Abstract: A process for mineral oil production, in which an aqueous formulation comprising tris(2-hydroxyphenyl)methane of the general formula (I) is injected into a mineral oil deposit through an injection well and the crude oil is withdrawn from the deposit through a production well, where the R1, R2 and R radicals in the formula (I) are each defined as follows: R is independently 1 to 2 hydrocarbyl radicals per phenyl ring, R1 is preferably H or OH, R2 are independently radicals of the general formula (III), —(R5—O—)n—R6—X??(III) where n is a number from 1-50, and where the R5 radicals are R7 groups R6 is a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, X is H or an acidic end group, R10 is, for example, C1-C6-hydrocarbyl radical, enables improved mineral oil production.

Abstract: A process for partial oxidation of hydrocarbons in a reactor, in which a stream comprising the hydrocarbon and a stream comprising the oxygen are fed to the reactor, wherein both streams fed to the reactor are conducted within the reactor separately through in each case one or more spatially separate lines, these lines having turbulence generators in their interior, owing to which, as a result of the imposed deflection of the flow direction downstream of turbulence generators, a highly turbulent flow field forms, and the streams are then mixed in a mixing zone after exiting from the lines and then converted in a reaction zone.
