Study Notes
Hydrocarbon Processing and Catalysis
- Superacid catalysis breaks down complex structures in processing heavy oils.
- Distillation is commonly used to separate different fractions of crude oil based on boiling points.
- Alkylation in hydrocarbon processing increases the octane number of gasoline.
- Superacid catalysis in processing heavy oils converts heavy oils into lighter fractions.
- Cracking involves high temperature processes like combustion and thermal cracking.
- Coal, tar sands, and natural gas are less preferred than crude oil due to their lower energy density.
- Petroleum processing provides raw materials needed for ammonia production.
- Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) chemistry converts biomass into biofuels.
- LPG and NG have different combustion temperatures, requiring specification when buying gas appliances.
- Condensation processes of oxidative nature involve the removal of H2 by an oxidant.
- Superacids cleave longer chain alkanes, resulting in the predominance of C3 - C6 products.
- Base catalyzed alkylation of alkylarenes in the benzylic position is an important reaction in hydrocarbon processing.
