Supported palladium nanomaterials as catalysts for petroleum chemistry: 2. Kinetics and specific features of the mechanism of selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene in the presence of carbon-supported palladium nanocatalyst

The selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene (PhA) into styrene (St) in the presence of a palladium nanocatalyst has been investigated. Salient features of this reaction have been revealed, such as independence of the PhA hydrogenation and St hydrogenation (after exhaustion of PhA) rates from the PhA and St concentrations, respectively; their nearly first-order dependence on the hydrogen pressure; and the first order in catalyst loading. The experimental results obtained according to a special plan have been processed using computer programs for various reaction mechanisms. It has been found that adequate description is achieved for the only scheme involving the adsorption one to two PhA and/or St molecules and one to two hydrogen molecules on the active site of the same type. The presence of one hydrogen molecule on the active site leads to the hydrogenation of PhA to St or St to ethylbenzene (EB). In the presence of two adsorbed hydrogen molecules, PhA is selectively hydrogenated to St and nonselectively hydrogenated directly to EB. It has been shown that the nature of the selectivity of the palladium catalyst is determined by the thermodynamics of competitive adsorption of PhA and St. The activation energies of the individual steps of the process have been determined.

This paper aims to discuss the importance of patenting and publishing as an instrument of incentive to technological innovation in the petroleum chemistry area. The present study has examined the publications and the patent applications published from 1974 to 2014. A technological monitoring methodology for patents in drilling fluid with xanthan gum has been compared using profiles of patent application in the world, with emphasis on Industrial Property Databases available on the internet (INPI-Br, Derwent, Espacenet, Patent Scope and USPTO) with intention to assess the main inventors, applications, applications’ countries, the IPC classification, years of application and category of claims as well as discuss the importance of patents as a means of encouraging technological innovation of xanthan gum. The United States and China stand out both in relation to the publication of papers as well as in the amount of patent filing in scientific publications with the theme drilling fluid with additive xanthan gum classified by the authors’ country of origin. It is observed that Brazil and the US lead the ranking with 15 publications (about 23.1% of the total). Among the 72 institutions obtained as a result, both Petrobras SA and Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, lead the world ranking, with 6 publications each; in relation to the areas of knowledge, it is observed that engineering stands out in the publication of papers and the areas of chemistry, engineering, energy fuels and polymer science are noticeable in numbers of patent applications. The analysis of patent filings in the periods proposed features a significant percentage associated with the classification C09K.

A study of relations between physicochemical properties of crude oils and microbiological characteristics of reservoir microflora

The dependence of the population and activity of reservoir microflora upon the chemical composition and viscosity of crude oils has been investigated, since it allows the problem of improvement in the technologies and enhancement of oil recovery as applied to production of difficult types of oils with anomalous properties (viscous, heavy, waxy, high-resin) to be solved. The effect of the chemical composition of the oil on the number, distribution, and activity of reservoir microflora has been studied using data on the microbiological properties of reservoir water of 16 different fields in oil and gas basins of Russia, Mongolia, China, and Vietnam. Information on the physicochemical properties of crude oils of these fields has been obtained from the database created at the Institute of Petroleum Chemistry, Siberian Branch on the physicochemical properties of oils throughout the world. It has been found that formation water in viscous oil reservoirs is characterized by a large population of heterotrophic and sulfate-reducing bacteria and the water of oil fields with a high paraffin content, by population of denitrifying bacteria.

A Consensus on the State of the Knowledge and Research Recommendations on the Fate and Effects of Deep Water Releases of Oil, Dispersants and Dispersed Oil

ABSTRACT American Petroleum Institute (API) and its member companies have initiated a multi-year research program to generate information that can be used in subsea dispersant application decision-making. An important part of this program is the evaluation of biodegradation and toxicity of oil, dispersants and dispersed oil in a deepwater environment. The available scientific literature was reviewed by a panel of international experts in deepwater ecology, toxicology, microbiology, and petroleum chemistry, who summarized the state of the knowledge on these topics and recommended additional studies that would inform subsea dispersants decision-making. The recommended research projects have been funded by API. This paper summarizes findings to-date on toxicity and biodegradation of oil, dispersants and dispersed oil in deep water environments.
