  • Patent number: 10591396
    Abstract: A method is provided for determining the solubility parameters for a process stream via the joint use of turbidimetric detection of asphaltenes flocculation, which is used to determine and detect the onset flocculation of asphaltenes of the process stream, and a refractive index to determine the process stream solubility parameters such as the solubility blending number and insolubility number.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2020

  • Publication number: 20030180213
    Abstract: Multiple-component solid compositions including at least two intermingled, different solid oxides or hydroxides are provided which have extremely small crystallite sizes (at least one of the materials exhibits a crystallite size of about zero to 4 nm) and large surface areas. The compositions comprise at least two molecularly intermingled nanocrystalline materials selected from the group consisting of the oxides and hydroxides of the elements of Groups IIA, IIIA, IVA, the transition metals and the lanthanide series of the Periodic Table. The compositions are synthesized by separately preparing alkoxide solutions which are then mixed and hydrolyzed to give a gel; the gel is then treated to yield the desired hydroxide or oxide final composition. The compositions are useful for sorption of target materials such as undesireable compounds or biological materials. Extremely high surface area aluminum oxides having BET surface areas of at least about 700 m2/g are also disclosed.
