(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Alkylation of isobutane with butene is an important industrial process for producing high-octane gasoline. Current industrial alkylations use either H2SO4 or HF as a catalyst. Compared to the liquid catalyst, the use of a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This study was designed to examine the uptake and depuration of trace organic contaminants, e.g. poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), including planar congeners, and butyltin species, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)The recent demands on the avialable energy have stimulated the search for alternatives to oil. Methanol, because of its abundance and the availability of technology to produce it from coal, is projected as an alternative ...
-
(2021-12-02)The study examines the performance of zeotropic mixtures consisting of different hydrocarbons with carbon dioxide as working fluids for a supercritical organic Rankine cycle. Four hydrocarbons, i.e., dimethyl ether, R1234yf, ...
-
(2022-08-08)The estimation of Pressure-Volume-Temperature (or PVT) properties is an extremely important aspect of oil and gas exploration and production as the parameters derived from these functions are used for reserve estimations, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)The formation of gas phase radicals during the partial oxidation of propylene, 1-butene, isobutylene, and methane over several metal oxides was investigated. The radicals were isolated by employing a matrix isolation unit ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)A total of 6,924 individual mysids (Mysidopsis almyra) were divided among 249 combinations of temperature (20, 25 and 30(DEGREES)C), salinity (10, 20 and 30 ppt), South Louisiana crude oil water soluble fraction (WSF) ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The role of the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor in mediating the immunosuppressive effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) and related halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (HAHs) on the murine splenic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1961)Performance prediction calculations for petroleum reservoirs existing at high temperatures and pressures require the use of a compositional material balance. The compositional balance in turn requires a method of calculating ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The effects of water soluble fractions (WSFs) from No. 2 Fuel Oil on growth and reproduction in a laboratory strain of Neanthes arenaceodentata (Moore, 1903) were studied in experiments simulating conditions of acute and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Embryos and juveniles of the horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus were exposed continuously to 0, 5, 10, 25 and 50% Water-Soluble Fractions (WSF) of no. 2 fuel oil at temperatures of 20°, 25° or 30° C and one salinity, 32 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Concentrations of the C₁-C₃ hydrocarbons and stable carbon isotope compositions of methane in recent sediments and seep gases of the Texas-Louisiana shelf-slop region were determined. These gases have been produced by both ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The Gif-family is a group of Fe- or Cu-containing chemical systems oxidizing saturated hydrocarbons to ketones. The unusual behavior shown by these systems (secondary C-H bonds are oxidized preferentially even in the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)The selective oxidation of olefins including oxidative dehydrogenation and epoxidation reactions over transition metal-exchanged zeolite. Y at mild reaction conditions was investigated. This dissertation describes the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)This dissertation intends to provide new and efficient tools to improve fluid phase equilibria predictions using equations of state (EOS) and various mixture combining rules (MCR). We developed, and successfully tested, a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)A detailed NMR study has been made into the preparation, structure and characterization of a series of 1,7,7-trimethyl-2,3-benzobicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-enes. This family of compounds was derived from the parent structure, A, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)The ultrastructure of resting state colonies of Botryococcus braunii Kutzing from two localities is compared to active state colonies maintained in the laboratory. Qualitative hydrocarbon analyses confirmed the physiological ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Concentrations of volatile liquid hydrocarbons (VLH), C ₆- C ₁₄ hydrocarbons, were determined in coastal, shelf and open ocean surface waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Open ocean, non-petroleum polluted surface water VLH ...
