Emulsion distillation

This observation was also made by McAuliffe (9), who injected a 0.5% OAV emulsion (3.8-(xm average droplet size) into a Boise sandstone core (1170 mD) and Alhambra core (520 mD). The results are shown in Figure 20 and depict that the permeability of the Alhambra core was reduced more rapidly earlier during the injection period than that of the Boise core. The percentage reduction in permeability after 10 pore volumes of emulsion injection, however, was the same for the two cores. After 10 pore volumes of the OAV emulsion, distilled water was injected into the two cores. Distilled water, however, does not remove the oil droplets that are captured in the...

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. 

In a 250 ml. conical flask mix a solution of 14 g. of sodium hydroxide in 40 ml. of water and 21 g. (20 ml.) of pure benzaldehyde (Section IV,115). Add 15 g. of hydroxylamine hydrochloride in small portions, and shake the mixture continually (mechanical stirring may be employed with advantage). Some heat is developed and the benzaldehyde eventually disappears. Upon coohiig, a crystalline mass of the sodium derivative separates out. Add sufficient water to form a clear solution, and pass carbon dioxide into the solution until saturated. A colourless emulsion of the a or syn-aldoxime separates. Extract the oxime with ether, dry the extract over anhydrous magnesium or sodium sulphate, and remove the ether on a water bath. Distil the residue under diminished pressure (Fig. 11,20, 1). Collect the pure syn-benzaldoxime (a-benzald-oxime) at 122-124°/12 mm. this gradually solidifies on cooling in ice and melts at 35°. The yield is 12 g. 

Mix 31 g. (29-5 ml.) of benzyl alcohol (Section IV, 123 and Section IV,200) and 45 g. (43 ml.) of glacial acetic acid in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask introduce 1 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid and a few fragments of porous pot. Attach a reflux condenser to the flask and boil the mixture gently for 9 hours. Pour the reaction mixture into about 200 ml. of water contained in a separatory funnel, add 10 ml. of carbon tetrachloride (to eliminate emulsion formation owing to the slight difference in density of the ester and water, compare Methyl Benzoate, Section IV,176) and shake. Separate the lower layer (solution of benzyl acetate in carbon tetrachloride) and discard the upper aqueous layer. Return the lower layer to the funnel, and wash it successively with water, concentrated sodium bicarbonate solution (until effervescence ceases) and water. Dry over 5 g. of anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and distil under normal pressure (Fig. II, 13, 2) with the aid of an air bath (Fig. II, 5, 3). Collect the benzyl acetate a (colourless liquid) at 213-215°. The yield is 16 g. 

In a 500 ml. three-necked flask, fitted with a reflux condenser and mechanical stirrer, place 121 g. (126-5 ml.) of dimethylaniline, 45 g. of 40 per cent, formaldehyde solution and 0 -5 g. of sulphanilic acid. Heat the mixture under reflux with vigorous stirring for 8 hours. No visible change in the reaction mixture occurs. After 8 hours, remove a test portion of the pale yellow emulsion with a pipette or dropper and allow it to cool. The oil should solidify completely and upon boiling it should not smell appreciably of dimethylaniline if this is not the case, heat for a longer period. When the reaction is complete, steam distil (Fig. II, 41, i) the mixture until no more formaldehyde and dimethylaniline passes over only a few drops of dimethylaniline should distil. As soon as the distillate is free from dimethylaniline, pour the residue into excess of cold water when the base immediately solidifies. Decant the water and wash the crystalline solid thoroughly with water to remove the residual formaldehyde. Finally melt the solid under water and allow it to solidify. A hard yellowish-white crystalline cake of crude base, m,p. 80-90°, is obtained in almost quantitative yield. RecrystaUise from 250 ml. of alcohol the recovery of pure pp -tetramethyldiaminodiphenylmethane, m.p. 89-90°, is about 90 per cent. 

The oil that remains is only slightly dark. Definitely translucent which is always lovely. One can then add some water to take up the unreacted salts and separate the oil from this. If an emulsion forms it can be busted up with some 10% HCl. That isosafrole is clean enough to proceed with but it can of course be distilled for ultra purity. 

Monobutylamines are easily soluble in water and hydrocarbons and can generally be steam distilled. These properties lead to uses in soaps for water and oil emulsions, and as corrosion inhibitors in steam boiler appHcations (see Corrosion and corrosion inhibitors Emulsions). Morpholine is also extensively used as a corrosion inhibitor in steam boiler systems. In addition, it is widely used as an intermediate in the production of delayed-action mbber accelerators. 

Mascaramatic mascaras have the largest share of the market. Emulsion mascaramatics are cream-type mascaras dispensed from containers that include a closure provided with a wand ending in a small bmsh. In solvent mascaramatics, mascara masses are pigment suspensions in thickened hydrocarbon solvents such as isoparaffins and petroleum distillates. The thickeners include waxes (microcrystalline [63231 -60-7] camauba [8015-86-9] or ouricury [68917-70-4], polymers (hydrogenated polyisobutene [61693-08-1]), and esters (propylene glycol distearate [6182-11-2] or trilaurin [538-24-9]). 

Closely related to films are paints. Previously linseed oil, thinned with turpentine, fornted the film into which were imbedded pigments. Turpentine, from pine trees, is still used, but competes with a petroleum distillate (less smelly). Water-based latex paints are a water emulsion of an organic paint that is thinned with water. 

The previous discussion focused on the use of indirect fired heaters as line heaters to provide the necessary heat to avoid hydrate formation at wellstream chokes. Indirect fired heaters have many other potential uses in production facilities. For example, indirect fired heaters can be used to provide heat to emulsions prior to treating, as reboilers on distillation towers, and to heat liquids that are circulated to several heat users. The sizing of indirect fired heaters for these uses relies on the same principles and techniques discussed for wellstream line heaters. 

After the suspension was cooled under nitrogen, the solvent was distilled off under vacuum. The residue was taken up in 200 ml water and the milky emulsion extracted exhaustively with ether. From the organic phase, the excess butylglycidyl ether was extracted with diluted potassium hydroxide solution. The ether phase was washed neutral with water and the solvent removed after drying with sodium sulfate. The remaining oily residue was distilled under vacuum there was obtained a colorless liquid of BP 123.5°C/0.07 mm. Yield 81.8 g (91.1% of the theory). 

The copolymerization occurs in an aqueous emulsion. When free radicals are used, a random copolymer is obtained. Alternating copolymers are produced when a Zieglar-Natta catalyst is employed. Molecular weight can be controlled by adding modifiers and inhibitors. When the polymerization reaches approximately 65%, the reaction mixture is vacuum distilled in presence of steam to recover the monomer. 

If an emulsion has formed, it may be broken by acidifying with hydrochloric acid, whereupon two clear layers are obtained. The benzene solution may be dried and then fractionated or preferably, it may be steam distilled. In the latter case it is transferred to a r-1. Claisen flask, the flask is set in an oil bath (Note 3) and the benzene distilled. Steam is then passed in, and after the last of the benzene is removed, the p-bromodi-phenyl distils with the steam. The temperature of the oil bath is held at 170° in order to hasten the distillation. The product solidifies in the condenser and receiving flask. There is obtained 23-24 g. of -bromodiphenyl which melts at 85-86.5°. 

Add 3-4 ml CPC solution (-0.005 N in distilled water). After each addition of CPC turn the graduated cylinder upside down 10 times. Too vigorous shaking leads to the formation of a stable emulsion. Add as rapidly as possible more CPC until the red chloroform layer settles out rapidly and clearly. Continue titrating slowly until the two layers have the same color. 

A summary of the nine batch reactor emulsion polymerizations and fifteen tubular reactor emulsion polymerizations are presented in Tables III IV. Also, many tubular reactor pressure drop measurements were performed at different Reynolds numbers using distilled water to determined the laminar-turbulent transitional flow regime. 

At the refinery, before distillation, the salt content is often further reduced by a second emulsification with freshwater, followed by demulsification. Crude oils with high salt contents could lead to breakdowns and corrosion at the refinery. The object of using an emulsion breaker, or demulsifier, is to break the emulsion at the lowest possible concentration and, with little or no additional consumption of heat, to bring about a complete separation of the water and reduce the salt content to a minimum. 

In a process for the production of acrylic fibres by the emulsion polymerisation of acrylonitrile, the unreacted monomer is recovered from water by distillation. Acrylonitrile forms an azeotrope with water and the overhead product from the column contain around 5 mol per cent water. The overheads are condensed and the recovered acrylonitrile separated from the water in a decanter. The decanter operating temperature will be 20 °C.
