Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are simply in the science of chemistry a class of organic matter in which only the atoms of the elements carbon and hydrogen are involved in their molecular structure. Hydrocarbons, like the classification of all organic matter, fall into two groups: aliphatic and aromatic. Alternatively, hydrocarbons can be grouped into two unsaturated and one saturated group.

Heavy hydrocarbon

Heavy hydrocarbons One of the unique features of chemistry that has caused us to see its traces everywhere and increase the extent of its borders day by day, is the high fertility and variety of products that come out of it. For example, the components of a simple compound may have many isotopes (the difference between similar atoms in the number of neutrons), which is why this seemingly ordinary compound has different states depending on the atom in which it exists. Situations that sometimes make a big difference.

For example, it may not be easy for some to believe that isotopically we can have 18 different models of a water molecule. In this combination, having 3 hydrogen isotopes (hydrogen, deuterium and tritium) and 3 oxygen isotopes (represented by numbers 16, 17 and 18) as well as 3 different permutations, there are 2 × 3 × 3 possible states that cause This water molecule can be formed in different ways that heavy water, whose name is often heard, is produced from the combination of heavier isotopes in the same way.

Sulfur (S), nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) atoms are usually substituted for carbon in hydrocarbons. The higher the amount of sulfur in the hydrocarbon compounds, the more it changes the physical behavior and causes a corrosive state. Compounds become heavier and oil refining becomes more difficult. The fewer substituents in the hydrocarbons, the lighter and purer the crude oil.

Heavy hydrocarbon applications

For example, urea, dimethyl ether (DME) or chemical raw materials and the use of heavy hydrocarbons The environmental benefits of clean burning GTL products have been shown to have the potential to improve air quality in cities compared to refinery transport fuels.

Carbon is the most amazing element known

Understanding the importance of individual elements and the extent to which even one or more electrons affect them, carbon is one of the most amazing elements known to man. This element, which has an atomic number of six on the right side of the periodic table of elements and the non-metal part, has four empty orbitals in its last layer, although it is not as reactive as alkali metals, but it is also able to lose electrons in the last layer. It becomes a positive ion and can also be converted to a negative ion by acquiring the same electrons.

Among the various classifications offered for carbon-containing materials, those compounds that are hydrogen-linked and covalently bonded to produce new materials are called hydrocarbons (hydrogen and carbon).

Production of light hydrocarbons from heavy hydrocarbons

Since most of the country’s extracted oil is heavy and has low economic value, converting heavy hydrocarbon compounds to light is very important. Heavy hydrocarbons have both transportation problems due to high viscosity, high density and و and low economic value due to the difficulty of processing and use in energy production processes. These heavy products are used in low-value sectors such as bitumen and wax production, but will have high value if processed and broken large hydrocarbon chains into lighter products.

Types of oil-producing hydrocarbons

Paraffinic hydrocarbons (alkalis)

Alkalis are the simplest and lightest molecules in the paraffin series, they are simple bonded, they are saturated hydrocarbons, they are chain or linear molecules, they can have a side branch or no branch. Light paraffins are specific to natural gases, and heavier types are found in crude oil. The simplest is methane (CH4).

Usually the amount of 3 carbon for gases, but carbon takes 2 to 4 liquid states.

Petroleum hydrocarbons (cycloalkals or cycloparaffin)

They are the simplest cyclic hydrocarbons, simple bonded, saturated, can have a side branch, tafts are rare in gases but more abundant in crude oils. The purer the crude oil, the higher the amount of naphthenes.

Aromatic hydrocarbons (aromatic)

Cyclic hydrocarbons with simple double bonds have a benzene structural unit and are unsaturated.

Asphaltic hydrocarbons

Contains a combination of a large number of aromatic ring molecules, along with the elements O, N, S, which are generally very heavy and unsaturated and do not have a specific general formula. They are mostly of poor quality and concentrated in heavy crude oils or are found in solid oils (natural asphalt).

Introduction of hydrocarbon blending method

This system is for mixing two or more light and heavy hydrocarbons.

In Iran, most manufacturers seek to produce products similar to refinery diesel in this way, which can be sold in the markets of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq instead of the main diesel of state-owned refineries, because diesel from state-owned refineries is subsidized and exported privately. And it is forbidden with the domestic price, and therefore these factories, by finding suitable and similar formulations and lower cost prices, can sell their product and be interested in exporting in a simple and completely legal way.

It is certain that the hydrocarbons obtained from this process are lower in quality than diesel, but due to the very close similarity of physical properties such as density and flash points, color and transparency, and most importantly, lower cost. For global prices, diesel can easily be sold in neighboring countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.
