Thermo Gravimetric

Heavy fuel oil (furnace oil) was thermally cracked by thermal cracker under different parametric conditions such as cracking temperature, molar ratio of heavy oil to diesel and cracking time to optimize the yield of the final product. In this thermal cracking process, the yield was gradually increased with the increase in temperature and time. After a certain temperature and time no significant increase in yield was observed. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) was done to observe the percentage of weight loss with increasing temperature. The obtained cracked oil was fractionated by atmospheric vacuum distillation unit. Products obtained from different experiments under different conditions showed almost similar physico-chemical properties. Optimization was done on the basis of yield (%wt). The optimum yield (56.2%) of light petroleum fraction (gasoline) was obtained under the following experimental conditions: cracking temperature: 445°C; molar ratio of furnace oil to diesel 95:05; and cracking time: 30 min. The properties such as density, water content, ash content, pour point, flash point, viscosity, range of boiling point, sulphur content, carbon residue, octane number etc. of the obtained light petroleum fraction were found almost similar to that of the commercial grade gasoline. Key words: Furnace oil; Thermal cracking; Gasoline; Thermo gravimetric analysis. DOI: 10.3329/bjsir.v44i4.4601 Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 44(4), 473-478, 2009

AbstractThe vanadium content of the lichen Hypogymnia physodes was determined in the vicinity of a power plant using heavy oil as fuel. For the chemical analysis a DC plasma emission spectrometer was used. Air dried samplesof the lichen contained between 1–4 and 57 parts per million (ppm) of vanadium. The highest concentrations were found in specimens collected less than 1 km from the power plant. Lichens collected 50 km from the plant contained less than 2 ppm of vanadium.

Isotropic Carbon

An inexpensive and general-purpose carbon fiber was prepared using coal tar pitch. In contrast to the solvent extraction process employing expensive solvents, a low-cost centrifugal separation method facilitated the reduction of loss due to the pitch purification and an overall yield increase. The coal tar pitch purified by centrifugation and subsequently co-carbonized with pyrolysis fuel oil improved in spinnability. Moreover, the resulting spinnable pitch had a softening point of 250 °C. The obtained carbon fibers were heat-treated at 1000 °C for 5 min, resulting in a tensile strength of approximately 1000 MPa and an average diameter of 9 μm. In this study, we present an effective method for obtaining low-cost general-purpose isotropic carbon fibers.

Input Output Analysis

Bio-energy is a research field that is of worldwide interest. South Korea, which imports all of its heavy fuel oil for consumption, passed a new law allowing bio-heavy oil made from animal fat, by-product of biodiesel processes, palm oil, and other leftover oil to be used to generate electricity in place of heavy fuel oil. As there is lack of policy research with respect to liquid biofuels, the purpose of this study is to define the bio-heavy oil industry in South Korea and to investigate the economic effects of bio-heavy oil. An input–output analysis model was used and demonstrated that the production-, value-added-, import-, and employment-induced effects of the bio-heavy oil industry were larger than those induced by the heavy fuel oil industry. As the import of fuel by the heavy fuel oil industry was greater than the bio-heavy oil industry, the import substitution effect of the bio-heavy oil industry was found to be greater. This resulted in a positive value for the net-induced effect of the bio-heavy oil industry. When considering the global concern with respect to the development and expansion of biofuel feedstock, this study shows the possibility of transforming heavy fuel oil plants distributed around the world into renewable energy sources.

1. For the preservation of ropes the importance of the preservative against bacterial decay being also an internal lubricant for the rope fibres must be remembered.2. Tests have been carried out for one year in sea-water, which was much contaminated by sewage at times, under Plymouth Pier and in cleaner water of a tidal basin outside Plymouth Sound Breakwater for 10½ months, using 2-inch and 0-6-inch ropes respectively; the latter was manila, the former were manila, hemp, sisal and coir.3. The preservatives included cutch, cutch bichromate, cutch ammonia copper sulphate, coal tar distillates, including those of the Coalite process, also hardwood and softwood tars. The tars and tar oils were tried alone and mixed with copper soaps, naphthenate (Cuprinol and Shell products), oleate and resinate, also zinc and iron naphthenates (Cuprinol). The naphthenates and oleate are good lubricants.4. Very good results were obtained with green Cuprinol containing tar and with 10 per cent copper oleate in a light coal tar; slightly inferior were 10 per cent copper resinate in Coalite heavy oil or in creosote oil as now used largely in Plymouth; also 10 per cent copper oleate with 20 per cent of Coalite tar in Coalite neutral oil, b.p. 100–245° C, which i s a very cheap solvent. All these maintained the thin manila rope at or above 70 per cent of its initial strength after 10½ months; the untreated control was down to 13 per cent.

The vegetation cover of two sites contaminated with heavy fractions oil products:Klaipeda State Oil Terminal (KSOT) of 130,000 sq. m area, and Pauoscio RailwayStation (PRS) of 60,000 sq. m area-has been investigated.It has been established, that phytotoxical effect begins with heavy oil concentrationsreaching I 000 g/m2 or 5 000 mg per l kg of dry soil. Such heavy oil containsp-edominantly tar (by 55 percent) and light hydrocarbons (below C28) composed of thefollowing factions (in percentage): paraffin-naphtene hydrocarbons - 15, olefins andcyclodiolefines -5, alkilaromatic - l, alkidiaromatic -4, polyaromatic -20.Also, plant species and communities have been identified. The KSOT site has been foundto nurture 271 species of vascular plants. The most part of this flora consists of referralplants aD'.I those specific for littoral sands. The most polluted area has been found tonurture 38 plant species.The most resistant to the fuel oil pollution are plants having long rootstocks and longtaproots: Calamagrostis epigejos, Carex hirta, Elytrigia repens, Leymus arenarius, Poacompressa, Artemisia campestris, Cirsium arvense, Convolvulus arvensis, Tanacetumvalgare, Tussilago farfara. Some of them can be used in ex-situ remediation of the oilpolluted soil at biodegradation ranges. They can also be used as model plants inexperimental selection of cultivated plants for bioremediation purposes.
