It is obvious that if A301 catalyst is used, it only needs to increase catalyst volume of converter or to decrease condensing temperature properly to reform synthetic technology of the gasification of dreg oil or pulverized coal at 8.5 MPa-9.0 MPa to the micro-pressurized process at 8.5 MPa or 10 MPa. For the thermal purification process, the inert gas content and condensing temperature should be adjusted appropriately. 

Cyclic Hydrocarbons. The cyclic hydrocarbon intermediates are derived principally from petroleum and natural gas, though small amounts are derived from coal. Most cycHc intermediates are used in the manufacture of more advanced synthetic organic chemicals and finished products such as dyes, medicinal chemicals, elastomers, pesticides, and plastics and resins. Table 6 details the production and sales of cycHc intermediates in 1991. Benzene (qv) is the largest volume aromatic compound used in the chemical industry. It is extracted from catalytic reformates in refineries, and is produced by the dealkylation of toluene (qv) (see also BTX Processing). 

High purity mesitylene, hemimellitene, and durene are often produced synthetically, whereas pseudocumene is obtained from extracted reformate by superfractionation. The composition of a typical extracted Cg reformate and the hoiling points of the nine Cg isomers present are shown in Table 5. Pseudocumene is separated in high purity (>98%) by superfractionation alone, whereas mesitylene, hemimellitene, and durene cannot be cleanly separated because of the presence of close hoiling compounds, eg, 2-ethyltoluene, indane, and isodurene, respectively. 

The operation of a large synthetic ammonia plant based on natural gas involves a delicately balanced sequence of reactions. The gas is first desulfurized to remove compounds which will poison the metal catalysts, then compressed to 30 atm and reacted with steam over a nickel catalyst at 750°C in the primary steam reformer to produce H2 and oxides of carbon ... 

Ethylbenzene (EB) is a colorless aromatic liquid with a boiling point of 136.2°C, very close to that of p-xylene. This complicates separating it from the Cg aromatic equilibrium mixture obtained from catalytic reforming processes. (See Chapter 2 for separation of Cg aromatics). Ethylbenzene obtained from this source, however, is small compared to the synthetic route. 

The complete process for synthesizing such species using this approach would entail the acquisition of an appropriate natural silicate or the preparation of an appropriate synthetic silicate and then the conversion of this silicate into the alkyl silicate or organosiloxane by suitable substitution reactions. In terms of bond cleavage, this process could entail no destruction and reformation of framework silicon-oxygen bonds, and, in terms of oxidation number, it would entail no reduction and reoxidation of the silicon.

Gasynthan A process for making synthetic natural gas from naphtha by a two-stage steam reforming process. Developed by Lurgi and BASF in the 1960s. In 1975, over 30 units were operating.

Introduction of zeolites into catalytic cracking improved the quality of the product and the efficiency of the process. It was estimated that this modification in catalyst composition in the United States alone saved over 200 million barrels of crude oil in 1977. The use of bimetallic catalysts in reforming of naphthas, a basic process for the production of high-octane gasoline and petrochemicals, resulted in great improvement in the catalytic performance of the process, and in considerable extension of catalyst life. New catalytic approaches to the development of synthetic fuels are being unveiled.
