Method of synthesizing materials integrating supernatant recycle

A process for synthesis of a material comprising:

• carrying out a first synthesis of a first material in the presence of one or more water-soluble oxidized disulfide oil, WS-ODSO, compounds to form the first material as a first precipitate suspended in a first supernatant, wherein the first supernatant contains WS-ODSO compounds;
• separating all or a portion of the first precipitate from the first supernatant;
• and
• carrying out an Nth synthesis of a same, similar or different type of material, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and wherein the Nth synthesis uses supernatant from an (N−X)th synthesis that contains WS-ODSO compounds, wherein X is an integer between 1 and (N−1).

A process for synthesis of a material comprising:

• carrying out a first synthesis of a first material in the presence of one or more water-soluble oxidized disulfide oil, WS-ODSO, compounds to form the first material as a first precipitate suspended in a first supernatant, wherein the one or more WS-ODSO compounds are derived from oxidation of disulfide oil compounds present in an effluent refinery hydrocarbon stream recovered following catalytic oxidation of mercaptans present in a mercaptan-containing hydrocarbon stream;
• separating all or a portion of the first precipitate from the first supernatant;
• and
• carrying out an Nth synthesis of a same, similar or different type of material, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and wherein the Nth synthesis uses supernatant from an (N−X)th synthesis, wherein X is an integer between 1 and (N−1).

A process for synthesis of a material comprising:

• carrying out a first synthesis of a first material in the presence of one or more water-soluble oxidized disulfide oil, WS-ODSO, compounds to form the first material as a first precipitate suspended in a first supernatant, wherein the one or more WS-ODSO compounds is selected from the group consisting of WS-ODSO compounds having the general formula (R−SOO—SO—R′), (R—SOO—SOO—R′), (R—SO—SOO—OH), (R—SOO—SOO—H), (R—SOO—SO—OH), (R′—SO—SO—OR), (R′—SOO—SO—OR), (R′—SO—SOO—OR) and (R′—SOO—SOO—OR), wherein R and R′ can be the same or different C1-C10 alkyl or C6-C10 aryl;
• separating all or a portion of the first precipitate from the first supernatant;
• and
• carrying out an Nth synthesis of a same, similar or different type of material, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and wherein the Nth synthesis uses supernatant from an (N−X)th synthesis, wherein X is an integer between 1 and (N−1).

A process for synthesis of a material comprising:

• carrying out a first synthesis of a first material in the presence of one or more water-soluble oxidized disulfide oil, WS-ODSO, compounds to form the first material as a first precipitate suspended in a first supernatant, wherein the one or more WS-ODSO compounds are acidic and are provided in a composition with an alkaline agent as a pH-modified WS-ODSO composition;
• separating all or a portion of the first precipitate from the first supernatant;
• and
• carrying out an Nth synthesis of a same, similar or different type of material, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and wherein the Nth synthesis uses supernatant from an (N−X)th synthesis, wherein X is an integer between 1 and (N−1), wherein precursors and reagents for the (N−X)th synthesis comprise a mineralizer, and wherein the supernatant from an (N−X)th synthesis comprises the alkaline agent from the pH-modified WS-ODSO composition as all or a portion of the mineralizer required for the Nth synthesis.
