Distribution of calcium, nickel, iron, and manganese in super-heavy oil from Liaohe Oilfield, China

Liaohe super-heavy crude oil was separated into its components, namely saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes （SARA）, by the group separation method. Several solvents were used to extract different forms of metallic elements from crude oil. The metallic elements, such as calcium, nickel, iron and manganese, in crude oil, SARA and extract samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy （ICP-AES）. The results demonstrate that the contents of calcium, nickel, iron, and manganese gradually increase in saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes, suggesting that the abundance of the four metallic elements in asphaltenes is much higher than that in the other groups. For example, the content of calcium in asphaltenes reaches a maximum of 7,920 pg/g. Among the SARA components of Liaohe super-heavy crude oil, resins account for more than 50 wt%, suggesting that the total amount of the four metallic elements are higher in the resin component than in other components. The four metallic elements mainly exist in the form of organic metallic compounds in crude oil. Further analysis shows that calcium and manganese elements exist mainly as metal salts of petroleum acids, and the majority of the iron and all the nickel exist mainly as metalloporphyrin and non-metalloporphyrin compounds.     

金属卟啉催化空气氧化甲苯制取苯甲醛及苯甲醇的新工艺

在少量简单金属钴卟啉的催化下,无需外加溶剂及反应引发剂,甲苯可由空气直接选择性液相催化成为苯甲醛及苯甲醇。反应结果表明反应时间、反应温度、压力、催化剂用量及空气流量等工艺参数的变化对反应都有影响。在165℃、0．8MPa、3．4ppm及40L／h空气流量的最佳反应条件下,甲苯的转化率可以达到8．7％,同时醛醇选择性可以达到近60％。同传统空气氧化甲苯制取苯甲醛体系相比,此催化体系工艺条件简单、清洁无污染,产品质量好。研究结果表明,金属卟啉存在下的催化空气氧化甲苯制取苯甲醛及苯甲醇的反应经历了一个由金属卟啉引发的自由基反应历程。
