In this study, an integrated structure of the air separation unit, natural gas liquids recovery equipped with nitrogen removal unit is developed. In this regard, advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses are used to examine the irreversibility, possible improvements and the cost of the inefficiencies of the process. The exergy analysis presents information on the origin of the irreversibility...

A method is described for the systemic identification and quantitative analysis of nitrogen-containing compounds and other non-hydrocarbons in crude oils. The pre-fractionation of a crude oil sample into 7 fractions was performed by di-adsorption column chromatography using neutral aluminum oxide and silica gel. A subsequent high-resolution separation of individual components was achieved by us...

We have established a procedure for removing interfering materials from extracts of geological and biological samples, in order to determine precise compound-specific nitrogen isotopic compositions of amino acids. We employed cation-exchange chromatography of protein and non-protein amino acids prior to derivatization for gas chromatographic separation. The average recovery of a standard amino ...

nitrogen is produced mainly from its most abundant source, the air, using three processes: membrane, pressure swing adsorption (psa) and cryogenic. the most common method for evaluating a process is using the selection diagrams based on feasibility studies. since the selection diagrams are presented by different companies, they are biased, and provide unsimilar and even controversial results. i...

An ion chromatography method with non-suppressed conductivity detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of methylamines (methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine) and trimethylamine-N-oxide in particulate matter air samples. The analytes were well separated by means of cation-exchange chromatography using a 3 mM nitric acid/3.5% acetonitrile (v/v) eluent solution and a Metros...
