Selective Removal Of Nitrogen-Containing Compounds From Hydrocarbon Mixtures

View page
US Patent:
44241216, Jan 3, 1984
Filed:
Jul 30, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/403925
Inventors:
Henry W. Choi - Irvine CA
Martin B. Dines - Laguna Beach CA
Assignee:
Occidental Research Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
C10G 2100
C10G 2106
US Classification:
208254R
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for reducing the nitrogen content of hydrocarbon liquids. The method comprises contacting the hydrocarbon liquid with a solid metal salt capable of selectively extracting nitrogen-containing compounds from the hydrocarbon liquid to thereby form a nitrogen-rich solid extract. Nitrogen-lean hydrocarbon liquid is then separated from the solid extract. The solid extract is washed with a solvent capable of selectively dissolving non-nitrogen-containing compounds entrained in the solid extract. The solid extract is then treated with a release agent for selectively dissolving nitrogen-containing compounds to thereby recover the metal salt. The presently preferred metal salt is cupric chloride.

Abstract:
Layered solid inorganic polymers having at least one organo group anchored to a surface of the polymer, and which can be useful in catalysis, lubrication, ion-exchange, chromatography and absorption processes, can be made by reacting at least one tetravalent metal (e. g. , zirconium, cerium, thorium, uranium, lead, hafnium, titanium, etc. ) and two or more acids selected from phosphoric acid, phosphonic acid and organophosphorus acids of the formula ((HO). sub. 2 OP). sub. n R wherein n is 1 or 2 and R is an organo group covalently bonded to the phosphorus atom. Preferably the reaction is conducted with a stoichiometric excess of phosphorus acids in a liquid medium in which a compound of the metal is soluble. The covalent bonding can be through oxygen to produce phosphates, or through carbon to produce phosphonates.

Abstract:
Dichalcogenides of Group IVb, Vb, molybdenum and tungsten of two new forms have been discovered. The two new forms are the amorphous and layered-sheet configurations. In particular, the dichalcogenides of Group IVb, Ib, molybdenum and tungsten, i. e. Z(MX. sub. 2). sub. n wherein M is the metal and X is the chalcogen, n is at least about 20,000 and Z is the number of such (MX. sub. 2). sub. n sheets ranging from 1-10, can be described as possessing a "rag-like" structure representing a system consisting of single or several stacked but randomly folded and disordered layers or sheets having dimensions (as determined by TEM) corresponding to about 6. 2 to 62 A in thickness, about 500 A minimum length by about 500 A minimum width. Broadly the rag-like (MX. sub. 2). sub. n can be likened to a stack of polymer sheets wherein each sheet is one atom thick.

6/133859
Inventors:
Peter M. DiGiacomo - Mission Viejo CA
Martin B. Dines - Santa Ana CA
Assignee:
Occidental Research Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
C08G 6700

Abstract:
A process for producing layered organometallic polymers having organo groups covalently bonded to pentavalent metal atoms. The pentavalent metal atoms are, in turn, covalently bonded through an oxygen linkage to tetravalent metal atoms. The layered organometallic compounds are produced by reacting a silyl diester of an organo-substituted pentavalent metal acid with at least one tetravalent metal ion.
