Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to methods of making application-specific finished lubricant compositions comprising bio-derived diester species. In some embodiments, bio-derived fatty acid moieties are reacted with Fischer-Tropsch/gas-to-liquids reaction products and/or by-products (e.g., gas-to-liquids-produced ?-olefins) to yield bio-derived diester species that can then be selectively blended with base oil and one or more additive species to yield an application-specific finished lubricant product having a biomass-derived component.

Abstract: Provided is an improved lithium complex grease. The grease composition has a higher thickener yield, yet good mechanical properties. The grease composition comprises a lubricating oil, a lithium complex thickener and a copolymer, which in one embodiment may comprise styrene and butadiene.

Abstract: A process for the production of transportation fuels from heavy hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is provided comprising a two-stage, close-coupled process, wherein the first stage comprises a hydrothermal zone into which is introduced a mixture comprising a feedstock and finely ground hydroprocessing catalyst having coke-suppressing and demetalizing activity, and hydrogen; and the second, close-coupled stage comprises a hydrocatalytic zone into which substantially all the effluent from the first stage is directly passed and processed under hydrocracking conditions. The first-stage ground catalyst may also be spent catalyst from which most metals have been removed.

Abstract: A continuous gas fluidized bed process is disclosed for the production of polymer from monomer wherein a gaseous stream comprising monomer is passed through a fluidized bed in a reaction zone in the presence of catalyst under reactive conditions, withdrawing from the reaction zone polymeric product and a stream comprising unreacted gases and solid particles, cooling the stream and recycling the cooled stream to the reaction zone together with sufficient additional monomer to replace monomer polymerized and withdrawn as polymer product, and wherein at least a part of the recycle stream is cooled to condense a portion thereof and form a liquid-containing mixture wherein the weight ratio of liquid to solid particles is not less than about two to one, and introducing the mixture into the reaction zone wherein the liquid in the mixture is vaporized.

Abstract: A process for the production of transportation fuels from heavy hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is provided comprising a two-stage, close-coupled process, wherein the first stage comprises a hydrothermal zone into which is introduced a mixture comprising a feedstock and metals-impregnated red mud having coke-suppressing and demetalizing activity, and hydrogen; and the second, close-coupled stage comprises a hydrocatalytic zone into which substantially all the effluent from the first stage is directly passed and processed under hydrocatalytic conditions. The preferred metals for impregnation include transition metals, in particular, nickel and molybdenum.

Abstract: A process for increasing the conversion of coal to ethyl acetate-soluble products comprising:(a) heating a slurry comprising a solvent and particulate coal in a dissolution zone to produce a first effluent slurry comprising ethyl acetate-soluble liquid components and ethyl acetate-insolubles;(b) contacting at least a portion of said first effluent slurry with hydrogen in a reaction zone in the presence of an externally-supplied hydrogenation catalyst under hydrogenation conditions to produce a second effluent slurry which comprises ethyl acetate-soluble liquid components and ethyl acetate-insolubles, said ethyl acetate insolubles comprising organic components and inorganic components;(c) partitioning said ethyl acetate-insolubles in at least a portion of said second effluent slurry to provide a solids-rich fraction containing ethyl acetate-insolubles enriched in inorganic components and a solids-lean fraction containing ethyl acetate insolubles enriched in organic components; and(d) recycling at least a porti
