Hydrocarbons, with Resins, formation

We should caution that the above concept of the genetic relationship between kerogens and asphaltenes differs from the more historic view that asphaltenes are condensation and/or alteration products of hydrocarbons and resins. Certainly, in some petroleum processing treatments and probably at higher maturation levels in nature, various reactions do form new products with asphaltene solubility characteristics. These new condensation products may be regarded as altered asphaltenes and intermediates in the coke or pyrobitumen formation process (62-64)- Contamination of original asphaltenes by subsequently formed or altered products, of course, will result in a less definitive correlation between an asphaltene and its source kerogen. 

Photolysis of most substituted phenyl azides in hydrocarbons, as in the case of parent 47, leads to modest yields of identifiable products (azo-benzenes, nitro- and nitroso-benzenes, anilines etc.) along with polymeric tars or resins. Formation of azepines in the presence of primary and secondary amines is also typical of photolysis of the most substituted phenyl azides. In some cases, the products of formal bond insertion or...

The acid number is mainly defined for rosins and rosin-derived resins and for phenol-modified resins. Standard hydrocarbon resins have zero acid number because the absence of functional groups. However, the acid number allows one to control deterioration by oxidation with formation of carbonyl and carboxyl groups in hydrocarbon resins. Typical acid number values of different resin types are ... 

Uses. n-Pentane has found use as an anesthetic an expl suppressant when mixed with a halogen-ated hydrocarbon and included in aircraft fuel (Ref 13) a jet engine fuel (Ref 16a) as a base for synthetic rubbers and plastics a parent compd for the formation of nitropentanes and azido nitro pentanes used as expls and propints (Refs 15a, 15b 21a) also, as a parent compd for fluorine-contg resin binders which impart both thermal stability and, in conjunction with metal hydrides, high impulse to solid propints (Ref 15b)... 

Purely aromatic ketones generally do not give satisfactory results pinacols and resinous products often predominate. The reduction of ketonic compounds of high molecular weight and very slight solubility is facilitated by the addition of a solvent, such as ethanol, acetic acid or dioxan, which is miscible with aqueous hydrochloric acid. With some carbonyl compounds, notably keto acids, poor yields are obtained even in the presence of ethanol, etc., and the difficulty has been ascribed to the formation of insoluble polymolecular reduction products, which coat the surface of the zinc. The adffition of a hydrocarbon solvent, such as toluene, is beneficial because it keeps most of the material out of contact with the zinc and the reduction occurs in the aqueous layer at such high dilution that polymolecular reactions are largdy inhibited (see Section IV,143). 

The extreme hazards involved in handling this highly reactive material are stressed. Freshly distilled material rapidly polymerises at ambient temperature to produce a gel and then a hard resin. These products can neither be distilled nor manipulated without explosions ranging from rapid decomposition to violent detonation. The hydrocarbon should be stored in the mixture with catalyst used to prepare it, and distilled out as required [1], The dangerously explosive gel is a peroxidic species not formed in absence of air, when some l,2-di(3-buten-l-ynyl)cyclobutane is produced by polymerisation [2], The dienyne reacts readily with atmospheric oxygen, forming an explosively unstable polymeric peroxide. Equipment used with it should be rinsed with a dilute solution of a polymerisation inhibitor to prevent formation of unstable residual films. Adequate shielding of operations is essential [3],... 

Solid Catalysts. Nafion-H is an active catalyst for acylation with aroyl halides and anhydrides.60,61 The reaction is carried out at the boiling point of the aromatic hydrocarbons. Yields with benzoyl chloride using 10-30% Nafion-H for benzene, toluene, and p-xylene are 14%, 85% and 82%, respectively. Attempted acylation with acetyl chloride, however, led to HC1 evolution and ketene formation. Nation resin-silica nanocomposite materials containing a dispersed form of the resin within silica exhibits significantly enhanced activity in Friedel-Crafts acylations.62,63... 

A further interesting aspect of heterogeneous photochemistry concerns oil spilled at sea near land, which is subjected to environmental effects such as evaporation, dissolution, photo oxidation, dispersion into the water column and biodegradation. The fate of heavy fuel oil stranded on rock was studied under different environmental conditions [87]. Samples exposed to full or reflected sunlight showed depletion of the larger and more alkylated aromatic hydrocarbons and formation of resins, in agreement with reported laboratory studies on thin films of oil. 

The Amberlyst A-26 resin consists of a complex hydrocarbon network with cationic ammonium ion appendages that serve as counterions to the anionic chromium oxidant, HCr04". Heating the insoluble polymeric reagent with an alcohol results in oxidation to a carbonyl compound, with formation of an insoluble Cr by-product. Not only can the metal by-product be removed by filtration without added solvent, it can also be regenerated and reused in a subsequent reaction. 

The nature of crude oils depends on their source. Initial separation into components is carried out by atmospheric and vacuum distillation. Heavy ends are particular boiling point cuts, which can include atmospheric gas oil (250-350°C), atmospheric residues (350°C+) vacuum gas oil (350-5S0°C) and vacuum residues (5S0°C+). The descriptions are based on boiling points and, within a particular distillation cut, various chemical species can be identified. These include saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, aromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons and inorganic atoms such as V, Ni, and S, which are associated with large organic molecules [5]. As a result of this complexity, the composition of the boiling cuts is often described in terms of their content of oils, resins and asphaltenes [6,7,8], the relative amounts of which vary depending on the cut and the source of the crude [6] Of these species, asphaltenes are particularly important in the present context since they are known to be associated with heavy coke formation [7,8].
