Abstract

A method and chemical composition used to reduce sulfur content in bunker fuel or crude oil comprising: poly acrylonitrile, rnesophase pitch, zinc, acid and lignin.

Claims

1. A chemical composition used to reduce sulfur content in bunker fuel or crude oil comprising: poly acrylonitrile; mesophase pitch; zinc; acid; lignin.

2. The chemical composition of claim 1 wherein said acid is aluminum chloride.

3. The chemical composition of claim 1 wherein said chemical composition is added to 1 gallon of said crude oil or said bunker fuel, in the following weights of approximately 24 grams of said Poly Acrylonitrile, approximately 10 grams of said Mesophase pitch, approximately 11.5 grams of said Zinc, approximately 5.5 grams of said acid, and approximately 9 grams of said lignin.

4. The chemical composition of claim 1 wherein said composition reduces sulfur content of said bunker fuel or crude oil by at approximately 80% or more.

5. The chemical composition of claim 1 wherein said process of reducing sulfur content uses nano technology.

9. The chemical composition of claim 1 further comprising other nanomaterials to remove excess amounts of Vanadium, Sodium or Aluminum.

10. A method of reducing sulfur in bunker fuel or crude oil comprising; adding a chemical composition comprising poly acrylonitrile, mesophase pitch, zinc, acid, and lignin to bunker fuel or crude oil in a reactor type machine designed to mix the said chemical composition and said bunker fuel or crude oil into a solution; said sulfur coagulating to bottom of said reactor type machine.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein said acid is aluminum chloride.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein computer software is used with said reactor type machine.

13. The method of claim 10 wherein said computer software is programmed to specifically measure and mix each dosage of said chemical composition at a specific time in a mixing process.

14. The method of claim 10 wherein said chemical composition is added to 1 gallon of said crude oil or said bunker fuel, in a weight of approximately 24 grams of said Poly Acrylonitrile, approximately 10 grams of said Mesophase pitch, approximately 11.5 grams of said Zinc, approximately 5.5 grams of said acid, and approximately 9 grams of said lignin.

Description
