IPC: B01D47/02
Filed: 2008-10-22
Abstract: A method for removing elemental sulfur from a hot gas stream, such as an autoclave vent gas, while simultaneously cooling the gas stream. The method results in conversion of sulfur in the hot gas stream to the form of solid, non-sticky sulfur allotropes such as rhombic sulfur while avoiding formation of sticky sulfur allotropes such as monoclinic sulfur, thereby avoiding scaling and fouling of plant equipment. According the method, the hot gas stream is contacted with an aqueous medium containing a particulate material inside a quench vessel having a first inlet for the hot gas stream, a second inlet for the aqueous medium, and an outlet for removing a sulfur-containing liquid fraction from the vessel. At least a portion of the sulfur contained in the hot gas stream, along with other condensable materials, becomes incorporated into the aqueous medium and is subsequently drained from the vessel. The aqueous medium may comprise a slurry of tailings or other waste material, and the particulate matter contained in the aqueous medium may provide nucleation sites for the preferential formation of non-sticky solid forms of sulfur.

Abstract: A process for upgrading bitumen recovered from an oil reservoir without hydrogen production is par-ticularly useful in field upgrading applications. In this pro-cess, recovered bitumen enters a fractionator and is con-tacted with heated gases from a fluidized bed reactor. The bitumen and heated gases are fractionated into segregated products including at least a liquid pitch, unstable frac-tions, and an upgraded liquid product. The liquid pitch is introduced into the reactor to produce a vapor phase liquid product; the reactor comprises solid particles moving through the reactor and a fluidizing gas fluidizing the solid particles at a conversion temperature which is suitable for facilitating the conversion of at least some of the liquid pitch into the vapor phase liquid product. The heated gases comprising the vapor phase liquid product and fluidizing gas are directed from the reactor to the fractionator to con-tact the bitumen stream. In this process, enough of the seg-regated unstable fractions are burned that the liquid prod-uct and any remaining unstable fractions meets pipeline specifications without hydrogen treatment of any of the re-maining unstable fractions.

IPC: H05H3/02
Filed: 2010-03-03
Abstract: A method for producing hyperthermal molecular hydrogen and use of same for selectively breaking C-H or Si-H bonds without breaking other bonds. A  hydrogen plasma is maintained and protons are extracted with an electric field to accelerate them to an appropriate kinetic energy. The protons enter into a drift zone to collide with molecular hydrogen in gas phase. The cascades of collisions produce a high flux of hyperthermal molecular hydrogen with a flux many times larger than the flux of protons extracted from the hydrogen plasma. When this method of generating a high flux of hyperthermal molecular hydrogen is applied to bombard organic precursor molecules (or silicone, or silane molecules) with desirable chemical functionality/functionalities on a substrate, the C-H or Si-H bonds are thus cleaved preferentially due to the kinematic selectivity of energy deposition from the hyperthermal hydrogen projectiles to the hydrogen atoms in the precursor molecules.
