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. -
Dehydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts
Dehydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts Daniel E. Resasco School of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science University of Oklahoma Encyclopedia of Catalysis January, 2000 1. INTRODUCTION Catalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes is an endothermic reaction, which occurs with an increase in the number of moles and can be represented by the expression Alkane ! Olefin + Hydrogen This reaction cannot be carried out thermally because it is highly unfavorable compared to the cracking of the hydrocarbon, since the C-C bond strength (about 246 kJ/mol) is much lower than that of the C-H bond (about 363 kJ/mol). However, in the presence of a suitable catalyst, dehydrogenation can be carried out with minimal C-C bond rupture. The strong C-H bond is a closed-shell σ orbital that can be activated by oxide or metal catalysts. Oxides can activate the C-H bond via hydrogen abstraction because they can form O-H bonds, which can have strengths comparable to that of the C- H bond. By contrast, metals cannot accomplish the hydrogen abstraction because the M- H bonds are much weaker than the C-H bond. However, the sum of the M-H and M-C bond strengths can exceed the C-H bond strength, making the process thermodynamically possible. In this case, the reaction is thought to proceed via a three centered transition state, which can be described as a metal atom inserting into the C-H bond. The C-H bond bridges across the metal atom until it breaks, followed by the formation of the corresponding M-H and M-C bonds.1 Therefore, dehydrogenation of alkanes can be carried out on oxides as well as on metal catalysts. -
Methyl- 5/7- Substituted -2- (3,4-Dichloro) Benzoyl-4H-L,4- Benzothiazines As Bifunctional Anticancer Agents
Synthesis and Spectral studies of Nitrosourea derivatives of 3- Methyl- 5/7- Substituted -2- (3,4-dichloro) benzoyl-4H-l,4- Benzothiazines as Bifunctional Anticancer Agents. Rajni Gupta* and Vandana Gupta Department of Chemistry, University ofRajasthcm, Jaipur-302004, India Email: [email protected] Abstract: The synthesis of of 3-methyl-5/7- substituted-4- (N-propyl-N-nitrosoamido)- 2- (3,4-dichloro benzoyl) -4H- 1,4-Benzothiazines by the isocyanation and successive nitrosation of 3-methyl -5/7- substituted- 2- (3,4- dichlorobenzoyl) -4H-l,4-Benzothiazines has been reported. The synthesized compounds have been characterized by their elemental analyses and spectral characteristics. Introduction: Analogous to phenothiazines, benzothiazines possesss a wide spectrum of biological activities'. Their several derivatives are in clinical use2'7. They exhibit significant anticancer activities, which are assigned due to their interaction with DMA by complexation. Nitrosourea derivatives constitute an important class of anticancer agents and its several derivatives like MNNG, CNU, MNU, GANU, and CDL-7 etc. are clinically significant. They interact with DNA via alkylation 8"9. However their clinical use is limited because of cumulative and delayed side effects exerted by these compounds. Bone marrow toxicity being dose limiting, therefore it is worthwhile to develop a new series of nitrosoureas with minimum toxicity and side effects. 4H-1, 4- Benzothiazines are much less toxic and therefore it is anticipated that their nitrosourea derivatives will be potent anticancer agents with minimum toxicity, side effects etc. In 3-methyl-5/7- substituted-4- (N-propyl-N-nitrosoamido)- 2- (3,4-dichloro benzoyl) -4H-1.4- Benzothiazines heterocyclic nitrogen with a side chain at 4-position constitutes N-nitrosourea linkage and possess both 1,4-benzothiazines nucleus and a nitrosourea moiety . -
Thermal Conductivity Correlations for Minor Constituent Fluids in Natural
Fluid Phase Equilibria 227 (2005) 47–55 Thermal conductivity correlations for minor constituent fluids in natural gas: n-octane, n-nonane and n-decaneଝ M.L. Huber∗, R.A. Perkins Physical and Chemical Properties Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, CO 80305, USA Received 21 July 2004; received in revised form 29 October 2004; accepted 29 October 2004 Abstract Natural gas, although predominantly comprised of methane, often contains small amounts of heavier hydrocarbons that contribute to its thermodynamic and transport properties. In this manuscript, we review the current literature and present new correlations for the thermal conductivity of the pure fluids n-octane, n-nonane, and n-decane that are valid over a wide range of fluid states, from the dilute-gas to the dense liquid, and include an enhancement in the critical region. The new correlations represent the thermal conductivity to within the uncertainty of the best experimental data and will be useful for researchers working on thermal conductivity models for natural gas and other hydrocarbon mixtures. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product. -
