Synthetic crude, preparation

Results comparable to those shown in Figure 1 can readily be achieved with most crude mixtures containing synthetic or naturally occurring peptides, using similar RPC strategies. The resolution of synthetic peptides prepared by solid- or solution-phase chemical methods is now so routine by analytical and preparative RPC methods that an April 2000 CD-ROM database search of relevant scientific journals revealed that over 2500 publications arise each year on the use of RPC for the purification or analysis of peptides as part of the scientific literature related to peptide chemistry and its application in various fields of the biomedical or biological science and in biotechnological applications related to the food, environmental, and pharmaceutical industries. 

Preparation of Synthetic Crude. The overall flow diagram for upgrading crude shale oil is shown in Figure 5. A sample of in situ crude... 

Hydrogenation tests made on the 600°-1000°F heavy gas oil from in situ crude shale oil showed that a nickel-molybdenum-on-ahimina catalyst was superior to either cobalt-molybdenum-on-alumina or nickel-tungsten-on-alumina catalysts for removing nitrpgen from shale oil fractions. This nickel-molybdenum-on-alumina catalyst was used in the preparation of the synthetic crude oil. A high yield of premium refinery feedstock whose properties compared favorably with those of a syncrude described by the NPC was attained by hydrogenating the naphtha, light... 

N—O-sulfation of minoxidil in the presence of adenosine-3 -phospho-5 -phosphosulfate (PAPS) (equation 24). The enzyme-synthetized product was identical to authentic N—O-sulfate with respect to chromatographic behavior and mass spectral characteristics and was split to minoxidil when treated with sulfatase183. The pH optimum for minoxidil N—O-sulfation was about 8.0. Enzyme activity in crude preparations was maintained for several months during storage at —76°C, while activity of partially purified enzyme was lost under these conditions183. 

The methods used at BERC to characterize petroleum and coal liquids provide a means for systematic study of various alternate or synthetic crude oils. The compositional data so produced are useful for producers or refiners of such materials and give them a base for clearer comparison of all liquids produced. Data from the batch preparation of liquids and the subsequent characterization of these liquids will provide a clearer understanding of the effect of coal source on the hydrocarbon composition of the potential liquefaction products. Such information will be necessary for the proper upgrading of coals and coal liquids and will contribute to more efficient processing and end-use of these materials. 

An interesting historical fact is that the original preparation of the dye was by the oxidation of crude aniline alone. Then it was shown that pure aniline did not yield the dye and that the crude compound, which did yield the dye, always contained / -toluidine also. Thus the latter compound is absolutely essential to the synthesis. The original crude preparation, the synthetic commercial preparation and the synthesis from tri-phenyl methane all agree and are in accord with the established constitution. The name para-rosaniline was given to the dye because />flro-toluidine is an essential synthetic constituent. 

Irreversible adsorption is often less marked in natural products containing coadsorbates, and this has led to studies in which synthetic coadsorbates are added to a system.9,10 Williams11,12 and his coworkers studied the adsorption-desorption of folic acid. They found that ammonia eluted the active principle provided the folic acid had been adsorbed from crude preparations. In contrast, the elution was less successfull when the folic acid had been adsorbed from relatively pure solutions. Apparently, certain substances in the crude preparations alter the manner in which the folic acid is adsorbed so that it can be released to the ammonia. In further studies, they found that preadsorption of aniline on carbon prevented the irreversible type of adsorption. Folic acid adsorbed by aniline-treated carbon from a pure solution could be readily eluted with ammonia. 

Because atomic absorption enables direct analysis without the need of a concentration step it held promise for metals ranging from 0.1 to 1 ppm. Table 8.6 shows the absorbances obtained for nickel in a synthetic unknown prepared from Boscan crude by the method of Slavin and Trent. An air-acetylene flame afforded convenient combustion, and absorption at the 2316 non-absorbing line was subtracted from the sample absorbance observations to correct for background absorption. The observations were made at the 100 average mode using the Nixie tube digital readout. 

Chemicai compounds, usuaiiy derived from plants and other natural sources, have been used by humans for thousands of years to alleviate pain, diarrhea, infection, and various other maladies. Until the nineteenth century, these remedies were primarily crude preparations of plant material of unknown constitution. The revolution in synthetic organic chemistry during the nineteenth century produced a concerted effort toward identification of the structures of the active constituents of these naturally derived medicinals and synthesis of what were hoped to be more efficacious agents. By determining the molecular structures of the active components of these complex mixtures, it was thought that a better understanding of how these components worked could be elucidated. 

It is partieularly pertinent here to compare hydrogenated coal liquids with crude oil. For example, a eoal liquid prepared by hydrogenating Illinois No. 6 coal was distilled and only the material boiling below 525°C (975°F) was used for eomparison and, thus, the coal liquid differed from conventional erude oil in having no heavy ends. This synthetic crude oil had an API gravity of 25.2, specific gravity of 0.9030, pour point of -19°C (66°F), Reid vapor pressure of 1.0 psi, viseos-ity at 15.6°C (60°F) of 37.9 SU, and sulfur eontent of 0.13%. These values are not at all out of line... 

The fractional distillation yields of coal-derived synthetic crude oil compared with typical petroleum values (Table 18.6) are useful in determining the utility and ability to refine of the product. However, it should be noted that the nature of the synthetic crude oil depends on the manner of preparation and this particular oil should be considered as only an example. 

Synthetic crude oil prepared by the hydrogenation of coal is deficient for diesel fuel constituents since the products in this boiling point range are largely aromatic, which makes the cut unsuitable... 

Titanium is produced by chlorination of rutile (Ti02, 95%), synthetic rutile prepared from ilmenite or titanium slug of a high content with cokes at 1000 C to give crude TiCU, which is then purified by distillation and by reduction of the purified TiCU with Mg at about 900 °C under argon atmosphere (Kroll process), or by two step reduction with sodium metal (Hunter process) [2-5]. 

The conamercialization of isolated enzymes in either a crude or partially purified form has greatly developed the use of biocatalysts in synthetic organic preparations, to... 

The most common limitation for the enantioselective synthetic methods is poor enantio-selectivity. Crude Candida rugosa (CRL, formerly known as C. cylindracea) commercial lipase, one of the most used enzymes for the resolution of racemates, only exhibits poor to moderate enantiodiscrimination for the resolution of some racemic 2-arylpropionic acids and their derivatives (see Table lA). This might be due to the presence of other proteinaceous impurities (hydrolases and proteases with MW < 62 kDa) in the crude preparation [118], which may display opposite or poor enantioselectivity. A similar situation has also been described for crude lipase from pig pancreas [119]. 

The introduction of microwave pr ents an excellent new option for the synthesis of VOPc from vanadium oxide, dicyanobenzene, and ethylene glycol. In the present study, the effectiveness of synthesizing crude VOPc liom vanadium oxide and dicyanobenzene rmder the two synthetic methods was investigate by comparing reaction temperatures. Also, the preparation of fine crystal VOPc was investigated from the crude VOPc synthesized at... 

The microwave synthesis described in the present paper has proven to be quite eifective due to its intense internal heating, compffl ed to conventional syndesis. The yield of crude VOPc increased with increasing the reaction temperature under both synthetic methods. Fine crystal VOPc was prepared successfiiUy from the crude VOPc obtained by microwave synthesis through the acid-treatment and recrystallization step. 

The synthetic procedures for isolation of the salt appear to be rather simple. First, one prepares a solution in which the carbocation and carbanion coexist free from any combination reactions. Then, the hydrocarbon cation-anion salt is isolated after separation of the concomitant inorganic salt and evaporation of the solvent. For the purification of the crude salt recrystallization or reprecipitation with proper solvents is used.
