because water is a competitive ligand in these systems, and where crystallization was not spontaneous it has been induced by addition of hydrocarbons or diethyl ether. 

Hemispherands (11) are by nature only partially preorganized for complexation, depending on their structural characteristics.30 129 132 Addition of hydrocarbon-based bridges, which essentially converts the monocycles to bicyclic systems, serves to provide a more rigid structural framework as in the cryptands.132... 

Submarine Fuel, Winand s. Patented by P. Winant in the USA in 1909, it was intended to detonate without direct access to the atm. It consisted of a mixt of tetranitroethane and mono- and di-nitro benzene, without the addition of hydrocarbon material Refs 1) P. Winant, USP 914624 (1909) JSCI 28, 787 (1909) 2) C.

Polymerization of Styrene Solutions of Volatile Hydrocarbons. Addition of Hydrocarbon before Polymerization. Bulk Polymerization. Expandable polystyrene was prepared inadvertently in 1945 in an attempt to bulk copolymerize 10% isobutylene with styrene. The product formed a low density foam when heated (96). An early method (1950) for rendering polystyrene expandable by petroleum ether was to dissolve 6 parts of petroleum ether in a 40% solution of polystyrene in benzoyl peroxide-catalyzed styrene and to hold the mass for 28 days at 32 °C. (124). In a recent version of this process, the monomer (chlorostyrene) and blowing agent (trichlorofluoromethane) in a poly (vinyl fluoride) bag were irradiated with y-rays (105). 

Addition of hydrocarbons to the reaction mixture does not change the amine yields noticeably. Similiar results are obtained by solution-phase photolysis of alkylazides 59>. The amine yields of these experiments are collected in Table 4. 

Chloroacridine has been prepared by heating thioacridone,1 acridone,2 or iV-phenylanthranilic acid3 5 with phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus oxychloride, or a mixture of the two phosphorus halides, with and without the addition of hydrocarbon solvents. The present method is essentially that of Magidson,3 but the troublesome filtration of the glutinous and easily hydrolyzed 9-chloroacridine has been avoided by the use of chloroform. 

The flowing discussion presents some rules of thumb regarding the addition of hydrocarbons on the properties of acid gas mixtures. The exact effect can be only estimated using the models presented above. In each of the examples given it is assumed that only a small amount of hydrocarbon is added to the acid gas mixture.

This paper deals on the influence of the addition of hydrocarbons (C3H6 or C3H8) to CO-NO and CO-NO-O2 mixtures, simulating the composition of the exhaust gas, on the NO reduction by CO performed with different Pd based catalysts. The influence of the addition of CO2 and H2O is briefly mentioned. 

Thermodynamics of C-H oxidative addition to various metal complexes, as well as to metal ions and atoms, have been considered in a number of experimental and theoretical works (see, e.g., [42]). The energy of the oxidative addition of hydrocarbons, RH, to complexes L M is determined by the equation [43] ... 

The solubility of hydrocarbons in water is greatly enhanced by the presence of surfactants. Similarly, the addition of hydrocarbons to aqueous surfactant solution induces change in the physical properties of the surfactant (24, 25). Thus, the quantitative analysis of the partitioning of hydrocarbons between micelle interior and aqueous phase has been a subject of numerous studies. Among the many techniques used to determine the partitioning, only fluorescence (26), FT-pulsed-gradient spin echo NMR (27), and recently, Raman spectroscopy (28) have demonstrated sufficient sensitivity.
