Gasoline molecular blending technology on?line requires rapid access to detailed molecular composition information of various types of component oils. In this paper, an autoencoder?based method for the rapid resolution of gasoline molecular composition is developed, which can directly predict the detailed monomeric hydrocarbon composition of gasoline from near?infrared spectra. The constructed autoencoder model of gasoline molecular composition can explore the potential features and recover the original molecular composition by decoding the potential features. The artificial neural network algorithm is used to correlate the NIR spectral information with the potential features of gasoline composition. The accuracy of the model is verified by using hydrogenated gasoline with the average absolute error is 0.033. The model developed in this work applies the current popular autoencoder algorithm to the traditional petrochemical process, which is an important guideline for blending online and real?time optimization of gasoline molecules.

In order to explore the microscopic mechanism of wax deposition on the pipe wall of high temperature and high?pressure condensate gas wells, this paper uses molecular dynamics simulation technology by the Materials Studio to build condensate oil system with methane, pentane, nonane,n?dodecane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, benzene and toluene,and the wax component model was built with n?octadecane, and simulate with wax content, asphaltene and scale as variables. The results show that with the increase of wax and asphaltene mass fraction, the wall wax deposition behavior can be intensified, but when the asphalt mass fraction reaches 2.0%,the wall wax deposition behavior can be inhibited.The more kinds of heteroatoms in asphaltene,the more obvious the promotion effect.When there is scale on the pipe wall, sulfate scale has a great influence on wax deposition.The understanding of microscopic mechanism provides a scientific basis for the treatment of wax deposition on the pipe wall.

This paper uses Aspen Plus software to carry out steady?state simulations of a new process for the reactive distillation of hydrogen peroxide isopropylbenzene (CHP) and subsequent refining processes for phenol and acetone. The operating pressure, feed position and number of plates of the reactive distillation column and the refining process were economically optimised with the objective of minimising the total annual cost (C_TAC). The results show that the optimal operating parameters of the process are as follows : the total number of trays of RD was 34, the number of trays in the distillation section was 27, the number of trays in the reaction section was 6, the feed position was 28, and the operating pressure was 3.0×10⁴ Pa. The total plate numbers of acetone refining tower (T101), cumene top tower (T102), tar tower (T103) and phenol refining tower (T104) were 25, 61, 23 and 22, respectively. The feed positions are 16, 45, 9 and 9, respectively. The operating pressures were 5.2×10⁴, 5.0×10³, 5.5×10⁴, 6.0×10³ Pa. The minimum C_TAC of the new process was 2 239.03×10⁴ yuan/year. At the same time, the steady?state simulation and economic optimization of the traditional CHP decomposition and subsequent phenol and acetone refining process were also carried out, and the minimum C_TAC value was 2 608.13×10⁴ yuan/year. By comparing the reactive distillation process with the traditional process, it can be seen that C_TAC can save 14.15% and energy consumption can save 9.01%.

A waterborne polyacrylate colloid with hard core and soft shell structure was synthesized with methyl methacrylate (MMA), styrene (St), butyl acrylate (BA), methacrylic acid (MAA) as monomers, diacetone acrylamide (DAAM) as crosslinking monomer and adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) as crosslinking agent. By adjusting the glass transition temperature (T_g), the emulsion can be self?forming film without adding film forming additive at room temperature. The influence of DAAM?ADH crosslinking system on the properties of latex films was investigated. DSC and TGA analysis showed that the T_g and thermal stability of crosslinked latex films are higher than those of uncrosslinked films. When the mass ratio of DAAM in core?shell is 1∶2, the comprehensive performance of latex films is better than that distributed in core or shell alone. With the increase of DAAM content, the water absorption decreased from 18.99% to 4.38%, and the Gel Fraction increased from 79.30% to 90.84%. When the molar ratio of ADH/DAAM is 1.25, the water absorption reaches the lowest and the Gel Fraction reaches the maximum.

The solidifying point of shale oil is high, and the wax content is high and the emulsification degree of shale oil is high. As a result, it is not easy to dehydrate shale oil emulations by using the traditional thermochemical method, which is difficult to meet the export standard. High frequency pulse dehydration technology is an effective method to dehydrate, but there are few studies on the optimization of treatment parameters of shale oil produced fluid. In this study, the effect of high frequency pulse dehydration technology on Dagang shale oil emulsion was studied, and the treatment parameters were optimized. The results show that high frequency pulse dehydration technology can achieve effective demulsification of shale oil produced liquid and significantly reduce the water content of shale oil. Through the comparison and selection of treatment parameters, it is found that the increase of electric field intensity and electric field frequency is conducive to improve the dehydration efficiency. Besides, there are electric field action time, operation temperature and demulsifier concentration parameters with the best dehydration efficiency. It is proposed that under the electric field strength of 200 kV/m, electric field frequency of 5 kHz, electric field action time of 60 min, operating temperature of 75 ℃, demulsifier mass fraction of 0.010%, the water content of shale oil after dehydration is 0.48%, and the comprehensive benefit is the best. The research results provide technical support for the optimization of shale oil produced fluid treatment parameters.

In different production stages of shale gas fields, various operating conditions and parameters vary widely, and the operating conditions of the triethylene glycol dehydration unit may deviate from the optimal range, which may easily lead to insignificant dehydration effects, which will affect normal production. The HYSYS software was used to simulate the process of a 300.0×10⁴ Nm³/d shale gas triethylene glycol dehydration unit.The influence of the process parameters on the dehydration effect of the triethylene glycol such as the triethylene glycol circulation volume, the mass fraction of the triethylene glycol lean liquid, the flow rate of the feed gas into the tower, and the temperature of the feed gas into the tower,the operating pressure of the absorption tower, the temperature of the lean triethylene glycol liquid entering the tower, the total efficiency of the trays and the number of trays in the absorption tower were quantitatively analyzed.And the reasonable operating range of each process parameter was determined to achieve the best dehydration effect and meet the requirements of dry gas export. The results show that increasing the triethylene glycol circulation, lean liquid mass fraction, absorption tower operating pressure, total tray efficiency and number of absorption trays, as well as reducing the flow and temperature of feed gas into the tower, and the temperature of triethylene glycol lean liquid entering the tower are all helpful to improve the dehydration effect of triethylene glycol; increasing the temperature of the reboiler and the flow of stripping gas are beneficial to increase the mass fraction of the lean triethylene glycol. In addition, the HYSYS simulation calculation results are compared with the on?site production data. The results show that the two are basically consistent, which verifies the accuracy of the simulation calculation results, which can be used to guide actual production. The above research has certain guiding significance for improving dehydration efficiency and reducing investment cost.

With the development of chemical industry, the discharge of industrial wastewater increase gradually, which has caused serious environmental pollution. Therefore, developing an efficient treatment technology to solve this problem is urgently needed. Photocatalysis is an efficient strategy to remove organic pollutants in aqueous condition. TiO2 is one of the most excellent photocatalytic material to be used in pollutant degradating, due to its higher chemical stability, photocatalytic activity and environmental friendliness. However, TiO2 particles are aggregated easily in aqueous media and difficult to be recycled, which hinders its practical applications. Dispersing TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of mineral materials can reduce the aggregation of TiO2, increase the number of surface active sites, and improve its photocatalytic activity. This paper reviews new research progress of mineral supported TiO2 composites in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.
