Definitions
- This invention resides in the field of an improved processes and equipment used in the treatment of materials in a liquid media by acoustic vortical streams using ultra sound waves. More specifically, this invention relates to an improved process using acoustic vortical streams to extract hydrocarbons into a liquid solvent medium from organic shale.
- the Kuhn et al. patent discloses a continuous-flow processor that includes a multitude of ultrasonic horns and generators supplying frequencies less than 100 kHz.
- the Blomquist et al. patent discloses an ultrasonic generator utilizing a magnetostrictive powder composite operating at a resonance frequency of 23.5 kHz.
- the Sawyer et al. patent discloses a flow-through reaction tube with three sets of ultrasonic transducers, each set containing four transducers and delivers ultrasound at a frequency of 20 to 40 kHz.
- SulphCo, Sparks, Nev. is promoting ultrasonics for upgrading heavy sour crude oils into lighter sweeter material. Its technology reportedly increases gravity and reduces sulfur and nitrogen levels and viscosity, thus providing more product per barrel.
- a typical Middle East crude oil contains 40-45% residuum and 0-5% asphaltenes. The ultrasonic process converts a portion of these undesirable components to lighter, more desirable fractions. Sulfur and residuum content is claimed to be reduced by up to 80%.
- a test unit with a throughput of 2,000 bbl/d of petroleum products was recently installed at OIL-SC in South Korea. It has demonstrated a 5- degree rise in gravity on Arab Medium crude oil.
- the SonoCracking technology uses high-power ultrasonic energy on a mixture of crude oil and water in conjunction with inexpensive proprietary catalysts.
- the use of high-power ultrasound induces cavitations in the processed liquid, creating bubbles which grow, contract and eventually burst under the stress of the ultrasound waves.
- the bursting generates excess heat and pressure in and around every micrometer and submicrometer-sized bubble.
- the entire process takes a few nanoseconds and each bubble behaves as a microreactor accelerating the physical reactions owing to the heat released.
- the high temperature (10,000 K) and pressure (10,000 psi) conditions cause disruption of molecular bonds.
- the output is synthetic oil that can be refined into gasoline and other products.
- the company also has developed a way to burn the leftover shale, which still contains residual fuel.
- the patent describes a method for extracting oil content from oil shale by compressing powdery grains of oil shale while applying ultrasonic waves to these powdery grains to separate the oil content from the powdery grains of oil shale.
- Also known is the treatment of crude oil fractions, fossil fuels, and products thereof with sonic energy described in U.S. Patent No. 7,081,196. This process connected with contacting crude oil fraction exposed to sonic energy with hydrogen gas under conditions causing conversion of organic sulfur to hydrogen sulfide by hydrodesulfurization.
- the invention overcomes known problems by providing a process to treat shale in a liquid media by acoustic vertical streams using vibrations, including, ultrasound waves that is: (1) low cost; (2) does not consume water; (3) does not cause environmental damage; (4) requires no burning of shale or its' inorganic matter; (5) produces sulfur-free fuel; (6) does not employ chemical catalysts; (7) has small energy consumption; (7) has negligible heat emission and hence no need for cooling; (8) the inorganic leftover can be used as feedstock for the cement production thus creating an overall non-waste technology; (9) enables modular deployment and upscaling; and (10) possibility to use lean and small shale deposits.
- the invention solves the problems of obtaining fuel from shale. While even efficiently obtaining crude oil from shale remains a problem, the present invention solves the problem to obtain directly a more advanced light fraction rich fuel, which could be used after slight refining as a motor fuel, jet fuel, or the like.
- the invention uses ultrasonic waves produced by either piezoelectric, magnetostrictive transducers, or hydrodynamic radiators to obtain the above light fraction rich fuel.
- a magnetostrictive material is one that undergoes a physical change in size or shape as the result of the application of a magnetic field.
- Magnetostrictive transducers are made of a piece of iron or nickel surrounded by an electric coil; current passed through the coil generates a magnetic field, causing the metal to expand and contract at ultrasonic frequencies.
- the ultrasonic waves impose an oscillation pressure on the liquid media.
- the invention can also use vibrations to impart wave energy on the liquid media.
- the wave will induce a mixing motion, a process called acoustic streaming.
- ultrasonics propagate by oscillating pressure waves that alternately stretch and compress the liquid. Microbubbles form when the local pressure during the expansion phase falls below the vapor pressure of the liquid. During this step, gases dissolved in the bulk liquid can enter the microbubbles and then react during collapse. This compression stage leads to the release of energy that is both short lived and concentrated on the order of microvolumes. The result can be extremely high shear forces for micromixing and the appearance of reactive species such as free radicals within the bubbles.
- insoluble organic shale has been turned soluble by following the disclosed inventive process. During the process, a sample of ground Israel shal&OtHras been ⁇ urintcradiquidrwhichrunder normal condition is unableio ⁇ dissolve it. In the first stage, a water mixture of shale oil is subject to vortical movements, wave movements, acoustical streams, or combinations thereof, until a foam appears due to cavitation.
- the foam which contains organic particles of shale oil, is placed in an organic solvent (e.g. ethanol) causing separation of the organic shale matter from the non-organic matter.
- an organic solvent e.g. ethanol
- the brownish solution is subject to vortical movements, wave movements, acoustical streams, or combinations thereof to separate the organic substances from the inorganic solids.
- This stage also converts the organic substances into liquid form, which readily mixes with the solvent to form a brownish shale fuel.
- the inorganic solids are removed and can be used in the cement manufacturing process.
- a sample of a finely ground shale is submerged in a solvent (e.g. ethanol) and subject to ultrasound excitation (sonication).
- a solvent e.g. ethanol
- the sonication causes cavitation and the emergence of (vortical) turbulent streams.
- the cavitation produces free radicals, where the free radicals extract hydrocarbons from the shale (primarily benzene derivatives) and mix with the solvent, thus creating a solution with new features.
- These features include high flammability and high caloric value, meaning that the obtained solution can be used (possibly after slight reforming, alteration) as an efficient fuel.
- the leftover of the shale (primarily inorganic matter) precipitates and can be used in the cement manufacturing process.
- the yielded brownish solution is far closer to fuels, then ordinary oil, and it requires less refining, if any, to be used as a fuel.
- the obtained brownish solution did not change its color for three months and no additional precipitates were observed.
- the obtained shale fuel is highly combustible, with a combustion temperature more then 1000 0 C.
- the inventive process is also effective when butanol is used in place of ethonal. Further, the inventive process is also effective at extracting hydrocarbons from butanol, tar sands, bitumen and coal.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a process that can be used to produce non-organic matter of shale, consisting primarily of clay, calcite and minerals. The non-organic matter can be used, for example, in cement manufacturing.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a process that can also be used to treat oil shale to form compounds used as a substitution for crude oil.
- FIG.l is a constructional view of the device used in the embodiments of the inventive process.
- FIG.2 is constructional view of a buster used in the embodiments of the inventive process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
- the organic release method according to the invention comprises a process for pulverizing shale oil into powdery grains by, for example, a mechanical means; mixing grains in a liquid and treatment of the mixture by vortical movements, wave movements, acoustical streams, or combinations thereof; foaming; removing the foam ,which contains the organic materials of shale oil, from the mixture; mixing the foam containing organic materials with the liquid solvent, for example ethanol; and processing this mixture by vortical movements, wave movements, acoustical streams, or combinations thereof.
- the processing forms a liquid, which contains derivates of benzene (see Table 1) and light fractions of hydrocarbons, for example, Toluene,
- Xylene and others that are released from organic materials of shale oil.
- the non-organic solids from the shale oil consist of, for example, Calcite, Clay, and minerals (see Table 3). The whole process takes place under ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure without the presence of catalysts. No water is consumed and no gases are released.
- the obtained liquid is a brownish solution, which is a true (real) solution, since it did not change its color for more then three months and no additional precipitates were observed following termination of the process.
- the yielded brownish solution is closer to fuel, than ordinary shale oil, and it requires far less refining if any to be used as a fuel. Therefore, one may justify calling it a shale fuel rather than a shale oil.
- said process consists of the following steps: a) preparing a liquid suspension or aqueous mixture made of ground shale; b) processing the mixture by a wave process comprising vibrational energy or vortical movements, wave movements, acoustic turbulent streams, or combinations thereof that promote separation and release of oil shale organic fractions; c) causing cavitation of the mixture and a resultant foam; d) removing the foam from the aqueous mixture surface; e) mixing the foam into a liquid solvent, for instance, ethanol; f) processing the mixture by using vibrational energy vortical movements, wave movements, acoustic turbulent streams, or combinations thereof that promote the dissolution of solid organic substances found in the foam, and their conversion into the liquid state; and g) isolating the inorganic solid particles from the liquid;
- the liquid obtained is eliminated from the separated insoluble particles and can be used as a fuel that can fully or partially replace gasoline.
- the bulk of insoluble particles consisting of calcite, clay, and such minerals as quartz, pyrite, apatite can be used as construction material, which altogether ensures the wasteless technology of inventive process.
- Figure 1 shows the device called a turbulizer, which clarifies the inventive process.
- the turbulizer comprises waveguide 1 placed into cylinder 2.
- Aqueous mixture of shale particles 3 is poured into cylinder 1 up to the level 4 coinciding with nodular plane 5 of waveguide 1 immersed into the waveguide down to the depth equal to AA, where X, is the length of the wave propagating in the waveguide.
- Figure 2 further describes the inventive process. Vertical motions 7 of which can lead to foaming 8, and in this process light organic particles 9 appear at the surface of mixture 3 and are trapped by foam 8.
- the organic-particle-enriched foam 8 (supported by the chemical analysis data tabulated in Tables 1, 2) is eliminated from the mixture surface and moved to the other similar turbulizer (not shown in the Figures), where it is mixed with liquid organic solvent, for example, ethanol, and is exposed to turbulent acoustic flows.
- liquid organic solvent for example, ethanol
- the exposure to turbulent acoustic flows results in the dissolution of solid organic particles and emergence of liquid with dissolved gasoline components that represent such light fractions of benzene derivatives as Toluene, p-Xylene,, Benzene, l-ethyl-2-methyl, Benzyne, 1,2,3-trimethyl- and others (See chemical analysis data in Table 2).
- the mixture is then segregated into liquid and solid sedimented fractions. The segregation can be either spontaneous or forced.
- the liquid fraction is a flammable fluid enriched with benzene derivates and its characteristics are given in the Table 2.
- the liquid fraction is removed from the second turbulizer to the reservoir (not shown in the figures).
- Its solid sedimented portion includes insoluble solid particles and essentially represents the shale inorganic portion.
- the inorganic portion is made primarily of calcite and clay that can be used as a construction material, which thus ensures wasteless, ecologically pure production (shale composition is given in Table 3).
- the fuel obtained differs critically by its brownish color, which does not alter with time, and is a true solution of shale organic fraction.
- the fuel combusts totally and does not contain sulfur. (See chemical analysis results in the Table 2 and combustion results in Table 4).
- Table 1 Increase of yield of organic material from suspension of shale oil in foam after wave activation (i.e. turbulent acoustic stream) on suspension in water
- the organic materials obtained from the inventive process contain benzene derivates, for example, benzene (1-buryheptyl) and others, which is dissolved in the organic liquid solvent.
- wave treatment turbulent acoustic streaming
- diapason 10kHz - 100kHz the organic materials separate from the inorganic solids.
- the result is the extraction of the organic materials into the organic liquid solvent, which can be used as a fuel since its burning temperature is 1010 0 C and its calorific value is 10.3 Mcal/kg, which is higher than pure ethanol (see Table 4).
- Table 4 Heat of combustion for common fuels
- the energy content of the shale fuel obtained from the above example is higher than that of ethanol and is close to that of diesel and is slightly lower than gasoline. The burning takes place with a reddish-yellow flame.
- the inorganic matter of shale, precipitated in the course of the process consists primarily of clay, calcite, and minerals. This can be used in cement manufacturing.
