Patent number: 10478801Abstract: The present invention relates to the process of obtaining adsorbent materials based upon supported metal species on porous silicates, and their use for reducing the amount of sulfur and nitrogen contaminants in petroleum fractions and products derived of, i.e., light and heavy gas oils, FCC gasoline and fuels, where FCC stands for Fluid Catalytic Cracking process. The invention comprises the selection, preparation, modification and adsorptive properties of the abovementioned porous materials, which are based on porous silicates with metal species intercalated and/or impregnated, such as Ti(O,OH), Mg(O, OH)—, Zr(O, OH)—, Fe(O, OH), Al(O, OH). Also, additional options were considered, for example those comprising metals from the 1st and 2nd transition series, such as Cu+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Ag+, Co2+, Ti4+, V2+,5+, Cr3+ and Mn2+.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL PETROLEOInventors: Patricia Flores Sanchez, Jose Manuel Dominguez Esquivel, Jorge Arturo Aburto Anell

Patent number: 10384247Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for efficient methods and processes for preparing ionic amino acid esters from a specific synthesis route. The disclosed embodiments consist of a single reaction step: reacting a natural or synthetic unprotected amino acid with an aliphatic, branched or aromatic fatty alcohol of even or odd number of carbon atoms from 6 to 20 with or without unsaturation(s), in stoichiometric amounts, in the presence of an organic acid (HX) like carboxylate, mesylate, tosylate or sulfonate, employed as catalyst and under conventional heating (CC) of 1 to 3 hours at a temperature in the range of approximately 60 to 150° C. and pressure the range of approximately 0 to approximately 250 psi; the product obtained is cooled and recrystallized from ethanol.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Instituto Mexicano Del PetroleoInventors: Rafael Martínez Palou, Ricardo Cerón Camacho, Alba Adriana Vallejo Cardona, Romeo Jesús Reyes Ávila, Juan de la Cruz Clavel Lopez, César Bernal Huicochea, Mario Ramiréz De Santiago, Jorge Arturo Aburto Anell

Patent number: 10017831Abstract: Bacterial cultures of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans are isolated, maintained and identified and used in the treatment of materials containing sulfur-compounds, such as contaminated and/or spent catalysts with elemental sulfur (S). Bacterial cultures of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans exhibit sulfur-oxidizing activity particularly useful in the transformation of elemental sulfur (S) to sulfates (SO4), a compound soluble in water (H2O) and usable in industry. The bacterial cultures of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans are mainly used as a biological or biotechnological procedure for the treatment of contaminated and/or spent catalysts with elemental sulfur (S) hazardous contaminated wastes that are mainly, but not exclusively, from the Claus process that operates at environmental conditions; does not impact the environment or ecosystem; and recovers 91-100% of the elemental sulfur (S) in sulfate form (SO4).Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignees: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL PETROLEO, INSTITUTO POLITECNICO NACIONALInventors: Roberto Garcia De Leon, Norma Gabriela Rojas Avelizapa, Jorge Arturo Aburto Anell, Regina Hernandez Gama, Marlenne Gomez Ramirez

Patent number: 9677009Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for breaking of preferred, but not exclusive, oil-in-water emulsions (O/W) and water separation from crude oil emulsions using surfactants as demulsifying agents derived from natural or synthetic amino acids, which are water soluble. The surfactants are of the methanesulfonate series of glycine ester derivatives with hydrocarbon chains, preferably between C10 and C16, at a concentration between 450 and 900 ppm, at a temperature range of 30 to 60° C. The removal of water from the crude oil by using natural or synthetic amino acid-based demulsifiers is highly efficient (about 80%) and complemented with the action of an electric field typically used in electrostatic separators in crude oil terminals ad oil refineries, increasing the efficiency of water separation substantially, and enabling the production of dehydrated crude oil for further processing.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL PETROLEOInventors: Romeo Jesus Reyes Avila, Rafael Martinez Palou, Ricardo Ceron Camacho, Alba Adriana Vallejo Cardona, Rafael Rodriguez Dominguez, Benjamin Chavez Gomez, Jorge Arturo Aburto Anell

Patent number: 9366387Abstract: A process allows working with viscous petroleum referred to as “heavy and extra heavy crudes” such as 20 to 6° API by adding an appropriate biosurfactant to an aqueous phase containing a biosurfactant active compound. The surfactant can be alkyl glycosides, glycerol esters and alkyl betaines. The result is the formation of a stable crude/water emulsion even with salt present therein.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL PETROLEOInventors: Jorge Arturo Aburto Anell, Beatriz Zapata Rendón, María de Lourdes Araceli Mosqueira Mondragón, Luis Manuel Quej Aké, Eugenio Alejandro Flores Oropeza, Flavio Salvador Vázquez Moreno, Cesar Bernal Huicochea, Juan de la Cruz Clavel López, Mario Ramírez de Santiago
