Other compounds which may be found in crude oil are metals such as vanadium, nickel, copper, zinc and iron, but these are usually of little consequence. Vanadium, if present, is often distilled from the feed stock of catalytic cracking processes, since it may spoil catalysis. The treatment of emulsion sludges by bio-treatment may lead to the concentration of metals and radioactive material, causing subsequent disposal problems. 

Qualitative examples abound. Perfect crystals of sodium carbonate, sulfate, or phosphate may be kept for years without efflorescing, although if scratched, they begin to do so immediately. Too strongly heated or burned lime or plaster of Paris takes up the first traces of water only with difficulty. Reactions of this type tend to be autocat-alytic. The initial rate is slow, due to the absence of the necessary linear interface, but the rate accelerates as more and more product is formed. See Refs. 147-153 for other examples. Ruckenstein [154] has discussed a kinetic model based on nucleation theory. There is certainly evidence that patches of product may be present, as in the oxidation of Mo(lOO) surfaces [155], and that surface defects are important [156]. There may be catalysis thus reaction VII-27 is catalyzed by water vapor [157]. A topotactic reaction is one where the product or products retain the external crystalline shape of the reactant crystal [158]. More often, however, there is a complicated morphology with pitting, cracking, and pore formation, as with calcium carbonate [159]. 

Catalysis. As of mid-1995, zeoHte-based catalysts are employed in catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, isomerization of paraffins and substituted aromatics, disproportionation and alkylation of aromatics, dewaxing of distillate fuels and lube basestocks, and in a process for converting methanol to hydrocarbons (54).

By the mid-1930s, catalytic technology entered into petroleum refining. To a greater extent than thermal cracking, catalysis permitted the close control of the rate and direction of reaction. It minimized the formation of unwanted side reactions, such as carbon formation, and overall improved the yield and quality of fuel output.

Nowadays, based on the amount of processed material, hydrotreating is the largest process in heterogeneous catalysis. On the basis of catalysts sold per year, hydro-treating ranks third after automotive exhaust and fluid catalytic cracking [R. Prins, V.H.J. de Beer and G.A. Somorjai, Catal. Rev.-Sci. Eng. 31 (1989) 1]. 

Acids that have weakly nucleophilic anions, e.g. HS04e from dilute aqueous H2S04, are chosen as catalysts, so that their anions will offer little competition to H20 any R0S03H formed will in any case be hydrolysed to ROH under the conditions of the reaction. Rearrangement of the carbocationic intermediate may take place, and electrophilic addition of it to as yet unprotonated alkene is also known (p. 185). The reaction is used on the large scale to convert cracked petroleum alkene fractions to alcohols by vapour phase hydration with steam over heterogeneous acid catalysts. Also under acid catalysis, ROH may be added to alkenes to yield ethers, and RCOzH to yield esters. 

Since ITQ-4/SSZ-42/MCM-58 have been prepared as aluminosilicates with Si/Al ratios of 20 to °°, which possess Brpnsted sites, there is potential for acid catalysis. Some preliminary accounts of catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, dewaxing, alkylation, hydroisomerization, and reforming reactions have been reported (47, 62-64).
