11093 results about "Alkane" patented technology

In organic chemistry, an alkane, or paraffin (a historical name that also has other meanings), is an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon. In other words, an alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbon–carbon bonds are single. Alkanes have the general chemical formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂. The alkanes range in complexity from the simplest case of methane (CH₄), where n = 1 (sometimes called the parent molecule), to arbitrarily large and complex molecules, like pentacontane (C₅₀H₁₀₂) or 6-ethyl-2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl) octane, an isomer of tetradecane (C₁₄H₃₀).

Premium synthetic lubricant base stock having at least 95% non-cyclic isoparaffins

A premium synthetic lubricating oil base stock having a high VI and low pour point is made by hydroisomerizing a Fischer-Tropsch synthesized waxy, paraffinic feed wax and then dewaxing the hydroisomerate to form a 650-750 DEG F.+ dewaxate. The waxy feed has an initial boiling point in the range of about 650-750 DEG F., from which it continuously boils up to at least 1050 DEG F. and has a T90-T10 temperature difference of at least 350 DEG F. The feed is preferably hydroisomerized without any pretreatment, other than optional fractionation. The 650-750 DEG F.+ dewaxate is fractionated into two or more base stocks of different viscosity.
