Hydrocarbons Oxygenated

By selection of appropriate operating conditions, the proportion of coproduced methanol and dimethyl ether can be varied over a wide range. The process is attractive as a method to enhance production of Hquid fuel from CO-rich synthesis gas. Dimethyl ether potentially can be used as a starting material for oxygenated hydrocarbons such as methyl acetate and higher ethers suitable for use in reformulated gasoline. Also, dimethyl ether is an intermediate in the Mobil MTG process for production of gasoline from methanol. 

An important side reaction in all free-radical nitrations is reaction 10, in which unstable alkyl nitrites are formed (eq. 10). They decompose to form nitric oxide and alkoxy radicals (eq. 11) which form oxygenated compounds and low molecular weight alkyl radicals which can form low molecular weight nitroparaffins by reactions 7 or 9. The oxygenated hydrocarbons often react further to produce even lighter oxygenated products, carbon oxides, and water. 

Fischer-Tropsch. Caibon monoxide is catalyticaily hydrogenated to a mixtuie of straight-chain aliphatic, olefinic, and oxygenated hydrocarbon molecules in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction (eq. 11) (see Fuels, synthetic).

The principal components of atmospheric chemical processes are hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, oxygenated hydrocarbons, ozone, and free radical intermediates. Solar radiation plays a crucial role in the generation of free radicals, whereas water vapor and temperature can influence particular chemical pathways. Table 12-4 lists a few of the components of each of these classes. Although more extensive tabulations may be found in "Atmospheric Chemical Compounds" (8), those listed in...

Shortly after World War I, Badische Amlin patented the catalytic conversion of synthesis gas to methanol, and Fischer and Tropsch (F-T) announced a rival process in which an iron catalyst converted synthesis gas into a mixture of oxygenated hydrocarbons. Later,... 

Oxygen was added as oxygenated hydrocarbon components methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), di-isopropyl ether (DIPE), ethanol, methanol, and tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA). The properties of oxygenates, as they relate to gasoline blending, are shown in Table 10-1. 

Chemically, plant essential oils consist largely of mixtures of compounds known as terpenoids —small organic molecules with an immense diversity of structure. More than 35,000 different terpenoids are known. Some are open-chain molecules, and others contain rings some are hydrocarbons, and others contain oxygen. Hydrocarbon terpenoids, in particular, are known as terpenes, and all contain double bonds. For example ... 

Methane and the Nonmethane Hydrocarbons. It is traditional to distinguish CH4 from all other atmospheric hydrocarbons. Methane is by far the most abundant atmospheric hydrocarbon and has very large natural emissions. Its abundance in auto exhaust but low atmospheric reactivity has led air pollution scientists to enact controls on nonmethane hydrocarbons NMHC (also called VOC for volatile organic compounds, which include oxygenated hydrocarbons). 

Reactions with molecular species above the arrow e.g. RIO) involve subsequent reactions with these species to produce the indicated products. In most cases the reactants shown to the left of the arrow participate in the slowest or rate-determining step]. The CH3O radical formed in Rll then follows reaction R7. The H02 radical formed in RIO is the other member of the family and is linked with HO in a variety of chain reactions. These radicals are produced following HO attack on hydrocarbons or by photodissociation of oxygenated hydrocarbons such as formaldehyde (RIO) and acetaldehyde ...
