A method of upgrading naphtha and diesel yields from fluid catalytic cracking and hydrocracking units by improving a feed quality of a petroleum feedstock, product or fraction mixture. The method of improving the feed quality of the petroleum feedstock, product or fraction mixture occurs by first determining the API Gravity of a petroleum feedstock, product or fraction mixture. A temperature at which about fifty percent of the petroleum feedstock, product or fraction boils (T) is then determined. The feed quality for the petroleum feedstock, product or fraction mixture as determined from the API Gravity and the Tfor the feedstock, product or fraction mixture is then estimated followed by adjusting the petroleum feedstock, product or fraction mixture to achieve a higher feed quality.

Methodology to determine feed quality (di+ring aromatic content) of FCC and hydrocracking feeds

Attrition resistant, sorbent compositions for the removal of elemental sulfur and sulfur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide and organic sulfides, from cracked-gasoline and diesel fuels are prepared by the impregnation of a sorbent support comprising zinc oxide, expanded perlite, and alumina with a promoter such as nickel, nickel oxide or a precursor of nickel oxide followed by reduction of the valence of the promoter metal in the resulting promoter metal sorbent support composition. Also disclosed is a composition comprising desulfurized, cracked-gasoline wherein the desulfurized cracked-gasoline comprises less than about 1 ppmw thiol compounds and less than about 1 ppmw tetrahydrothiophene compounds.

Desulfurization and sorbents for same

A process for hydrotreating acidic compounds of an acidic petroleum oil is disclosed. The process includes contacting the acidic petroleum oil with a hydrogen donor solvent to thereby produce a treated petroleum oil. The process can further include contacting a fraction or a full-boiling range portion of the treated petroleum oil with a hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of hydrogen and under process conditions sufficient to hydrogenate at least a portion of the hydrocarbons of the fraction or full-boiling range portion; and utilizing at least a portion of the hydrogenated fraction or full-boiling range portion as the hydrogen donor solvent.

Attrition resistant, sorbent compositions for the removal of elemental sulfur and sulfur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide and organic sulfides, from cracked-gasoline and diesel fuels are prepared by the impregnation of a sorbent support comprising zinc oxide, expanded perlite, and alumina with a promoter such as nickel, nickel oxide or a precursor of nickel oxide followed by reduction of the valence of the promoter metal in the resulting promoter metal sorbent support composition.

A catalyst composition comprising a cobalt compound, a molybdenum compound, and a SAPO molecular sieve is used to hydrodesulfurize a hydrocarbon feed containing organic sulfur compounds.

Sapo-supported hydrodesulfurization catalyst and processes therefor and therewith

Hydrocarbon-containing fluid compositions are provided comprising at least one hydrocarbon fluid, at least one heteroaromatic, and at least one hydrazine additive. The resulting composition has reduced temporal formation of colored materials and/or gummy deposits. Additionally, antioxidant additives are combined with the above composition and provide a further reduction in the formation of colored materials and/or gummy deposits.

Stabilization of hydrocarbons by the addition of hydrazine

An electrorheological material containing a carrier fluid and an ionic dye particle component which is an ionically charged compound based on or derived from a conjugated hydrocarbon compound. A preferred ionically charged compound contains at least one aromatic nucleus that has been sulfonated and/or carboxylated to form a negatively charged system which has, in turn, been offset with a positive ion. The electrorheological material is useful for creating aesthetic visual effects and responds quickly to an electric field.

Ionic dye-based electrorheological materials

A transparent electrorheological fluid having a fluid component, a particle component, and an activator wherein the index of refraction mismatch between the fluid component and the particle component is less than about 0.02 and wherein the conductivity of the particle component is at least about three times greater than the conductivity of the fluid component and is in the range of from about 1.times.10.sup.-5 s/m to about 1.times.10.sup.-9 s/m.
