The present disclosure provides petrochemical processing methods and systems, including ethylene conversion processes and systems, for the production of higher hydrocarbon compositions, for example liquid hydrocarbon compounds, with reduced amount of unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Methods, catalysts, and reactor systems for producing in high yield aromatic chemicals and liquid fuels from a mixture of oxygenates comprising di- and polyoxygenates are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods, catalysts, and reactor systems for producing aromatic chemicals and liquid fuels from oxygenated hydrocarbons such as carbohydrates, sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar degradation products, and the like; and methods, catalysts, and reactor systems for producing the mixture of oxygenates from oxygenated hydrocarbons such as carbohydrates, sugars, sugar alcohols, sugar degradation products, and the like. The disclosed catalysts for preparing the mixture of oxygenates comprise a Ni.sub.nSn.sub.m alloy and a crystalline alumina support.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing carbon nanotubes which are capable of more effectively preparing carbon nanotubes having a uniform and fine size, and a dispersion composition of carbon nanotubes obtained using the same. The method for preparing carbon nanotube comprises the steps of: forming a dispersion comprising carbon nanotube bundles, a dispersant and a solvent; and enabling the dispersion to consecutively pass through a high pressure homogenizer, wherein the dispersant is a mixture of plural kinds of polyaromatic hydrocarbon oxides, and the carbon nanotube bundles are pulverized or disentangled while passing through a microchannel of the high pressure homogenizer under a shear force to form carbon nanotubes.
