Demetallization

Most mordant dyes are monoazo stmctures. The most important feature of this class of dyes is excellent fastness to light and washing. Mordant dyes are available ia aU shades of the spectmm with the exceptioa of bright violets, blues, and greens. To be useful, the metal complexes must be stable, ie, must not demetallize when subjected to dyebath conditions and aU aftertreatment processes, especially repeated washings. Chromium forms stable chelate rings with mordant dyes which are not affected by treatment with either weak acid or alkaU (see Coordination compounds).

Consider the oil-recycling plant shown in Fig. 3.16. In this plant, two types of waste oil are handled gas oil and lube oil. The two streams are first deashed and demetallized. Next, atmospheric distillation is used to obtain light gases, gas oil, and a heavy product. The heavy product is distilled under vacuum to yield lube oil. Both the gas oil and the lube oil should be further processed to attain desired properties. The gas oil is steam stripped to remove light and sulfur impurities, then hydrotreated. The lube oil is dewaxed/deasphalted using solvent extraction followed by steam stripping. 

Arenes, on complexdQon with Cr, Fe, Mn, and so forth, acquire strongly electrophilic character, such complexes m reactions with nucleophiles behave as electrophilic tutroarenes. Synthesis of aromatic tutnles via the temporary complexanon of rutroarenes to the catiotuc cyclopentadienyhron moiety, cyarude addition, and oxidative demetalation v/ith DDQ has been reported fEq. 9.43 ... 

Residues containing high levels of heavy metals are not suitable for catalytic cracking units. These feedstocks may be subjected to a demetallization process to reduce their metal contents. For example, the metal content of vacuum residues could be substantially reduced by using a selective organic solvent such as pentane or hexane, which separates the residue into an oil (with a low metal and asphaltene content) and asphalt (with high metal content). Demetallized oils could be processed by direct hydrocatalysis. 

Solvent extraction may also be used to reduce asphaltenes and metals from heavy fractions and residues before using them in catalytic cracking. The organic solvent separates the resids into demetallized oil with lower metal and asphaltene content than the feed, and asphalt with high metal content. Figure 3-2 shows the IFP deasphalting process and Table 3-2 shows the analysis of feed before and after solvent treatment. Solvent extraction is used extensively in the petroleum refining industry. Each process uses its selective solvent, but, the basic principle is the same as above. 

An approach to isobacteriochlorins1 ln-e makes use of Pd(II) or metal-free bilatrienes 1 as starting materials. Cyclization of the corresponding bilatriene derivatives is induced by base in the presence of palladium(II) or zinc(II) which exercise a template effect. Zinc can be readily removed from the cyclized macrotetracycles by acid whereas palladium forms very stable complexes which cannot be demetalated. Prior to the cyclization reaction, an enamine is formed by elimination of hydrogen cyanide from the 1-position. The nucleophilic enamine then attacks the electrophilic 19-position with loss of the leaving group present at the terminal pyrrole ring.

The use of a stereogenic carbon centre allowed an efficient asymmetric induction in the benzannulation reaction towards axial-chiral intermediates in the synthesis of configurationally stable ring-C-functionalised derivatives of al-locolchicinoids [51]. The benzannulation of carbene complex 52 with 1-pen-tyne followed by oxidative demetalation afforded a single diastereomer 53 (Scheme 33). 

Merlic developed a new variation of the thermally induced benzannulation reaction. The dienylcarbene complex 132 was reacted with isonitrile to give an orf/zo-alkoxyaniline derivative 135 [76] (Scheme 56). This annulation product is regiocomplementary to those reported from photochemical reaction of chromium dienyl(amino)carbene complexes. The metathesis of the isocyanide with the dienylcarbene complex 132 generates a chromium-complexed di-enylketenimine intermediate 133 which undergoes electrocyclisation. Final tau-tomerisation and demetalation afford the orf/zo-alkoxyaniline 135. 

By demetallation, one constituent is preferentially extracted from a preformed zeolite material to form mesoporous zeolite crystals. Existing and emerging demetallation strategies basically comprise dealumination, detitanation, and desilication.
