  • Publication number: 20240034923
    Abstract: Disulfide solvents may be particularly effective for dissolving deposits comprising elemental sulfur, but the extreme odor of these solvent may make their use rather problematic. Solvent blends comprising at least one disulfide solvent, amine solvent, ketone solvent, and ester solvent may afford a less obnoxious odor and not appreciably compromise the sulfur dissolution capabilities. Surfaces contacted with such solvent blends or at least partially spent variants thereof may exhibit excessive odor due to loss of one or more of the amine, ketone, or ester solvents. Excessive odor resulting from a solvent residue upon a surface may be alleviated by contacting the surface with at least one oxidant. Odor balance may also be restored to at least partially spent solvent blends by introducing additional ester solvent, which may convert a biphasic mixture into an emulsion comprising the disulfide solvent.

  • Publication number: 20240034936
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pyrolysis method for recovering at least one component from a feedstock material using a thermal treatment. The feedstock material is delivered to a pyrolytic chamber (1), exposed to a controlled atmosphere, and heated to a treatment temperature of the at least one component in the pyrolytic chamber (1) by applying microwave energy. The pyrolysis breakdown products are separated by fractional condensation and a targeted component is decomposed in microwave plasma. The microwave plasma is generated such that plasma temperature is varied over a temperature range including a decomposition and/or cracking temperature of the at least one component.

  • Publication number: 20240034939
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for obtaining a liquid fuel from waste from plastic or polymer material, which, according to its structure of steps and devices, allows lower energy use with respect to the disclosure in the prior art. In addition, by means of the method and system, the load of plastic and polymer waste in the environment, mainly waste that may be destined for landfill, is reduced. Thus, in addition to waste material being reduced, energy is recovered at highly favourable cost, as a result of the layout of electric heating elements for delivering the energy or heat needed to correctly transform the waste material, in short processing periods and with the adaptability of being able to be formed from moveable, transportable systems, even large industrial installations.

  • Publication number: 20240034944
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to processes and systems for producing liquid transportation fuels by converting a feed stream that predominantly comprises isobutane. The feed stream is catalytically-activated in two separate reaction zones arranged in series in a manner that minimizes the production of C1-C3 light paraffins and is tolerant to the presence of typical catalyst poisons. The first reaction zone is selective for conversion of the feed stream to predominantly olefins and some aromatics. The second reaction zone is maintained at a lower temperature and a higher pressure and is selective for converting olefins to monocyclic aromatics which facilitates further feed stream olefination. Certain embodiments contact the activation effluent with an alkylation catalyst to provide enhanced yields of upgraded hydrocarbon products that meet specifications for a transportation fuel blend component.

  • Publication number: 20240034946
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for processing liquefied waste polymers containing diolefins and naphtha. Hydrotreatment A of the diolefins produces a diolefin depleted LWP feed which is separated by distillation B to give rise to one or more distillates containing at least a naphtha fraction, an optional middle fraction and a distillation bottom. Hydroprocessing C of the naphtha fraction gives rise to hydrogenated naphtha fraction which is suitable as a feed for a steam cracker D. The distillation bottom and the middle fraction can mixed with crude oil and used in oil refinerery since they are predominantly free from diolefins.
