Paraffins hydrogenation

The wax deposits were predominantly paraffin (Hydrogen to Carbon ratio of approximately 2) with congealing points ranging between 68 and 85°C. The wax deposits generated 1n the laboratory have congealing points in the range of 67 to 79°C.

C. It occurs in natural gas. May prepared by reduction of ethene or ethyne by hydrogen under pressure in the presence of a nickel catalyst, or by the electrolysis of a solution of potassium elhanoate. It has the general properties of the paraffins. Used in low-temperature refrigeration plant. 

The rings most frequently encountered in crude oils are those having five or six carbon atoms. In these rings, each hydrogen atom can be substituted by a paraffinic alkyl chain that is either a straight chain or branched. 

We cite isomerization of Cs-Ce paraffinic cuts, aliphatic alkylation making isoparaffinic gasoline from C3-C5 olefins and isobutane, and etherification of C4-C5 olefins with the C1-C2 alcohols. This type of refinery can need more hydrogen than is available from naphtha reforming. Flexibility is greatly improved over the simple conventional refinery. Nonetheless some products are not eliminated, for example, the heavy fuel of marginal quality, and the conversion product qualities may not be adequate, even after severe treatment, to meet certain specifications such as the gasoline octane number, diesel cetane number, and allowable levels of certain components. 

As a general rule flasks and similar vessels should be heated in an air bath (compare Fig. II, 5, 3). A glycerol bath may be employed for temperatures up to 140° the glycerol is subsequently removed from the outside of the vessel by washing with water. Medicinal liquid paraffin may be used for temperatures up to about 220° hard hydrogenated cotton seed oil, Silicone fluids or fusible metal may be employed when higher temperatures are required. Small test-tubes and centrifuge tubes... 

Fischer-Tropsch Process. The Hterature on the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide dates back to 1902 when the synthesis of methane from synthesis gas over a nickel catalyst was reported (17). In 1923, F. Fischer and H. Tropsch reported the formation of a mixture of organic compounds they called synthol by reaction of synthesis gas over alkalized iron turnings at 10—15 MPa (99—150 atm) and 400—450°C (18). This mixture contained mostly oxygenated compounds, but also contained a small amount of alkanes and alkenes. Further study of the reaction at 0.7 MPa (6.9 atm) revealed that low pressure favored olefinic and paraffinic hydrocarbons and minimized oxygenates, but at this pressure the reaction rate was very low. Because of their pioneering work on catalytic hydrocarbon synthesis, this class of reactions became known as the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis. 

The mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is enriched with hydrogen from the water gas catalytic (Bosch) process, ie, water gas shift reaction, and passed over a cobalt—thoria catalyst to form straight-chain, ie, linear, paraffins, olefins, and alcohols in what is known as the Fisher-Tropsch synthesis. 

Typical COED syncmde properties are shown in Table 12. The properties of the oil products depend heavily on the severity of hydroprocessing. The degree of severity also markedly affects costs associated with hydrogen production and compression. Syncmdes derived from Western coals have much higher paraffin and lower aromatic content than those produced from Illinois coal. In general, properties of COED products have been found compatible with expected industrial requirements. 

Methyl ethyl ketone, a significant coproduct, seems likely to arise in large part from the termination reactions of j -butylperoxy radicals by the Russell mechanism (eq. 15, where R = CH and R = CH2CH2). Since alcohols oxidize rapidly vs paraffins, the j -butyl alcohol produced (eq. 15) is rapidly oxidized to methyl ethyl ketone. Some of the j -butyl alcohol probably arises from hydrogen abstraction by j -butoxy radicals, but the high efficiency to ethanol indicates this is a minor source. 

Hydrocarbons, compounds of carbon and hydrogen, are stmcturally classified as aromatic and aliphatic the latter includes alkanes (paraffins), alkenes (olefins), alkynes (acetylenes), and cycloparaffins. An example of a low molecular weight paraffin is methane [74-82-8], of an olefin, ethylene [74-85-1], of a cycloparaffin, cyclopentane [287-92-3], and of an aromatic, benzene [71-43-2]. Cmde petroleum oils [8002-05-9], which span a range of molecular weights of these compounds, excluding the very reactive olefins, have been classified according to their content as paraffinic, cycloparaffinic (naphthenic), or aromatic. The hydrocarbon class of terpenes is not discussed here. Terpenes, such as turpentine [8006-64-2] are found widely distributed in plants, and consist of repeating isoprene [78-79-5] units (see Isoprene Terpenoids). 

Highly pure / -hexane can be produced by adsorption on molecular sieves (qv) (see Adsorption, liquid separation) (43). The pores admit normal paraffins but exclude isoparaffins, cycloparaffins, and aromatics. The normal paraffins are recovered by changing the temperature and/or pressure of the system or by elution with a Hquid that can be easily separated from / -hexane by distillation. Other than ben2ene, commercial hexanes also may contain small concentrations of olefins (qv) and compounds of sulfur, oxygen, and chlorine. These compounds caimot be tolerated in some chemical and solvent appHcations. In such cases, the commercial hexanes must be purified by hydrogenation. 

Hydrogen atoms ate thought to play a principal role in the mechanistic steps of many reactions, including hydrocarbon thermolysis (119). Some reactions of atomic hydrogen with olefins and paraffins ate the following (120—122) ... 

Paraffin Isomerization. Another weU-estabhshed commercial process which employs zeoflte catalysts is the isomerization of normal paraffins into higher octane, branched isomers. The catalyst for the Hysomet process of the Shell Oil Co. is dual-functional, and consists of a highly acidic, latge-pote zeoflte loaded with a small amount of a noble-metal hydrogenation component. This catalyst possesses the same... 

Chlorination and Chlorination—Dehydrochlorination of Paraffins. Linear internal olefins were produced by Shell at Geismar from 1968 to 1988, using the dehydrochlorination of chlorinated linear paraffins, a process that also yields hydrogen chloride as a by-product. To avoid the production of dichloroparaffins, which are converted to diolefins by dehydrochlorination, chlorination of paraffins is typically limited to 10% conversion. 

UOP Inc. is the key source of technology in this area, having numerous patents and over 70 units operating worldwide (12). The dehydrogenation catalyst is usually a noble metal such as platinum. Eor a typical conversion, the operating temperature is 300—500°C at 100 kPa (1 atm) (13) hydrogen-to-paraffin feed mole ratio is 5 1.
