Abstract

1,168,831. Purifying hydrocarbons using micro-organisms. BRITISH PETROLEUM CO. Ltd. 13 Jan., 1967 [3 Feb., 1966], No. 4763/66. Heading C5E. [Also in Division C6] A hydrocarbon purification process comprises cultivating a micro-organism, which is capable of growing on at least some straightchain hydrocarbons, in the presence of a hydrocarbon feedstock which consists in part of straight-chain hydrocarbons in the presence of an aqueous nutrient medium and in the presence of a gas containing free oxygen; thereafter separating, by using a surfactant, a fraction containing mainly unconsumed hydrocarbons together with a minor proportion of water and surfactant; heating said fraction whereby the surfactant is rendered partially or substantially water insoluble; separating a hydrocarbon phase containing surfactant from an aqueous phase; and hydrogenating said hydrocarbon phase under conditions such that the surfactant is rendered less effective or ineffective as an emulsifying agent. The microorganism may be a yeast or a bacterium. Preferably the surfactant is a non-ionic detergent of the formula A-(CH 2 CH 2 O) n H where A is a residual group of an alcohol or acid and n is an integer. The hydrocarbon phase containing surfactant may be hydrogenated over a cobalt and molybdenum-containing catalyst.
