  • Publication number: 20070112237
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process of preparing aromatic hydrocarbons and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from a hydrocarbon mixture, in which a non-aromatic compound in the hydrocarbon feedstock mixture is converted into a gaseous material having a large amount of LPG through hydrocracking, and an aromatic compound therein is converted into an oil component having large amounts of benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) through dealkylation and transalkylation, in the presence of a catalyst obtained by supporting platinum/bismuth onto a mixture support having zeolite and an inorganic binder. The gaseous product is separated into LPG and a mixture of methane and ethane depending on differences in boiling point through distillation, while the liquid product is separated into benzene, toluene, xylene, and C9+ aromatic compounds depending on differences in boiling point through distillation.

  • Patent number: 7189289
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cleaning agent for heater tubes, which is capable of eliminating deposits such as soot particulates in tubes installed in industrial heaters that typically use oil, coal or gas. The cleaning agent of the present invention is prepared by formulating a chemical composition comprising ammonium nitrate into pellets. Also, the present invention discloses a method of cleaning heater tubes using the cleaning agent. When being utilized for cleaning the heater tubes, the cleaning agent can improve mechanical and chemical cleaning effects, thus shortening of working time and reducing a required amount of the chemical composition, as well as preventing rapid evaporation of the chemical composition, thus increasing cleaning effect. In addition, the cleaning agent can eliminate the cementing effect of sulfur oxides or vanadic oxides in the heater tubes and thus control stably emission of NOx, by selectively containing other additives including magnesium and urea.

  • Publication number: 20070010699
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing light olefins from hydrocarbon feedstock. The process is characterized in that a porous molecular sieve catalyst consisting of a product obtained by evaporating water from a raw material mixture comprising a molecular sieve with a framework of Si—OH—Al— groups, a water-insoluble metal salt, and a phosphate compound, is used to produce light olefins, particularly ethylene and propylene, from hydrocarbon, while maintaining excellent selectivity to light olefins. According to the process, by the use of a specific catalyst with hydrothermal stability, light olefins can be selectively produced in high yield with high selectivity from hydrocarbon feedstock, particularly full-range naphtha. In particular, the process can maintain higher cracking activity than the reaction temperature required in the prior thermal cracking process for the production of light olefins, and thus, can produce light olefins with high selectivity and conversion from hydrocarbon feedstock.

  • Patent number: 7132112
    Abstract: A novel method of vehicle modulated administration of an anticonvulsive agent to the mucous membranes of humans and animals is disclosed. The vehicle system is an aqueous pharmaceutical carrier comprising an aliphatic alcohol (10–80%) or a glycol (10–80%), and their combinations with a biological surfactant such as a bile salt or a lecithin. The pharmaceutical composition provides a means to control and promote the rate and extent of transmucosal permeation and absorption of the medicaments via a single and multiple administration. Nasal administration of the pharmaceutical preparation produces a high plasma concentration of the anticonvulsant nearly as fast as intravenous administration. Such compositions are particularly suitable for a prompt and timely medication of patients in the acute and/or emergency treatment of status epilepticus and other fever-induced seizures.
