CH4, C2H6 and C2H4 are the most important outlet gaseous of oxidative couple methane (OCM) reaction and this process is a new technology for conversion of natural gas to ethane and ethylene products. In this study, adsorption of OCM outlet hydrocarbons over 10X zeolite has been examined at equilibrium conditions. Temperature and pressure are the most effective operational parameters in the batc...

Ethane production by homogenates of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Harvester was studied. The precursor of ethane was identified as linolenic acid. The liberation of ethane was optimum at pH 4.2 and was highest from homogenates of leaves and apical buds. When roots were homogenized in linolenic acid solution, ethane and ethylene production were stimulated. In corn root homogenates, ethylene biosynth...

To determine the effect of nutritional agents on lipid peroxidation, 10 smokers were given 6 mg beta carotene, 200 IU vitamin E, and 250 mg vitamin C 4 times daily for 3 weeks. Lipid peroxidation was assessed by measuring baseline and postsupplementation levels of exhaled ethane. There was a 29% decrease in mean (+/-SD) exhaled ethane (4.06 +/- 1.49 vs 2.90 +/- 1.29 pmol.kg-1.min-1), with indiv...

Influence of the presence of CO2, which is a mild oxidant, on the performance of the thermal cracking of ethane to ethylene in the absence or presence of limited O2 at different temperatures (750– 900°C), space velocities (1500–9000 h) and CO2/C2H6 and O2/C2H6 mole ratios (0–2⋅0 and 0–0⋅3 respectively) has been investigated. In both the presence and absence of limited O2, ethane conversion incr...

Separation of ethylene from ethane in commercial processes is expensive both in capital and operating costs. This study has evaluated the feasibility of using facilitated transport membrane technology for improving the separation process. Simulation and optimization of various distillation/membrane hybrid configurations as well as stand-alone membrane cascade systems have been examined under di...

Breath ethane, O2 consumption, and CO2 production were analyzed in 24-mo-old female Fischer 344 rats that had been fed continuously ad libitum (AL) or restricted 30% of AL level (DR) diets since 6 wk of age. Rats were placed in a glass chamber that was first flushed with air, then with a gas mixture containing 12% O2. After equilibration, a sample of the outflow was collected in gas sampling ba...

A supercritical ethane working fluid Brayton power conversion system is evaluated as an alternative to carbon dioxide. The HSC® chemical kinetics code was used to study thermal dissociation and chemical interactions for ethane and other coolants under a variety of conditions. The NIST database was used for reaction rates. Overall results were not conclusive. The supercritical behavior of ethane...

  Abstract: In this work, the kinetics of ethane hydrate formation has been studied experimentally and a kinetic model based on chemical affinity has been described for predicting the hydrate growth process in the stirred batch reactor at a constant volume. The experiments were done with both pure water and aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The effect of SDS on formation kineti...
