Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé membranaire permettant de retirer des espèces de soufre d'une alimentation en naphtha, en particulier, un naphtha léger soumis à un craquage catalytique fluide, sans perte sensible au niveau du rendement d'oléfines. Ce procédé consiste à mettre en contact un flux d'alimentation en naphtha et une membrane présentant un flux suffisant pour séparer, de manière sélective, une fraction de rétentat à faible teneur en soufre d'une fraction de perméat à forte teneur en soufre, de préférence, dans des conditions de pervaporation. Des fractions de rétentat à faible teneur en soufre sont utiles directement au niveau du pool-essence. Des fractions de perméat à forte teneur en soufre sont riches en soufre contenant des hydrocarbures aromatiques et non aromatiques, et sont également traitées à l'aide de technologies classiques de retrait de soufre, par exemple, l'hydrotraitement, pour réduire la teneur en soufre. Le procédé de l'invention permet d'obtenir des produits de naphtha de haute qualité présentant une teneur réduite en soufre et une forte teneur en composés d'oléfines.

Abstract: A novel group of gastrokines called Gastric Antrum Mucosal Protein is characterized. A member of the group is designated AMP-18. AMP-18 genomic DNA, cDNA and the AMP-18 protein are sequenced for human, mouse and pig. The AMP-18 protein and active peptides derived from it are cellular growth factors. Surprisingly, peptides capable of inhibiting the effects of the complete protein, are also derived from the AMP-18 protein. Cytoprotection and control of mammalian gastro-intestinal tissue growth and repair (restitution) is facilitated by the use of the proteins, making the protein candidates for therapies in inflammatory bowel disease and gastric ulcers.
