Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A METHOD FOR DETECTING AND ANALYZING QUANTITATIVELY THE COMPONENTS OF A HYDROCARBON GAS MIXTURE WHICH MAY BE HYDROCRACKED TO METHANE AND WHICH HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FROM ONE ANOTHER BY THE PROCESS OF GAS CHROMATOGRA PHY, WHICH COMPRISES THE IMPROVEMENT OF PASSING THE SEPARATED COMPONENTS DIRECTLY TO A HYDROCRACKING ZONE, HYDROCRACKING THE SEPARATED COMPONENT IN THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN TO FORM METHANE, SAID HYDROCRACKING BEING CONDUCTED OVER A NICKEL CATALYST AT A TEMPERATURE OF BETWEEN ABOUT 450 AND 800* F. AND AT S SPACE VELOCITY SUFFICIENT TO EFFECT SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE DEMETHYLATION OF THE HDYROCARBON GAS, AND ANALYZING THE HYDROCRACKING PRODUCT STREAM FOR METHANE AS A QUANTITATIVE MEASURE OF THE COMPONENT.
