A method and system for upgrading and separating hydrocarbon are provided. The method may include preheating hydrocarbon containing impurities, removing non-hydrocarbon impurities from the hydrocarbon using a hydroprocessing catalyst and hydrogen gas after inserting the preheated hydrocarbon into a reactor, and separating gas from liquid.

Method and system for upgrading and separating hydrocarbon oils

Disclosed is a method of removing organic acids from crude oil using a gas hydrate inhibitor and a catalyst in crude oil production facilities or oil-refining facilities, in which organic acids can be removed from crude oil by reacting the crude oil with mono-ethylene glycol (MEG), di-ethylene glycol (DEG), tri-ethylene glycol (TEG), methanol or derivatives thereof, as a gas hydrate inhibitor in the presence of a tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) catalyst, whereby the acidity of the crude oil can be lowered by 93% or more, and no catalyst deactivation occurs because magnesium (Mg)-based catalysts are not used. Furthermore, a continuous process is achieved in such a manner that the gas hydrate inhibitor and the catalyst are not discarded but are collected from the crude oil from which organic acids have been removed, and are thus recycled, thereby realizing environmentally friendly, economical and efficient removal of organic acids from crude oil.

Disclosed is a method of removing calcium from a hydrocarbon fraction using an extraction agent including 2-oxopropanal or derivatives thereof, the method including (S1) adding a hydrocarbon fraction with an extraction agent including 2-oxopropanal or derivatives thereof to give a mixture, (S2) converting an oil-soluble calcium compound into a water-soluble calcium compound by reacting the hydrocarbon fraction with the 2-oxopropanal or derivatives thereof, and (S3) removing the water-soluble calcium compound.

A process and apparatus for separating an olefin from mixed gases containing light olefins is provided. The process includes adsorbing the olefin of an olefin-containing mixed gas in an adsorption column packed with an adsorbent selectively adsorbing the olefin; discharging gases other than the olefin through the outlet of the adsorption column; desorbing the adsorbed olefin by displacement using a desorbent, and separating the olefin from the desorbent, thereby producing a high-purity olefin. The apparatus includes adsorption columns packed with an adsorbent selectively adsorbing an olefin, and at least two distillation columns for separating an olefin/desorbent mixture and an olefin poor stream/desorbent into their components. If the olefin concentration of the off-gas from an olefin rinse step is higher than that of a raw material gas, recovering the olefin from the off-gas is carried out before or after the adsorption step.

Provided is a preparation method of an oxygen-selective adsorbent selectively adsorbing oxygen in the air and an oxygen-selective adsorbent prepared thereby. The preparation method includes: preparing BaMg(CO)particles or particles in which MgCOor Mg(OH)are attached to the outside of BaMg(CO); and sintering the particles at a high temperature. The oxygen-selective adsorbent according to the present invention may adsorb oxygen in the air at a fast rate as compared with an existing oxygen-selective adsorbent and have high thermal stability and excellent oxygen adsorptivity.

A method and apparatus for concentrating and recovering ethylene from the off-gas from an apparatus which produces gasoline, propylene and the like by fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) of heavy oils such as atmospheric residue, generated in a crude oil refining process, is provided. The method and apparatus can reduce the amount of ethylene rinse in the subsequent ethylene displacement desorption process by increasing the ethylene purity of a raw material gas and reducing the concentration of weakly adsorbing components in the raw material gas and can reduce the loss of a desorbent during a distillation process for separating the desorbent from the weakly adsorbing components. Thus, ethylene can be recovered from the off-gas from fluidized catalytic cracking of heavy oils at high concentration and low cost.
