Identification of Oil Pollution Sources by a Set of Modern Instrumental Methods

Source of contamination of the soil and water with oil can be exactly identified by a set of instrumental methods such as atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence analysis, and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.     

Prediction of the Quality of Petroleum Bitumens

The common and specific features of quality standard and substandard bitumens were studied by elemental analysis and by determining the yield and composition of toluene-insoluble substances, the composition and concentration of impurities in standard and substandard bitumens, and the group composition of bitumens before and after aging.     

Molecular Oxygen and Oxygen- and Nitrogen-Containing Compounds in Diesel Fractions of West-Siberian Oil

Heteroatomic compounds in middle-cut (200-360°C) distillates of West-Siberian oil were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.     

Ozonolysis of 1-Methylcyclohexanol

The kinetic features and composition of products of 1-methylcyclohexanol ozonolysis were studied.     

Relationship between the Performance of Tars and Bitumens from Commercial West-Siberian Crude Oil and Their Structural-Group Composition

The structural-group compositions of polar and nonpolar components of malthenes from tars of West-Siberian crude oil and of quality bitumen BDUS 70/100 and substandard bitumen BDUS 60/90 produced from these tars are compared.     

Modification of Paving Asphalts with an Elastoplastic

BND 60/90 and BND 89/130 paving asphalts were modified by addition of DST-30 elastoplastic and petroleum plasticizers. Their performance at temperatures from -(32-35) to +(90-95)°C was examined in comparison with that of commercial unmodified asphalts, which are efficient at temperatures from -(23-27) to +(44-50)°C.     

Softeners for Rubber and Corrosion-Resistant Coatings Based on Shale and Petroleum Raw Materials

A broad spectrum of softeners for vulcanized rubber and corrosion-resistant materials are obtained by mechanical mixing of kerogen shale (Kerogen-70¹) with commercial products of petroleum refining and shale chemistry such as oil tar, bitumens BND 90/130 and G, softener A-10, residue of atmospheric distillation of crude shale oil boiling above 350°C, and also by thermal treatment of the indicated mixtures at 360-400°C.     

Monitoring of the Sources of Environmental Pollution with Crude Oil

The possibility of preliminary identification of sources of environmental pollution with crude oil was studied by IR Fourier spectroscopy, gamma-ray spectrometry, chromatography-mass spectrometry, and capillary gas-liquid chromatography with oil samples from six fields of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District and samples of soil and ground water contaminated with these oils.     

Thermocatalytic decomposition of 1-methylcyclohexyl hydroperoxide

A mathematical model of a multistage process of thermocatalytic decomposition of 1-methyl-cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in the presence of sodium stearate is developed. A procedure for calculating the unknown rate and equilibrium constants of the elementary and overall reaction stages is described. It is based on an analysis of the kinetic relationships in consumption of the initial products and accumulation of the intermediate and final products of thermocatalytic decomposition, with account of the known constants for individual stages.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Khimii, Vol. 77, No. 12, 2004, pp. 2003–2010.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Syroezhko, Begak.     

Catalytic Oxidation of Cyclohexane with Ozone-Oxygen Mixtures

Selective oxidation of cyclohexane with ozone in the presence of chromium(0) hexacarbonyl and sodium naphthenates-Cr(III) mixtures was studied.
