Methane propane

Of the many forms of carbon and graphite produced commercially, only pyrolytic graphite (8,9) is produced from the gas phase via the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons. The process for making pyrolytic graphite is referred to as the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Deposition occurs on some suitable substrate, usually graphite, that is heated at high temperatures, usually in excess of 1000°C, in the presence of a hydrocarbon, eg, methane, propane, acetjiene, or benzene.

Thailand s sole producer of methane, propane, and LNG/NGL is operating at least four gas separation plants. From these state-owned sites, the company supplies more than 90% of its production to the domestic market. A small percentage of NGL is exported. 

The influence of hemispherical wire mesh screens (obstacles) on the behavior of hemispherical flames was studied by Dorge et al. (1976) on a laboratory scale. The dimensions of the wire mesh screens were varied. Maximum flame speeds for methane, propane, and acetylene are given in Table 4.1b. 

Van Wingerden and Zeeuwen (1983) demonstrated increases in flame speeds of methane, propane, ethylene, and acetylene by deploying an array of cylindrical obstacles between two plates (Table 4.3). They showed that laminar flame speed can be used as a scaling parameter for reactivity. Van Wingerden (1984) further investigated the effect of pipe-rack obstacle arrays between two plates. Ignition of an ethylene-air mixture at one edge of the apparatus resulted in a flame speed of 420 m/s and a maximum pressure of 0.7 bar.

Barrer s discussion4 of his analog of Eq. 28 merits some comment. Equation 28 expresses the equilibrium condition between ice and hydrate. As such it is valid for all equilibria in which the two phases coexist and not only for univariant equilibria corresponding with a P—7" line in the phase diagram. (It holds, for instance, in the entire ice-hydratell-gas region of the ternary system water-methane-propane considered in Section III.C.(2).) In addition to Eq. 28 one has Clapeyron s equation... 

Carson and Katz5 studied another part of the methane-propane-water system. These authors investigated its behavior when an aqueous liquid, a hydrocarbon liquid, a gas, and some solid were present. It was found that the system was univariant so that the solid consisted of a single phase only. This phase is a hydrate which proved to contain methane and propane in various ratios. They then concluded that these hydrates behaved as solid solutions. It is clear that Carson and Katz measured a part of the four-phase line HllL1L2G.

The dilated van Laar model is readily generalized to the multicomponent case, as discussed in detail elsewhere (C3, C4). The important technical advantage of the generalization is that it permits good estimates to be made of multicomponent phase behavior using only experimental data obtained for binary systems. For example, Fig. 14 presents a comparison of calculated and observed -factors for the methane-propane-n-pentane system at conditions close to the critical.7... 

While alkane metathesis is noteworthy, it affords lower homologues and especially methane, which cannot be used easily as a building block for basic chemicals. The reverse reaction, however, which would incorporate methane, would be much more valuable. Nonetheless, the free energy of this reaction is positive, and it is 8.2 kj/mol at 150 °C, which corresponds to an equihbrium conversion of 13%. On the other hand, thermodynamic calculation predicts that the conversion can be increased to 98% for a methane/propane ratio of 1250. The temperature and the contact time are also important parameters (kinetic), and optimal experimental conditions for a reaction carried in a continuous flow tubiflar reactor are as follows 300 mg of [(= SiO)2Ta - H], 1250/1 methane/propane mixture. Flow =1.5 mL/min, P = 50 bars and T = 250 °C [105]. After 1000 min, the steady state is reached, and 1.88 moles of ethane are produced per mole of propane consmned, which corresponds to a selectivity of 96% selectivity in the cross-metathesis reaction (Fig. 4). The overall reaction provides a route to the direct transformation of methane into more valuable hydrocarbon materials.

Methane is the major component of natural gas, while propane and butane are used as bottle-gas products. Research and compare the densities of methane, propane, and butane with that of air at STP. Which gas—natural gas or bottle-gas products—might you expect to rise in the air and which gas would you expect to settle to the ground ... 

The most common fuels used are gas (natural gas, methane, propane, synthesis gas) and light fuel oils. Contaminants such as ash, alkalis (sodium and potassium) and sulphur result in deposits, which degrade performance and cause corrosion in the hot section of the turbine. Total alkalis and total sulphur in the fuel should both be typically less than 10 ppm. Gas turbines can be equipped with dual firing to allow the machine to be switched between fuels.

A material balance was observed that is consistent with the proposed mechanism within the limits of experimental error. The methane/propane ratio increases from 0.06 at 1 54 torr to 0.11 at 0.54 torr. Considerable uncertainty (approx. 50%) must be attached to these ratios, but the trend is consistent with the higher yield of methane observed by Thrush91 at pressure below 0.1 torr. Fischer and Mains92 question the occurrence of reaction (6) as they could not detect any n-pentane in their reaction products. At the high ethyl radical concentrations obtained in flash photolysis this product would certainly be expected, if a significant concentration of thermal ethyl radicals were present. However, Thrush was unable to detect ethyl radicals spectroscopically under his experimental conditions. Therefore all reactions of ethyl in his system must involve C2H and the extent to which... 

Proponium ions can be formed via protonation of propane, when CH3 attacks C2H6 or C2H5+ attacks CH4 (34). The protonation outcome could occur at the primary C-H, secondary C-H or the C-C, affording respectively the 1-H-proponium ion, 2-H-proponium ion, or the C-proponium ion (Figure 11). The latter can also be formed when C2H5+ attacks the C-H bond of methane. Propane is an interesting molecule to study, since it is the smallest alkane containing all representative types of bonds present in a linear alkane. Therefore, it is the simplest prototype of linear alkanes. 

TCE is the other major contaminant at the site and is a common groundwater contaminant in aquifers throughout the United States [425]. Since TCE is a suspected carcinogen, the fate and transport of TCE in the environment and its microbial degradation have been extensively studied [25,63, 95,268,426,427]. Reductive dechlorination under anaerobic conditions and aerobic co-metabolic processes are the predominant pathways for TCE transformation. In aerobic co-metabolic processes, oxidation of TCE is catalyzed by the enzymes induced and expressed for the initial oxidation of the growth substrates [25, 63, 268, 426]. Several growth substrates such as methane, propane, butane, phenol, and toluene have been shown to induce oxygenase enzymes which co-metabolize TCE [428].

Turns et al. [6] studied turbulent partially premixed flames burning methane, propane, and ethylene with air. The NO emission indices for methane and propane flames first increased and then decreased with increased levels of partial premixing. The NO emission indices for ethylene flames continuously increased at least in the limited range of partial premixing considered in the experiments. The results were qualitatively explained by the opposing effects of flame radiation and residence time on NO emissions.
