System naphtha

Quaternaries made up of two Type 1 and one Type 2 ternary systems are also of interest in liquid extraction. Figure 2.33 is representative of these, and the system naphtha (i4)-butadiene (B)-isobutene (C)-furfural (D) is typical (48). Only a few quaternary tie lines in this system are known, but it is clear from the ternaries that the simplifications described in the...

Two other types of equilibrium curves are occasionally encountered with the system of two components forming a continuous series of solid solutions. These are shown in Figs. 1,16, 3 and 1,16, 4. In the former the freezing or melting curve passes through a minimum (examples p-chloroiodobenzene, m.p. 57° - p-dichlorobenzene, m.p. 53° naphtha-... 

The carbon black (soot) produced in the partial combustion and electrical discharge processes is of rather small particle si2e and contains substantial amounts of higher (mostly aromatic) hydrocarbons which may render it hydrophobic, sticky, and difficult to remove by filtration. Electrostatic units, combined with water scmbbers, moving coke beds, and bag filters, are used for the removal of soot. The recovery is illustrated by the BASF separation and purification system (23). The bulk of the carbon in the reactor effluent is removed by a water scmbber (quencher). Residual carbon clean-up is by electrostatic filtering in the case of methane feedstock, and by coke particles if the feed is naphtha. Carbon in the quench water is concentrated by flotation, then burned. 

The separation train of the plant is designed to recover important constituents present in the furnace effluent. The modem olefin plant must be designed to accommodate various feedstocks, ie, it usually is designed for feedstock flexibiUty in both the pyrolysis furnaces and the separation system (52). For example, a plant may crack feedstocks ranging from ethane to naphtha or naphtha to gas oils. 

As the name implies, these stains are sprayed on and require Httie if any wiping. The solvent itself penetrates into the pore and allows the pigment and a small amount of binder to remain on the surface. These stains usually are composed of an oil-type vehicle and a combination of earth pigments reduced in a combination of aHphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as naphtha and toluene. The solvent system itself plays a big role in the appearance of the stain owing to the varying degrees to which solvents penetrate. Restrictions on the use of certain aromatic hydrocarbons have affected the manner in which these stains work. 

Froth from the hot-water process may be mixed with a hydrocarbon diluent, eg, coker naphtha, and centrifuged. The Suncor process employs a two-stage centrifuging operation, and each stage consists of multiple centrifuges of conventional design installed in parallel. The bitumen product contains 1—2 wt % mineral (dry bitumen basis) and 5—15 wt % water (wet diluted basis). Syncmde also utilizes a centrifuge system with naphtha diluent. 

Ground turbine fuels are not subject to the constraints of an aircraft operating at reduced pressures of altitude. The temperature of fuel in ground tanks varies over a limited range, eg, 10—30°C, and the vapor pressure is defined by a safety-handling factor such as flash point temperature. Volatile fuels such as naphtha (No. 0-GT) are normally stored in a ground tank equipped with a vapor recovery system to minimise losses and meet local air quaUty codes on hydrocarbons. 

Gas plants are integrated tower systems intended to recover LPG range material and separate it from naphtha products. This stabilizes the naphtha and reduces its vapor pressure. The LPG material may either be saturate gases going to LPG or unsaturates going to further processing. Gas plants on preflash and atmospheric crude processing units are saturate gas plants. Gas plants on FCC units are unsaturate gas plants. Coker and visbreaker gas plants are somewhere between the two. 

SO as to end the air mixture to adsorber No. 2. The system is then fully automatic. Solvents which have been successfully recovered by the activated carbon adsorption method include methanol, ethanol, butanol, chlorinated hydrocarbons including perchlorethylene, which boils at 121 C (250 °F), ethyl ether, isopropyl ether, the acetates up to amyl acetate, benzene, toluene, xylene, mineral spirits, naphtha, gasoline, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, hexane, carbon disulfide, and others.

Catalytic processes frequently require more than a single chemical function, and these bifunctional or polyfunctional materials innst be prepared in away to assure effective communication among the various constitnents. For example, naphtha reforming requires both an acidic function for isomerization and alkylation and a hydrogenation function for aromati-zation and saturation. The acidic function is often a promoted porous metal oxide (e.g., alumina) with a noble metal (e.g., platinum) deposited on its surface to provide the hydrogenation sites. To avoid separation problems, it is not unusual to attach homogeneous catalysts and even enzymes to solid surfaces for use in flow reactors. Although this technique works well in some environmental catalytic systems, such attachment sometimes modifies the catalytic specifici-... 

The majority of today s turbines arc fueled wth natural gas or No. 2 distillate oil. Recently there has been increased interest in the burning of nonstandard liquid fuel oils or applications where fuel treatment is desirable. Gas turbines have been engineered to accommodate a wide spectrum of fuels. Over the years, units have been equipped to burn liquid fuels, including naphtha various grades of distillate, crude oils, and residual oils and blended, coal-derived liquids. Many of these nonstandard fuels require special provisions. For example, light fuels like naphtha require modifications Co the fuel handling system to address high volatility and poor lubricity properties. 

Historically, military pyrotechnics had rheir origin as incendiaries. The Bible refers to the use of firebrands (Judges 15 4, 5) and to the action of water on naphtha and burnt lime (II Maccabees 20—36) (I Kings 18 31—38). Such self-igniting systems were known as automatic fire (Ref 130, p 5) and culminated in Greek Fire (Vo 7j HI 17). Crucial to the further develop-...

In this study butyl acetate (AcOBu) was hydrogenolysed to butanol over alumina supported Pt, Re, RePt and Re modified SnPt naphtha reforming catalysts both in a conventional autoclave and a high throughput (HT) slurry phase reactor system (AMTEC SPR 16). The oxide precursors of catalysts were characterized by Temperature-Programmed Reduction (TPR). The aim of this work was to study the role and efficiency of Sn and Re in the activation of the carbonyl group of esters. 

S2C12, a by-product in the manufacture of carbon tetrachloride from carbon disulphide. Was used, dissolved in solvent naphtha, in the vulcanising of mbber by the cold cure process and the vapour cure process. The process was fraught with health and safety problems and has been superseded by low temperature accelerators and room temperature vulcanising (RTV) systems for silicone and polyurethane.
