1 Refinery and Petrochemical Processes
3 1 Refinery and Petrochemical Processes 1.1 Introduction The combination of high demand for electric cars and higher automobile engine effi- ciency in the future will mean less conversion of petroleum into fuels. However, the demand for petrochemicals is forecast to rise due to the increase in world popula- tion. With this, it is expected that modern and more innovative technologies will be developed to serve the growth of the petrochemical market. In a refinery process, petroleum is converted into petroleum intermediate prod- ucts, including gases, light/heavy naphtha, kerosene, diesel, light gas oil, heavy gas oil, and residue. From these intermediate refinery product streams, several fuels such as fuel gas, liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, auto diesel, and other heavy products such as lubricants, bunker oil, asphalt, and coke are obtained. In addition, these petroleum intermediates can be further processed and separated into products for petrochemical applications. In this chapter, petroleum will be introduced first. Petrochemicals will be intro- duced in the second part of the chapter. Petrochemicals – the main subject of this book – will address three major areas, (i) the production of the seven cornerstone petrochemicals: methane and synthesis gas, ethylene, propylene, butene, benzene, toluene, and xylenes; (ii) the uses of the seven cornerstone petrochemicals, and (iii) the technology to separate petrochemicals into individual components. 1.2 Petroleum Petroleum is derived from the Latin words “petra” and “oleum,” which means “rock” and “oil,” respectively. Petroleum also is known as crude oil or fossil fuel. It is a thick, flammable, yellow-to-black mixture of gaseous, liquid, and solid hydrocarbons formed from the remains of plants and animals. -

The Chemistry of Refining Crude Oil SPN#12
The Chemistry of Refining Crude Oil SPN LESSON #12 LEARNING OUTCOME: Students come to view energy from several viewpoints. They work with the processes of • Phase changes and the many energy transformations and transfers involved in that physical change; • chemical change and the energy it releases. LESSON OVERVIEW: The fractional distillation of crude oil is featured. This major fossil fuel of the modern age is viewed as an example of stored chemical energy. Alcohol and water are separated and recaptured by taking advantage of the differences in the two substances’ boiling points. The many components of crude oil are explored and students are introduced to organic chemical formulas, characteristics of changes in phases, and laboratory distillation procedures. GRADE-LEVEL APPROPRIATENESS: This Level II Physical Setting, technology education lesson is intended for students in grades 5–8. MATERIALS (per group) Safety goggles (per person) Lab apron (per person) Bunsen burner Ring stand with utility clamp Metal pan 3 medium test tubes Test tube rack Boiling chip 2-hole stopper 10 cm glass tubing with 90o bend Thermometer 15 mL of isopropyl alcohol–water mixture nyserda.ny.gov/School-Power-Naturally Stirring rod Graduated cylinder Grease pencil or marker 4 paper strips, 10 cm x 1 cm 60 cm rubber tubing SAFETY Students should be made familiar with proper laboratory safety procedures including the location of fire extinguishers, fire blankets, and safety showers (where available). Instruct students regarding the proper and safe use of Bunsen burners and matches, and stress the importance of keeping the volatile components of the fractional distillation away from the flame during the collection of distillates. -

Al2O3 of 30-50 mesh and Pt precursor were added to deionized water, and solution pH was adjusted to 3 by adding HCl. After stirring overnight, the catalyst particles were recovered by filtration extensively washed with -1 deionized water. The catalyst was dried in the air and reduced in flowing H2 (200 mL min ) at 300°C for 4 h. BET surface area was determined by nitrogen physisorption using a Quadrasorb SI™ surface area analyzer from Quantachrome Instruments. Samples of ~80–120 mg were measured using a 55-point nitrogen adsorption/desorption curve at -196°C. -

Laboratory Rectifying Stills of Glass 2
» LABORATORY RECTIFYING STILLS OF GLASS 2 By Johannes H. Bruun 3 and Sylvester T. Schicktanz 3 ABSTRACT A complete description is given of a set of all-glass rectifying stills, suitable for distillation at pressures ranging from atmospheric down to about 50 mm. The stills are provided with efficient bubbling-cap columns containing 30 to 60 plates. Adiabatic conditions around the column are maintained by surrounding it with a jacket provided with a series of independent electrical heating units. Suitable means are provided for adjusting or maintaining the reflux ratio at the top of the column. For the purpose of conveniently obtaining an accurate value of the true boiling points of the distillates a continuous boiling-point apparatus is incor- porated in the receiving system. An efficient still of the packed-column type for distillations under pressures less than 50 mm is also described. Methods of operation and efficiency tests are given for the stills. CONTENTS Page I.

World Scientific News 9 (2015) 88-100 1. INTRODUCTION Hydrodesulphurization (HDS) is a catalytic chemical process widely used to remove sulfur (S) from natural gas and from refined petroleum products such as gasoline or petrol, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, and fuel oils. The purpose of removing the sulfur is to reduce the sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions that result from various combustion practices.
