Although over 80% of additives are surfactants that act at the interface between two phases to reduce surface tension, their specific functions may vary. Let’s discuss the main components and working principles of commonly used refining additives: 1. Demulsifiers 2. Slurry scale inhibitors 3. CO combustion promoters 4. AFS-12, THS-1 (alkali-free deodorization additives for gasoline) 5. Hydrogenation corrosion inhibitors 6. Antioxidants (for aviation fuel) 7. Octane number improvers 8. Defoamers (used in benzene extraction; the main component is likely silicone oil) 9. Flocculants (used in flue gas desulfurization and denitrification; the main component is probably alum) 10. Additives for wastewater treatment (flocculants, coagulants; please add more if you know anything, thanks!) 11. Additives for lubricating oils (there are many of these as well; let’s talk about them. I’ll organize them once I have time). Manager Discussion Group
