Title: Preparation of fatty acid esters of glycerol formal and its use as biofuel
Inventor: ESTEVEZ COMPANY CARLES
IPC: C10L1/18
Filed: 2007-07-11
Abstract: This invention describes the preparation of fatty acid esters of glycerol formal either by a triglyceride transesterification process or, alternatively, by an esterification process of fatty acids previously obtained from the hydrolysis of triglycerides (fat splitting), with glycerol formal in the presence of an acid or basic catalyst. Also the invention describes the use of these fatty acid esters of glycerol formal prepared by said process as biofuel. In an embodiment, such biofuel is used in the preparation of other biofuels by its mixture with a product selected from a group formed by: glycerol formal, biodiesel, petrol-derived diesel, and mixtures thereof. The biofuels thus obtained are characterised to allow the complete incorporation of the glycerol obtained in the current biodiesel production process in a biodiesel fuel.

Title: Process for benzene reduction and sulfur removal from fcc naphthas
Inventor: STANLEY JAMES F
IPC: C10G61/00
Filed: 2007-10-16
Abstract: A process for the removal of sulfur compounds and benzene of a catalytically cracked petroleum naphtha comprising benzene, organic sulfur compounds and olefins, by fractionating the cracked naphtha into a relatively low boiling range, olefinic, light catalytic naphtha (LCN) and an olefinic heavy catalytic naphtha (HCN) which boils above the range of the LCN the boiling ranges of the LCN and the HCN being defined by a cut point selected to maintain most of the benzene in the cracked naphtha in the LCN together with olefins in the boiling range of the LCN. The LCN is subjected to an optional non-hydrogenative desulfurization step followed by a fixed bed alkylation step in which the benzene in the LCN is alkylated with the olefins contained in this fraction. The HCN is treated by a similar an alkylation step using the olefins contained in this fraction to alkylate the sulfur compounds, forming alkylated products which boil above the gasoline boiling range. The LCN and HCN are then fractionated to remove light ends and higher boiling sulfur reaction products (disulfides, alkylated thiophenes) boiling above the gasoline boiling range.

Abstract: A process for producing a deinked pulp from waste printed papers including adherent substances. In the process, adherent foreign substances are prevented from undergoing size reduction and a wastewater is reduced in COD. By the process, a deinked pulp reduced in residual ink content is produced. In an ink removal step in producing a deinked pulp from waste printed papers including adherent substances, the anhydride of a crystalline phyllosilicate is added in an amount of preferably 0.1-1.5 mass% based on the pulp on an oven-dry basis to conduct the ink removal treatment at a pH of 7.0-9.9. By the process, a deinked pulp reduced in residual ink can be produced even when the ink removal treatment is conducted under weakly alkaline to neutral conditions, which are generally regarded as effective in diminishing adherent foreign substances but poor in ink removal.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for improving the operational effectiveness and efficiency of wind turbines. Applicants' preferred method comprises: generating a level of power over the Betz limit for an axial flow wind turbine, of the type having a turbine shroud with a flared inlet and an impeller downstream having a ring of impeller blades, by receiving and directing a primary air stream of ambient air into the flared inlet and through the turbine shroud; rotating the impeller inside the shroud by the primary air stream, whereby the primary air stream transfers energy to the impeller; entraining and mixing a secondary flow stream of ambient air exclusively with the primary air stream, which has passed through the impeller, via a mixer and an ejector sequentially downstream of the impeller. Unlike gas turbine mixers and ejectors which also mix with hot core exhaust gases, Applicants' preferred method entrains and mixes ambient air (i.e., wind) exclusively with lower energy air (i.e., partially spent air) which has passed through a turbine shroud and rotor. Applicant's method further comprises harnessing the power of the primary air stream to produce mechanical energy while exceeding the Betz limit for operational efficiency of the axial flow wind turbine over a non-anomalous period.
