Natural sources of hydrocarbons: gas, oil, coke. Their use as fuel and in chemical synthesis. Natural sources of hydrocarbons: general characteristics and use A natural source of gasoline is

The main natural sources of hydrocarbons are oil, gas, coal. Most of the substances of organic chemistry are isolated from them. More about this class of organic substances are discussed below.

Composition of minerals

Hydrocarbons are the most extensive class of organic substances. These include acyclic (linear) and cyclic classes of compounds. Allocate saturated (limit) and unsaturated (unsaturated) hydrocarbons.

The saturated hydrocarbons include compounds with single bonds:

• alkanes- line connections;
• cycloalkanes- cyclic substances.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons include substances with multiple bonds:

• alkenes- contain one double bond;
• alkynes- contain one triple bond;
• alkadienes- includes two double bonds.

Separately, a class of arenes or aromatic hydrocarbons containing a benzene ring is distinguished.

Rice. 1. Classification of hydrocarbons.

Gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons are isolated from minerals. The table describes the natural sources of hydrocarbons in more detail.

More than 600 billion m 3 of gas, 500 million tons of oil, and 300 million tons of coal are produced annually in Russia.

Recycling

Minerals are used in a processed form. Hard coal is calcined without access to oxygen (coking process) in order to isolate several fractions:

• coke oven gas- a mixture of methane, carbon oxides (II) and (IV), ammonia, nitrogen;
• coal tar- a mixture of benzene, its homologues, phenol, arenes, heterocyclic compounds;
• ammonia water- a mixture of ammonia, phenol, hydrogen sulfide;
• coke- the end product of coking containing pure carbon.

Rice. 2. Coking.

One of the leading branches of the world industry is oil refining. Oil extracted from the bowels of the earth is called crude. It is being processed. First, mechanical purification from impurities is carried out, then the purified oil is distilled to obtain various fractions. The table describes the main oil fractions.

Rice. 3. Oil distillation.

Hydrocarbons are used to produce plastics, fibers, medicines. Methane and propane are used as domestic fuels. Coke is used in the production of iron and steel. Nitric acid, ammonia, fertilizers are produced from ammonia water. Tar is used in construction.

What have we learned?

From the topic of the lesson, we learned from which natural sources hydrocarbons are isolated. Oil, coal, natural and associated gases are used as raw materials for organic compounds. Minerals are purified and divided into fractions, from which substances suitable for production or direct use are obtained. Liquid fuels and oils are produced from oil. Gases contain methane, propane, butane used as domestic fuel. From coal, liquid and solid raw materials are isolated for the production of alloys, fertilizers, and medicines.

The first theories, which considered the principles that determine the occurrence of oil deposits, were usually limited mainly to the question of where it accumulates. However, over the past 20 years it has become clear that in order to answer this question, it is necessary to understand why, when and in what quantities oil was formed in a particular basin, as well as to understand and establish the processes as a result of which it originated, migrated and accumulated. This information is essential to improve the efficiency of oil exploration.

The formation of hydrocarbon resources, according to modern views, occurred as a result of a complex sequence of geochemical processes (see Fig. 1) inside the original gas and oil rocks. In these processes, the components of various biological systems (substances of natural origin) were converted into hydrocarbons and, to a lesser extent, into polar compounds with different thermodynamic stability - as a result of the precipitation of substances of natural origin and their subsequent overlap by sedimentary rocks, under the influence of elevated temperature and increased pressure in the surface layers of the earth's crust. The primary migration of liquid and gaseous products from the original gas-oil layer and their subsequent secondary migration (through bearing horizons, shifts, etc.) into porous oil-saturated rocks leads to the formation of deposits of hydrocarbon materials, the further migration of which is prevented by locking deposits between non-porous rock layers .

In extracts of organic matter from sedimentary rocks of biogenic origin, compounds with the same chemical structure as compounds extracted from oil have. For geochemistry, some of these compounds are of particular importance and are considered "biological markers" ("chemical fossils"). Such hydrocarbons have much in common with the compounds found in biological systems (eg, lipids, pigments, and metabolites) from which oil is derived. These compounds not only demonstrate the biogenic origin of natural hydrocarbons, but also provide very important information about gas and oil-bearing rocks, as well as the nature of maturation and origin, migration and biodegradation that led to the formation of specific gas and oil deposits.

Figure 1 Geochemical processes leading to the formation of fossil hydrocarbons.

A gas-oil rock is considered to be a finely dispersed sedimentary rock that, during natural settling, has led or could have led to the formation and release of significant amounts of oil and (or) gas. The classification of such rocks is based on the content and type of organic matter, the state of its metamorphic evolution (chemical transformations occurring at temperatures of approximately 50-180 ° C), as well as the nature and amount of hydrocarbons that can be obtained from it. Organic matter kerogen in sedimentary rocks of biogenic origin can be found in a wide variety of forms, but it can be divided into four main types.

1) Liptinites– have a very high hydrogen content, but a low oxygen content; their composition is due to the presence of aliphatic carbon chains. It is assumed that liptinites were formed mainly from algae (usually subjected to bacterial decomposition). They have a high ability to turn into oil.

2) Extits- have a high hydrogen content (however, lower than that of liptinites), rich in aliphatic chains and saturated naphthenes (alicyclic hydrocarbons), as well as aromatic rings and oxygen-containing functional groups. This organic matter is formed from plant materials such as spores, pollen, cuticles, and other structural parts of plants. Exinites have a good ability to turn into oil and gas condensate, and at higher stages of metamorphic evolution into gas.

3) Vitrshity- have a low hydrogen content, a high oxygen content and consist mainly of aromatic structures with short aliphatic chains linked by oxygen-containing functional groups. They are formed from structured woody (lignocellulosic) materials and have limited ability to turn into oil, but good ability to turn into gas.

4) Inertinitis are black, opaque clastic rocks (high in carbon and low in hydrogen) that formed from highly altered woody precursors. They do not have the ability to turn into oil and gas.

The main factors by which gas-oil rock is recognized are its content of kerogen, the type of organic matter in kerogen, and the stage of metamorphic evolution of this organic matter. Good oil and gas rocks are those that contain 2-4% organic matter of the type from which the corresponding hydrocarbons can be formed and released. Under favorable geochemical conditions, the formation of oil can occur from sedimentary rocks containing organic matter such as liptinite and exinite. The formation of gas deposits usually occurs in rocks rich in vitrinite or as a result of thermal cracking of the originally formed oil.

As a result of the subsequent burial of sediments of organic matter under the upper layers of sedimentary rocks, this substance is exposed to increasingly higher temperatures, which leads to thermal decomposition of kerogen and the formation of oil and gas. The formation of oil in quantities of interest for the industrial development of the field occurs under certain conditions in time and temperature (depth of occurrence), and the time of formation is the longer, the lower the temperature (this is easy to understand if we assume that the reaction proceeds according to the first order equation and has an Arrhenius dependence on temperature). For example, the same amount of oil that was formed at 100°C in about 20 million years should be formed at 90°C in 40 million years, and at 80°C in 80 million years. The rate of formation of hydrocarbons from kerogen approximately doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature. However, the chemical composition of kerogen. can be extremely diverse, and therefore the indicated relationship between the maturation time of oil and the temperature of this process can only be considered as the basis for approximate estimates.

Modern geochemical studies show that in the North Sea continental shelf, every 100 m increase in depth is accompanied by an increase in temperature of approximately 3°C, which means that sedimentary rocks rich in organic matter formed liquid hydrocarbons at a depth of 2500-4000 m for 50-80 million years. Light oils and condensates appear to have formed at depths of 4000-5000 m, and methane (dry gas) at depths greater than 5000 m.

Natural sources of hydrocarbons are fossil fuels - oil and gas, coal and peat. Crude oil and gas deposits originated 100-200 million years ago from microscopic marine plants and animals that became embedded in sedimentary rocks that formed on the sea floor, in contrast, coal and peat began to form 340 million years ago from plants growing on land .

Natural gas and crude oil are usually found along with water in oil-bearing layers located between rock layers (Fig. 2). The term "natural gas" is also applicable to gases that are formed in natural conditions as a result of the decomposition of coal. Natural gas and crude oil are being developed on every continent except Antarctica. The largest producers of natural gas in the world are Russia, Algeria, Iran and the United States. The largest producers of crude oil are Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iran.

Natural gas consists mainly of methane (Table 1).

Crude oil is an oily liquid that can vary in color from dark brown or green to almost colorless. It contains a large number of alkanes. Among them are unbranched alkanes, branched alkanes and cycloalkanes with the number of carbon atoms from five to 40. The industrial name of these cycloalkanes is well known. Crude oil also contains approximately 10% aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as small amounts of other compounds containing sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen.

Dry distillation of coal.

Aromatic hydrocarbons are obtained mainly from the dry distillation of coal. When coal is heated in retorts or coking ovens without air at 1000–1300 °C, the organic matter of coal decomposes to form solid, liquid, and gaseous products.

The solid product of dry distillation - coke - is a porous mass consisting of carbon with an admixture of ash. Coke is produced in huge quantities and consumed mainly by the metallurgical industry as a reducing agent in the production of metals (primarily iron) from ores.

The liquid products of dry distillation are black viscous tar (coal tar), and the aqueous layer containing ammonia is ammonia water. Coal tar is obtained on average 3% of the mass of the original coal. Ammonia water is one of the important sources of ammonia production. Gaseous products of dry distillation of coal are called coke gas. Coke oven gas has a different composition depending on the grade of coal, coking mode, etc. Coke gas produced in coke oven batteries is passed through a series of absorbers that trap tar, ammonia and light oil vapors. Light oil obtained by condensation from coke oven gas contains 60% benzene, toluene and other hydrocarbons. Most of the benzene (up to 90%) is obtained in this way and only a little - by fractionation of coal tar.

Processing of coal tar. Coal tar has the appearance of a black resinous mass with a characteristic odor. Currently, more than 120 different products have been isolated from coal tar. Among them are aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as aromatic oxygen-containing substances of an acidic nature (phenols), nitrogen-containing substances of a basic nature (pyridine, quinoline), substances containing sulfur (thiophene), etc.

Coal tar is subjected to fractional distillation, as a result of which several fractions are obtained.

Light oil contains benzene, toluene, xylenes and some other hydrocarbons.

Medium, or carbolic, oil contains a number of phenols.

Heavy, or creosote, oil: Of the hydrocarbons in heavy oil, naphthalene is contained.

Production of hydrocarbons from oil

Oil is one of the main sources of aromatic hydrocarbons. Most oils contain only very small amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons. From domestic oil rich in aromatic hydrocarbons is the oil of the Ural (Perm) field. The oil of the "Second Baku" contains up to 60% aromatic hydrocarbons.

Due to the scarcity of aromatic hydrocarbons, “oil flavoring” is now used: oil products are heated at a temperature of about 700 ° C, as a result of which 15–18% of aromatic hydrocarbons can be obtained from the decomposition products of oil.

Before the Great Patriotic War, industrial stocks natural gas were known in the Carpathian region, in the Caucasus, in the Volga region and in the North (Komi ASSR). The study of natural gas reserves was associated only with oil exploration. Industrial reserves of natural gas in 1940 amounted to 15 billion m 3 . Then gas fields were discovered in the North Caucasus, Transcaucasia, Ukraine, the Volga region, Central Asia, Western Siberia and the Far East. On the
On January 1, 1976, explored reserves of natural gas amounted to 25.8 trillion m 3, of which 4.2 trillion m 3 (16.3%) in the European part of the USSR, 21.6 trillion m 3 (83.7 %), including
18.2 trillion m 3 (70.5%) - in Siberia and the Far East, 3.4 trillion m 3 (13.2%) - in Central Asia and Kazakhstan. As of January 1, 1980, potential reserves of natural gas amounted to 80–85 trillion m 3 , explored - 34.3 trillion m 3 . Moreover, the reserves increased mainly due to the discovery of deposits in the eastern part of the country - explored reserves there were at a level of about
30.1 trillion m 3, which was 87.8% of the all-Union.
Today, Russia has 35% of the world's natural gas reserves, which is more than 48 trillion m 3 . The main areas of occurrence of natural gas in Russia and the CIS countries (fields):

West Siberian oil and gas province:
Urengoyskoye, Yamburgskoye, Zapolyarnoye, Medvezhye, Nadymskoye, Tazovskoye – Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug;
Pokhromskoye, Igrimskoye - Berezovskaya gas-bearing region;
Meldzhinskoye, Luginetskoye, Ust-Silginskoye - Vasyugan gas-bearing region.
Volga-Ural oil and gas province:
the most significant is Vuktylskoye, in the Timan-Pechora oil and gas region.
Central Asia and Kazakhstan:
the most significant in Central Asia is Gazli, in the Ferghana Valley;
Kyzylkum, Bairam-Ali, Darvaza, Achak, Shatlyk.
North Caucasus and Transcaucasia:
Karadag, Duvanny - Azerbaijan;
Dagestan Lights - Dagestan;
Severo-Stavropolskoye, Pelagiadinskoye - Stavropol Territory;
Leningradskoye, Maykopskoye, Staro-Minskoye, Berezanskoye - Krasnodar Territory.

Also, natural gas deposits are known in Ukraine, Sakhalin and the Far East.
In terms of natural gas reserves, Western Siberia stands out (Urengoyskoye, Yamburgskoye, Zapolyarnoye, Medvezhye). Industrial reserves here reach 14 trillion m 3 . The Yamal gas condensate fields (Bovanenkovskoye, Kruzenshternskoye, Kharasaveyskoye, etc.) are now acquiring particular importance. On their basis, the Yamal-Europe project is being implemented.
Natural gas production is highly concentrated and focused on areas with the largest and most profitable deposits. Only five deposits - Urengoyskoye, Yamburgskoye, Zapolyarnoye, Medvezhye and Orenburgskoye - contain 1/2 of all industrial reserves of Russia. The reserves of Medvezhye are estimated at 1.5 trillion m 3 , and those of Urengoy – at 5 trillion m 3 .
The next feature is the dynamic location of natural gas production sites, which is explained by the rapid expansion of the boundaries of the identified resources, as well as the relative ease and cheapness of their involvement in development. In a short time, the main centers for the extraction of natural gas moved from the Volga region to Ukraine, the North Caucasus. Further territorial shifts were caused by the development of deposits in Western Siberia, Central Asia, the Urals and the North.

After the collapse of the USSR in Russia, there was a drop in the volume of natural gas production. The decline was observed mainly in the Northern economic region (8 billion m 3 in 1990 and 4 billion m 3 in 1994), in the Urals (43 billion m 3 and 35 billion m and
555 billion m 3) and in the North Caucasus (6 and 4 billion m 3). Natural gas production remained at the same level in the Volga region (6 bcm) and in the Far East economic regions.
At the end of 1994, there was an upward trend in production levels.
Of the republics of the former USSR, the Russian Federation provides the most gas, in second place is Turkmenistan (more than 1/10), followed by Uzbekistan and Ukraine.
Of particular importance is the extraction of natural gas on the shelf of the World Ocean. In 1987, offshore fields produced 12.2 billion m 3 , or about 2% of the gas produced in the country. Associated gas production in the same year amounted to 41.9 bcm. For many areas, one of the reserves of gaseous fuel is the gasification of coal and shale. Underground gasification of coal is carried out in the Donbass (Lysichansk), Kuzbass (Kiselevsk) and the Moscow Basin (Tula).
Natural gas has been and remains an important export product in Russian foreign trade.
The main natural gas processing centers are located in the Urals (Orenburg, Shkapovo, Almetyevsk), in Western Siberia (Nizhnevartovsk, Surgut), in the Volga region (Saratov), ​​in the North Caucasus (Grozny) and in other gas-bearing provinces. It can be noted that gas processing plants tend to sources of raw materials - deposits and large gas pipelines.
The most important use of natural gas is as a fuel. Recently, there has been a trend towards an increase in the share of natural gas in the country's fuel balance.

The most valued natural gas with a high content of methane is Stavropol (97.8% CH 4), Saratov (93.4%), Urengoy (95.16%).
Natural gas reserves on our planet are very large (approximately 1015 m 3). More than 200 deposits are known in Russia, they are located in Western Siberia, in the Volga-Ural basin, in the North Caucasus. Russia holds the first place in the world in terms of natural gas reserves.
Natural gas is the most valuable type of fuel. When gas is burned, a lot of heat is released, so it serves as an energy-efficient and cheap fuel in boiler plants, blast furnaces, open-hearth furnaces and glass melting furnaces. The use of natural gas in production makes it possible to significantly increase labor productivity.
Natural gas is a source of raw materials for the chemical industry: the production of acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen, soot, various plastics, acetic acid, dyes, medicines and other products.

Associated petroleum gas- this is a gas that exists together with oil, it is dissolved in oil and is located above it, forming a "gas cap", under pressure. At the exit from the well, the pressure drops, and the associated gas is separated from the oil. This gas was not used in the past, but was simply burned. It is currently being captured and used as a fuel and valuable chemical feedstock. The possibilities of using associated gases are even wider than those of natural gas. their composition is richer. Associated gases contain less methane than natural gas, but they contain significantly more methane homologues. In order to use associated gas more rationally, it is divided into mixtures of a narrower composition. After separation, gas gasoline, propane and butane, dry gas are obtained. Individual hydrocarbons are also extracted - ethane, propane, butane and others. By dehydrogenating them, unsaturated hydrocarbons are obtained - ethylene, propylene, butylene, etc.

Oil and oil products, their application

Oil is an oily liquid with a pungent odor. It is found in many places on the globe, impregnating porous rocks at various depths.
According to most scientists, oil is the geochemically altered remains of plants and animals that once inhabited the globe. This theory of the organic origin of oil is supported by the fact that oil contains some nitrogenous substances - the breakdown products of substances present in plant tissues. There are also theories about the inorganic origin of oil: its formation as a result of the action of water in the strata of the globe on hot metal carbides (compounds of metals with carbon), followed by a change in the resulting hydrocarbons under the influence of high temperature, high pressure, exposure to metals, air, hydrogen, etc.
When oil is extracted from oil-bearing strata, which sometimes lie in the earth's crust at a depth of several kilometers, oil either comes to the surface under the pressure of gases located on it, or is pumped out by pumps.

The oil industry today is a large national economic complex that lives and develops according to its own laws. What does oil mean today for the national economy of the country? Oil is a raw material for petrochemistry in the production of synthetic rubber, alcohols, polyethylene, polypropylene, a wide range of various plastics and finished products from them, artificial fabrics; a source for the production of motor fuels (gasoline, kerosene, diesel and jet fuels), oils and lubricants, as well as boiler and furnace fuel (fuel oil), building materials (bitumen, tar, asphalt); raw material for obtaining a number of protein preparations used as additives in livestock feed to stimulate its growth.
Oil is our national wealth, the source of the country's power, the foundation of its economy. The oil complex of Russia includes 148 thousand oil wells, 48.3 thousand km of main oil pipelines, 28 oil refineries with a total capacity of more than 300 million tons of oil per year, as well as a large number of other production facilities.
About 900 thousand people are employed at the enterprises of the oil industry and its service industries, including about 20 thousand people in the field of science and scientific services.
Over the past decades, fundamental changes have taken place in the structure of the fuel industry associated with a decrease in the share of the coal industry and the growth of oil and gas extraction and processing industries. If in 1940 they amounted to 20.5%, then in 1984 - 75.3% of the total production of mineral fuel. Now natural gas and open pit coal are coming to the fore. The consumption of oil for energy purposes will be reduced, on the contrary, its use as a chemical raw material will expand. Currently, in the structure of the fuel and energy balance, oil and gas account for 74%, while the share of oil is declining, while the share of gas is growing and is approximately 41%. The share of coal is 20%, the remaining 6% is electricity.
Oil refining was first started by the Dubinin brothers in the Caucasus. Primary oil refining consists in its distillation. Distillation is carried out at refineries after the separation of petroleum gases.

A variety of products of great practical importance are isolated from oil. First, dissolved gaseous hydrocarbons (mainly methane) are removed from it. After distillation of volatile hydrocarbons, the oil is heated. Hydrocarbons with a small number of carbon atoms in the molecule, which have a relatively low boiling point, are the first to go into a vapor state and are distilled off. As the temperature of the mixture rises, hydrocarbons with a higher boiling point are distilled. In this way, individual mixtures (fractions) of oil can be collected. Most often, with this distillation, four volatile fractions are obtained, which are then subjected to further separation.
The main oil fractions are as follows.
Gasoline fraction, collected from 40 to 200 ° C, contains hydrocarbons from C 5 H 12 to C 11 H 24. Upon further distillation of the isolated fraction, gasoline (t kip = 40–70 °C), petrol
(t kip \u003d 70–120 ° С) - aviation, automobile, etc.
Naphtha fraction, collected in the range from 150 to 250 ° C, contains hydrocarbons from C 8 H 18 to C 14 H 30. Naphtha is used as fuel for tractors. Large quantities of naphtha are processed into gasoline.
Kerosene fraction includes hydrocarbons from C 12 H 26 to C 18 H 38 with a boiling point of 180 to 300 °C. Kerosene, after being refined, is used as a fuel for tractors, jet planes and rockets.
Gas oil fraction (t bale > 275 °C), otherwise called diesel fuel.
Residue after distillation of oil - fuel oil- contains hydrocarbons with a large number of carbon atoms (up to many tens) in the molecule. The fuel oil is also fractionated by reduced pressure distillation to avoid decomposition. As a result, get solar oils(diesel fuel), lubricating oils(autotractor, aviation, industrial, etc.), petrolatum(technical petroleum jelly is used to lubricate metal products in order to protect them from corrosion, purified petroleum jelly is used as a basis for cosmetics and in medicine). From some types of oil paraffin(for the production of matches, candles, etc.). After distillation of volatile components from fuel oil remains tar. It is widely used in road construction. In addition to processing into lubricating oils, fuel oil is also used as liquid fuel in boiler plants. Gasoline obtained during the distillation of oil is not enough to cover all needs. In the best case, up to 20% of gasoline can be obtained from oil, the rest is high-boiling products. In this regard, chemistry faced the task of finding ways to obtain gasoline in large quantities. A convenient way was found with the help of the theory of the structure of organic compounds created by A.M. Butlerov. High-boiling oil distillation products are unsuitable for use as a motor fuel. Their high boiling point is due to the fact that the molecules of such hydrocarbons are too long chains. If large molecules containing up to 18 carbon atoms are broken down, low-boiling products such as gasoline are obtained. This way was followed by the Russian engineer V.G. Shukhov, who in 1891 developed a method for the splitting of complex hydrocarbons, later called cracking (which means splitting).

The fundamental improvement of cracking was the introduction of the catalytic cracking process into practice. This process was first carried out in 1918 by N.D. Zelinsky. Catalytic cracking made it possible to obtain aviation gasoline on a large scale. In catalytic cracking units at a temperature of 450 °C, under the action of catalysts, long carbon chains are split.

Thermal and catalytic cracking

The main way of processing oil fractions are various types of cracking. For the first time (1871–1878), oil cracking was carried out on a laboratory and semi-industrial scale by A.A. Letniy, an employee of the St. Petersburg Technological Institute. The first patent for a cracking plant was filed by Shukhov in 1891. Cracking has become widespread in industry since the 1920s.
Cracking is the thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons and other constituents of oil. The higher the temperature, the greater the cracking rate and the greater the yield of gases and aromatics.
Cracking of oil fractions, in addition to liquid products, produces a raw material of paramount importance - gases containing unsaturated hydrocarbons (olefins).
There are the following main types of cracking:
liquid phase (20–60 atm, 430–550 °C), gives unsaturated and saturated gasoline, gasoline yield is about 50%, gases 10%;
headspace(normal or reduced pressure, 600 °C), gives unsaturated aromatic gasoline, the yield is less than with liquid-phase cracking, a large amount of gases is formed;
pyrolysis oil (normal or reduced pressure, 650–700 °C), gives a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrobenzene), a yield of about 15%, more than half of the raw material is converted into gases;
destructive hydrogenation (hydrogen pressure 200–250 atm, 300–400 °C in the presence of catalysts - iron, nickel, tungsten, etc.), gives marginal gasoline with a yield of up to 90%;
catalytic cracking (300–500 °С in the presence of catalysts - AlCl 3 , aluminosilicates, MoS 3 , Cr 2 O 3 , etc.), gives gaseous products and high-grade gasoline with a predominance of aromatic and saturated hydrocarbons of isostructure.
In technology, the so-called catalytic reforming– conversion of low-grade gasolines into high-grade high-octane gasolines or aromatic hydrocarbons.
The main reactions during cracking are the reactions of splitting hydrocarbon chains, isomerization and cyclization. Free hydrocarbon radicals play a huge role in these processes.

Coke production
and the problem of obtaining liquid fuel

Stocks hard coal in nature far exceed oil reserves. Therefore, coal is the most important type of raw material for the chemical industry.
Currently, industry uses several ways of coal processing: dry distillation (coking, semi-coking), hydrogenation, incomplete combustion, and calcium carbide production.

Dry distillation of coal is used to obtain coke in metallurgy or domestic gas. When coking coal, coke, coal tar, tar water and coking gases are obtained.
Coal tar contains a wide variety of aromatic and other organic compounds. It is separated into several fractions by distillation at normal pressure. Aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, etc. are obtained from coal tar.
coking gases contain mainly methane, ethylene, hydrogen and carbon monoxide (II). Some are burned, some are recycled.
Hydrogenation of coal is carried out at 400–600 °C under a hydrogen pressure of up to 250 atm in the presence of a catalyst, iron oxides. This produces a liquid mixture of hydrocarbons, which are usually subjected to hydrogenation on nickel or other catalysts. Low-grade brown coals can be hydrogenated.

Calcium carbide CaC 2 is obtained from coal (coke, anthracite) and lime. Later it is converted into acetylene, which is used in the chemical industry of all countries on an ever-increasing scale.

From the history of the development of OJSC Rosneft-KNOS

The history of the development of the plant is closely connected with the oil and gas industry of the Kuban.
The beginning of oil production in our country is a distant past. Back in the X century. Azerbaijan traded oil with various countries. In the Kuban, industrial oil development began in 1864 in the Maykop region. At the request of the head of the Kuban region, General Karmalin, D.I. Mendeleev in 1880 gave an opinion on the oil content of the Kuban: Ilskaya".
During the years of the first five-year plans, large-scale prospecting work was carried out and commercial oil production began. Associated petroleum gas was partially used as household fuel in workers' settlements, and most of this valuable product was flared. In order to put an end to the wastefulness of natural resources, the USSR Ministry of the Oil Industry in 1952 decided to build a gas and gasoline plant in the village of Afipsky.
During 1963, an act was signed for the commissioning of the first stage of the Afipsky gas and gasoline plant.
At the beginning of 1964, the processing of gas condensates from the Krasnodar Territory began with the production of A-66 gasoline and diesel fuel. The raw material was gas from Kanevsky, Berezansky, Leningradsky, Maikopsky and other large fields. Improving production, the staff of the plant mastered the production of B-70 aviation gasoline and A-72 gasoline.
In August 1970, two new technological units for the processing of gas condensate with the production of aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylene) were put into operation: a secondary distillation unit and a catalytic reforming unit. At the same time, treatment facilities with biological wastewater treatment and the commodity and raw material base of the plant were built.
In 1975, a plant for the production of xylenes was put into operation, and in 1978, an import-made toluene demethylation plant was put into operation. The plant has become one of the leaders in the Minnefteprom for the production of aromatic hydrocarbons for the chemical industry.
In order to improve the management structure of the enterprise and the organization of production units in January 1980, the production association Krasnodarnefteorgsintez was established. The association included three plants: the Krasnodar site (in operation since August 1922), the Tuapse oil refinery (in operation since 1929) and the Afipsky oil refinery (in operation since December 1963).
In December 1993, the enterprise was reorganized, and in May 1994 Krasnodarnefteorgsintez OJSC was renamed into Rosneft-Krasnodarnefteorgsintez OJSC.

1. Natural sources of hydrocarbons: gas, oil, coal. Their processing and practical application.

The main natural sources of hydrocarbons are oil, natural and associated petroleum gases and coal.

Natural and associated petroleum gases.

Natural gas is a mixture of gases, the main component of which is methane, the rest is ethane, propane, butane, and a small amount of impurities - nitrogen, carbon monoxide (IV), hydrogen sulfide and water vapor. 90% of it is consumed as fuel, the remaining 10% is used as a raw material for the chemical industry: the production of hydrogen, ethylene, acetylene, soot, various plastics, medicines, etc.

Associated petroleum gas is also natural gas, but it occurs together with oil - it is located above the oil or dissolved in it under pressure. Associated gas contains 30-50% methane, the rest is its homologues: ethane, propane, butane and other hydrocarbons. In addition, it contains the same impurities as in natural gas.

Three fractions of associated gas:

1. Gasoline; it is added to gasoline to improve engine starting;

2. Propane-butane mixture; used as household fuel;

3. Dry gas; used to produce acylene, hydrogen, ethylene and other substances, from which, in turn, rubbers, plastics, alcohols, organic acids, etc. are produced.

Oil.

Oil is an oily liquid from yellow or light brown to black in color with a characteristic odor. It is lighter than water and practically insoluble in it. Oil is a mixture of about 150 hydrocarbons mixed with other substances, so it does not have a specific boiling point.

90% of the produced oil is used as raw material for the production of various fuels and lubricants. At the same time, oil is a valuable raw material for the chemical industry.

Oil extracted from the bowels of the earth, I call crude. Crude oil is not used, it is processed. Crude oil is purified from gases, water and mechanical impurities, and then subjected to fractional distillation.

Distillation is the process of separating mixtures into individual components, or fractions, based on differences in their boiling points.

During the distillation of oil, several fractions of petroleum products are isolated:

1. The gas fraction (tboil = 40°C) contains normal and branched alkanes CH4 - C4H10;

2. Gasoline fraction (tboil = 40 - 200°C) contains hydrocarbons C 5 H 12 - C 11 H 24; during re-distillation, light oil products are released from the mixture, boiling in lower temperature ranges: petroleum ether, aviation and motor gasoline;

3. Naphtha fraction (heavy gasoline, boiling point = 150 - 250 ° C), contains hydrocarbons of the composition C 8 H 18 - C 14 H 30, used as fuel for tractors, diesel locomotives, trucks;

4. Kerosene fraction (tboil = 180 - 300°C) includes hydrocarbons of the composition C 12 H 26 - C 18 H 38; it is used as fuel for jet planes, rockets;

5. Gas oil (tboil = 270 - 350°C) is used as diesel fuel and cracked on a large scale.

After distillation of the fractions, a dark viscous liquid remains - fuel oil. Solar oils, petroleum jelly, paraffin are isolated from fuel oil. The residue from the distillation of fuel oil is tar, it is used in the production of materials for road construction.

Oil recycling is based on chemical processes:

1. Cracking - the splitting of large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones. Distinguish between thermal and catalytic cracking, which is more common at present.

2. Reforming (aromatization) is the conversion of alkanes and cycloalkanes into aromatic compounds. This process is carried out by heating gasoline at elevated pressure in the presence of a catalyst. Reforming is used to obtain aromatic hydrocarbons from gasoline fractions.

3. Pyrolysis of petroleum products is carried out by heating petroleum products to a temperature of 650 - 800°C, the main reaction products are unsaturated gaseous and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Oil is a raw material for the production of not only fuel, but also many organic substances.

Coal.

Coal is also a source of energy and a valuable chemical raw material. The composition of coal is mainly organic matter, as well as water, minerals, which form ash when burned.

One of the types of coal processing is coking - this is the process of heating coal to a temperature of 1000 ° C without air access. Coking of coal is carried out in coke ovens. Coke consists of almost pure carbon. It is used as a reducing agent in the blast-furnace production of pig iron at metallurgical plants.

Volatile substances during condensation coal tar (contains many different organic substances, most of which are aromatic), ammonia water (contains ammonia, ammonium salts) and coke oven gas (contains ammonia, benzene, hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide (II), ethylene , nitrogen and other substances).
