Publication number: 20190071609Abstract: Deep desulfurization of hydrocarbon feeds containing undesired organosulfur compounds to produce a hydrocarbon product having low levels of sulfur, i.e., 15 ppmw or less of sulfur, is achieved by with an apparatus arranged for flashing the feed at a target cut point temperature to obtain two fractions. A low boiling temperature fraction contains refractory, sterically hindered sulfur-containing compounds, which have a boiling point at or above the target cut point temperature. A high boiling temperature fraction, having a boiling point below the target cut point temperature, is substantially free of refractory sulfur-containing compounds. The high boiling temperature fraction is contacted with isomerization catalyst, and the isomerized effluent and the low boiling temperature fraction are combined and contacted with a hydrotreating catalyst in a hydrodesulfurization reaction zone operating under mild conditions to reduce the quantity of organosulfur compounds to an ultra-low level.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventor: Omer Refa KOSEOGLU

Publication number: 20190071613Abstract: An additive composition for use in a fuel for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine comprises an octane-boosting additive and one or more further fuel additives. The octane-boosting additive has a chemical structure comprising a 6-membered aromatic ring sharing two adjacent aromatic carbon atoms with a 6- or 7-membered saturated heterocyclic ring, the 6- or 7-membered saturated heterocyclic ring comprising a nitrogen atom directly bonded to one of the shared carbon atoms to form a secondary amine and an atom selected from oxygen or nitrogen directly bonded to the other shared carbon atom, the remaining atoms in the 6- or 7-membered heterocyclic ring being carbon. The additive composition increases the octane number of the fuel, thereby proving the auto-ignition characteristics of a fuel.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2017Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventors: Rana ALI, Sorin Vasile FILIP

Publication number: 20190071614Abstract: A continuous process and apparatus for treating dried coal and coal char to promote passivation of the reactive carbon particles by forming a protective oxide coating and simultaneously adding moisture to rehydrate said particles. The passivation process is conducted in a novel apparatus providing for the staged control of the reaction temperature and the staged introduction of both oxygen and moisture. The fluidized bed apparatus has internal in-bed cooling means embedded within the fluidized coal or coal char particles so as to remove the heat energy as it is released by virtue of the exothermic passivation reactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Applicant: C2O Technologies, LLCInventors: Franklin G.

Publication number: 20190071615Abstract: Polyalkyl(meth)acrylate based comb polymers with weight-average molecular weights of 700,000 g/mol or greater and number-average molecular weights of 130,000 g/mol or greater can be used to improve the high temperature-high shear performance of lubricant compositions, especially of engine oil (EO) compositions. These polymers can be obtained in a reaction mixture comprising monomers, a dilution oil, and an initiator. The resulting lubricant compositions can have improved kinematic viscosity and high temperature high shear performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Applicant: Evonik Oil Additives GmbHInventors: Katrin SCHÖLLER, Sarah LIPPERT, Wolfgang TSCHEPAT, Klaus SCHIMOSSEK
