208208R, 208254 R, 208237, 208238, 208219, 208220, 208222, 208223, 208273, 208282

Abstract:

A method of upgrading a heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed by removing heteroatom contaminants is disclosed. The method includes contacting the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed with an oxidant and an immiscible acid to oxidize the heteroatoms, contacting the oxidized-heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed with caustic and a selectivity promoter, and removing the heteroatom contaminants from the heteroatom-containing hydrocarbon feed. The oxidant may be used in the presence of a catalyst.

Abstract:

Catalysts amenable to oxidizing sulfur compounds and systems and methods of using these catalysts to effect the removal of sulfur from crude oil and crude oil distillates are disclosed. The catalyst is disposed with a titanyl moiety which serves to selectively coordinate sulfur compounds and affect their oxidation. The titanyl may be bound within a polymer or on the surface of a polymer or on the surface or in the pores of an inorganic support. The resulting oxidized sulfur compounds are readily separated from the initial crude oil or crude oil distillate streams by traditional separation techniques arrayed as described in the systems and methods disclosed.

Assignee:

General Electric Company

International Classification:

C01F001/00
C01C001/00

US Classification:

423/659000

Abstract:

A device and method for normalizing the gas flow through multiple reaction vessels used for conducting and analyzing simultaneous reactions. The device includes a plurality of reaction vessels having different first gas flow rates and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the gas flow through each of the reaction vessels to produce a second gas flow rate that is substantially the same for each of the reaction vessels. The method includes connecting the reaction vessels to a controlled vacuum source, one at a time, and adding an amount of various condensed phased materials to the reaction vessels to produce a predetermined second pressure drop reading corresponding to a second gas flow rate that is substantially the same for each of the reaction vessels.
