  • Selective Production of Phase-Separable Product from a Mixture of Biomass-Derived Aqueous Oxygenates
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07593-0 OPEN Selective production of phase-separable product from a mixture of biomass-derived aqueous oxygenates Yehong Wang 1, Mi Peng2, Jian Zhang1, Zhixin Zhang1, Jinghua An1,3, Shuyan Du1, Hongyu An1,3, Fengtao Fan1, Xi Liu 4,5, Peng Zhai2, Ding Ma 2 & Feng Wang1 1234567890():,; Selective conversion of an aqueous solution of mixed oxygenates produced by biomass fermentation to a value-added single product is pivotal for commercially viable biomass utilization. However, the efficiency and selectivity of the transformation remains a great challenge. Herein, we present a strategy capable of transforming ~70% of carbon in an aqueous fermentation mixture (ABE: acetone–butanol–ethanol–water) to 4-heptanone (4- HPO), catalyzed by tin-doped ceria (Sn-ceria), with a selectivity as high as 86%. Water (up to 27 wt%), detrimental to the reported catalysts for ABE conversion, was beneficial for producing 4-HPO, highlighting the feasibility of the current reaction system. In a 300 h continuous reaction over 2 wt% Sn-ceria catalyst, the average 4-HPO selectivity is main- tained at 85% with 50% conversion and > 90% carbon balance. This strategy offers a route for highly efficient organic-carbon utilization, which can potentially integrate biological and chemical catalysis platforms for the robust and highly selective production of value-added chemicals. 1 State Key Laboratory of Catalysis, Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian 116023, China. 2 College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering and College of Engineering, BIC-ESAT, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China.

  • Analysis of Trace Hydrocarbon Impurities in 1,3-Butadiene Using Optimized Rt®-Alumina BOND/MAPD PLOT Columns by Rick Morehead, Jan Pijpelink, Jaap De Zeeuw, Tom Vezza
    Petroleum & Petrochemical Applications Analysis of Trace Hydrocarbon Impurities in 1,3-Butadiene Using Optimized Rt®-Alumina BOND/MAPD PLOT Columns By Rick Morehead, Jan Pijpelink, Jaap de Zeeuw, Tom Vezza Abstract Identifying and quantifying trace impurities in 1,3-butadiene is critical in producing high quality synthetic rubber products. Stan- dard analytical methods employ alumina PLOT columns which yield good resolution for low molecular weight hydrocarbons, but suffer from irreproducibility and poor sensitivity for polar hydrocarbons. In this study, Rt®-Alumina BOND/MAPD PLOT columns were used to separate both common light polar contaminants, including methyl acetylene and propadiene, as well as 4-vinylcy- clohexene, which is a high molecular weight impurity that normally requires a second test on an alternative column. By using an extended temperature program that employs the full thermal range of the column, 4-vinylcyclohexene, as well as all of the typical low molecular weight impurities in 1,3-butadiene, can be analyzed in a single test. Introduction 1,3-butadiene is typically isolated from products of the naphtha steam cracking process. Prior to purification, 1,3-butadiene can be contaminated with significant amounts of isobutene as well as other C4 isomers. In addition to removing these C4 isomeric contaminants during purification, it is also important that 1,3-butadiene be free of propadiene and methyl acetylene, which can interfere with catalytic polymerization. Alumina PLOT columns are the most commonly used GC column for this application, but the determination of polar hydrocarbon impurities at trace levels can be quite challenging and is highly dependent on the deactiva- tion of the alumina surface.

  • Next Generation PLOT Alumina Technology for Accurate Measurement of Trace Polar Hydrocarbons in Hydrocarbon Streams
    Next generation PLOT alumina technology for accurate measurement of trace polar hydrocarbons in hydrocarbon streams Jaap de Zeeuw, Tom Vezza, Bill Bromps, Rick Morehead and Gary Stidsen Restek Corporation, Bellefonte, USA 1 Next generation PLOT alumina technology for accurate measurement of trace polar hydrocarbons in hydrocarbon streams Jaap de Zeeuw, Tom Vezza, Bill Bromps, Rick More head and Gary Stidsen Restek Corporation Summary In light hydrocarbon analysis, the separation and detection of traces of polar hydrocarbons like acetylene, propadiene and methyl acetylene is very important. Using commercial alumina columns with KCl or Na2SO4 deactivation, often results in low response of polar hydrocarbons. Additionally, challenges are observed in response-in time stability. Solutions have been proposed to maximize response for components like methyl acetylene and propadiene, using alumina columns that were specially deactivated. Operating such columns showed still several challenges: Due to different deactivations, the retention and loadability of such alumina columns has been drastically reduced. A new Alumina deactivation technology was developed that combined the high response for polar hydrocarbon with maintaining the loadability. This allows the high response for components like methyl acetylene, acetylene and propadiene, also to be used for impurity analysis as well as TCD type applications. Such columns also showed excellent stability of response in time, which was superior then existing solutions. Additionally, it was observed that such alumina columns could be used up to 250 C, extending the Tmax by 50C. This allows higher hydrocarbon elution, faster stabilization and also widens application scope of any GC where multiple columns are used. In this poster the data is presented showing the improvements made in this important application field.

  • ETHYLENE PLANT ENHANCEMENT (April 2001)
    Abstract Process Economics Program Report 29G ETHYLENE PLANT ENHANCEMENT (April 2001) The prospects for ethylene demand remain strong but much of the future increase in production capacity may come from incremental enhancement of existing plants, rather than from new “grass-roots” production facilities. Steam cracking for ethylene originated as early as the 1920s and was commercialized in the 1950s. The importance of ethylene continues to drive research and development of this technology along with the exploration of nonconventional technologies in order to achieve higher yields of olefins and lower capital and operating costs. However, as recently discussed in PEP Report 29F, Ethylene by Nonconventional Processes (August 1998), it is unlikely nonconventional processes will replace steam cracking for ethylene production in the foreseeable future. This study examines potential improvements in conventional steam cracker operations with emphasis on improving the competitive edge of existing plants. Ethane, LPG and naphtha are the dominant steam cracker feedstocks. Natural gas condensate is abundant in North America and the Middle East while naphtha is commonly used in Asia and Europe. Since the 1970s many new ethylene plants have been built with feedstock flexibility. In PEP Report 220, Ethylene Feedstock Outlook (May 1999), SRIC currently projects that generally ethylene feedstocks supply will be adequate over the next decade even considering that the demand for ethylene is increasing twice as fast as petroleum refining (4- 5%/year versus 2%/year). Significant technological developments exist for all sections of the ethylene steam cracker that could be implemented in plant revamps. Examples include new large capacity yet compact and efficient furnaces; coke inhibition technology; larger, more efficient compressors; fractionation schemes; mixed refrigerants; and advance control and optimization systems.
