The Chemical Structure of Asphaltene Derived from Coal Hydrogenation. Secondary Hydrogenation Reaction of Asphaltene.

Molecular Size Determination of Coal-Derived Asphaltene by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy

The molecular properties of asphaltenes have been the subject of uncertainty in the literature; in particular the molecular architecture is still a matter of debate. Some literature reports provide evidence that the contrast of petroleum asphaltenes versus coal-derived asphaltenes is useful for understanding the governing principles of asphaltene identity. Here, we employ fluorescence correlati...

Coal hydrogenation and environmental health.

Planning of coal hydrogenation processes, such as liquifaction and gasification, requires consideration of public health implications. Commercial plants will require coal quantities greater than or equal to 20,000 tons/day and the large size of these plants calls for careful consideration of the potential health hazards from the wastes and products of such processes. Analysis of pollution poten...

Predicting Kinetic Parameters of Acetylene Hydrogenation Reaction Via Optimization Techniques

In this study simulation and optimization of an industrial acetylene hydrogenation reactor was studied. Three well known kinetic models were used for a nearly similar catalyst to predict the industrial data. Due to the complexity of the reactions, none of the offered kinetic models could be considered as an exact kinetic model and it is necessary to determine the kinetic parameters. One of the ...
