Abstract
Although the quality of coal tar does not meet the demands for blended marine fuel, the properties of its components after processing are improved, and they can be considered as inexpensive blending components. Three types of coal tar products including light coal tar I, light coal tar II, and hydrogenated coal tar have been obtained and used in production of residual marine fuels. To minimize costs, a linear optimization method has been used, and all properties of the resulting products have met the required criteria. In addition, a novel analytical method was used to characterize the fuel stability. The analysis of a hydrocarbon composition and a mechanism of interaction between the resin and asphaltene have shown the main coal tar components affecting fuel oil stability are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and resin. A condensation of PAHs and resin into asphaltene and an increasing complexity of asphaltene structure causes deposition of oil products under heating. Hydrogenation is able to effectively reduce the PAH content and the volume of formation of massive asphaltenes thus preventing fuel flocculation and deposition during aging in fuel tanks.
摘要 虽然煤焦油的质量不符合船用混合燃料的要求,但其组分经加工后性能得到改善,可作为廉价的混合组分。目前已获得三种煤焦油产品,包括轻质煤焦油 I、轻质煤焦油 II 和加氢煤焦油,并将其用于生产船用残余燃料。为了最大限度地降低成本,我们采用了线性优化方法,所得产品的所有特性均符合所需标准。此外,还采用了一种新的分析方法来确定燃料的稳定性。对碳氢化合物成分以及树脂和沥青质之间相互作用机理的分析表明,影响燃料油稳定性的主要煤焦油成分是多环芳烃(PAHs)和树脂。多环芳烃和树脂凝结成沥青质,沥青质结构越来越复杂,导致加热时油品沉积。加氢处理可有效降低多环芳烃含量和大量沥青质的形成量,从而防止燃料在油箱中老化时发生絮凝和沉积。
期刊介绍:
Petroleum Chemistry (Neftekhimiya), founded in 1961, offers original papers on and reviews of theoretical and experimental studies concerned with current problems of petroleum chemistry and processing such as chemical composition of crude oils and natural gas liquids; petroleum refining (cracking, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming); catalysts for petrochemical processes (hydrogenation, isomerization, oxidation, hydroformylation, etc.); activation and catalytic transformation of hydrocarbons and other components of petroleum, natural gas, and other complex organic mixtures; new petrochemicals including lubricants and additives; environmental problems; and information on scientific meetings relevant to these areas.
Petroleum Chemistry publishes articles on these topics from members of the scientific community of the former Soviet Union.
