Experimental studies of radical reactions of hydrocarbons conversion

Abstract

Radical reactions are traditional objects of research in various fields of chemical kinetics for many decades; this is evidenced by works of academic A. L. Buchachenko [1–4]. On the example of these reactions the general regularities of chemical compounds transformation are found and explained. At the same time, the transformations of dispersed organic matter and hydrocarbon are the basis of oil and gas generation processes and are key in industrial oil and gas processing. These reasons make it very important to establish the mechanisms of transformation of organic matter and its transformation products in the development of processes in various external conditions. As a result of innovative researches by I. I. Nesterov [5–9], it can be considered reliably established that the transformation processes of dispersed organic matter proceed by a discrete radical-chain mechanism. The fragmentation of molecules with long chains of carbon atoms and ring molecules into smaller ones (cracking of hydrocarbons) is the basis of the conversion process of dispersed organic matter into hydrocarbons [10]. Over decades of research, the basic laws of these processes have been revealed, but some aspects of their mechanism and kinetics remain controversial. In this context, the aim of our study is to investigate the influence of wave fields to change the structure and composition of the hydrocarbons and oil NSOcompounds. Research methods are irradiation of crude oils and their fractions by a wave field with a constant frequency of 50 Hz and fixation by chromatographic methods of changing the fractional composition depending on the time of irradiation.
