Fractional properties

Detailed vibrational calculations (Bottinga, 1968 Becker, 1971 Kieffer, 1982) as well as accurate experiments (Clayton et al., 1989 Chiba et al., 1989, and references therein) and semiempirical generalizations (Zheng, 1991, 1993a,b) have been made since the work of Urey (1947) and ensure satisfactory knowledge of the fractionation properties of minerals and water and mineral-mineral...

Because a refinery stream spans a wide boiling range, the crude oil analysis data would be accumulated throughout that range to provide fraction properties. The intent here is to demonstrate the relationship among volume distilled, boiling point, liquid density, and sulfur content.

In some areas, there is replenishment of sulfate by advection at depth due to buried evaporites (Mediterranean) or seawater circulation adjacent to mid-ocean ridges (Juan de Fuca). Addition of sulfate at depth will decrease the gradient and diminish both the calculated openness and apparent fractionation properties. Sites or depth intervals in which there were obvious contribution of sulfate other than that from burial or diffusion were excluded from the compilation in Table 1. 

Figure 9 illustrates the deviations between experimental and predicted fraction properties. The differences in fraction yields (TBP) are well within the reproducibility of the method ASTM D2892. The rest of the properties of the fractions (specific gravity, sulfur and kinematic viscosity) also present differences close to the accuracy of their analytical techniques, if we consider the propagation of TBP reproducibility error to the physical properties. 

Gel-filtration experiments can be successftdly carried out by choosing the right column and the correct operation conditions. It is first necessary to select a column designed for SEC of biopolymers with fractionating properties correlated to the sample that has to be analyzed. Most important is the selection of an appropriate mobile phase with regard to the buffer, the pH, and the ionic strength. The correct sample mass and volume should then be assessed in order to obtain acceptable SEC conditions. 

Properties of alloys are dependent on the nature of the polymers, interfacial attraction between the phases and the morphology. Properties can be additive (linear behavior) and based on the linear contribution from each polymer fraction. Properties can exhibit a synergistic combination of properties (positive nonlinear behavior) where the properties are better than those predicted by linear behavior. 

The technique was invented by Grant Henry Lathe and Colin R Ruthven, working at Queen Charlotte s Hospital, London. They later received the John Scott Award for this invention. While Lathe and Ruthven used starch gels as the matrix, Jerker Porath and Per Flodin later introduced dextran gels other gels with size fractionation properties include agarose and polyacrylamide. A short review of these developments has appeared.

A typical crude assay includes two types of information for an oil sample (1) bulk properties and [2) fractional properties. Table 1.1 gives examples of both properties of a crude assay. For design and modeling purposes, it is always the best practice to have process data obtained in the same period as assay data, since the properties and composition of crude change over time as it is produced from a given well. Kaes [1] suggests that assay data should not be two years older than the process data used to build process simulation. We explain both bulk and fractional properties in the following subsections. 

Another set of key indicators are the product properties of the liquid fuel from the FCC. The properties of interest to refiners are density, flash point (volatility), RON/MON (for gasoline), sulfur content and aromatic content. This is one of the areas where our model is different from other published work described earlier. We discussed a method to transition from kinetic lumping to fractionation lumping in Section 4.8. Not only does this method allow the user to observe the results directly, we can also see the effect of the reactor conditions on fractionated properties. Using the results from the fractionator model, we can calculate the distillation...
