Abstract:
A carbon-based catalyst for flue gas desulfurization is brought into contact with a flue gas containing at least SO 2 gas, oxygen and water vapor so that the SO 2 gas can react with the oxygen and the water vapor to form sulfuric acid which is to be recovered. On a surface of the carbon-based catalyst, iodine, bromine or a compound thereof is added, ion exchanged or supported and a water-repellent treatment is applied. The carbon-based catalyst can also be used as a mercury adsorbent for flue gas treatment for adsorbing and removing metallic mercury from a flue gas containing metallic mercury, SO 2 gas, oxygen and water vapor.
Abstract:
A hydroprocessing catalyst composition that comprises a shaped support that is formed from a mixture of inorganic oxide powder and catalyst fines and wherein the shaped support has incorporated therein at least one metal component, a chelating agent and a polar additive. The hydroprocessing catalyst composition is prepared by incorporating into the shaped support a metal component, a chelating agent and a polar additive.

Abstract:
[Problems] A catalyst for catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbon, having high thermal shock resistance, and a process for producing a synthesis gas using the catalyst are provided. [Means for Resolution] A catalyst for catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbon is used in producing a synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen by adding oxygen and steam to a raw material hydrocarbon, thereby subjecting the raw material hydrocarbon to catalytic partial oxidation, and comprises a carrier comprising an inorganic oxide and an active metal supported thereon. In the catalyst, the total of volume of pores having a pore diameter in a first range of from 0.1 µm to less than 1. 0 µm is 32% or more of the whole pore volume, and the total of volume of pores having a pore diameter in a second range of from 1.0 µm to 10 µm or less is 14% or more of the whole pore volume.
Abstract:
A process for generating at least one polyol from a feedstock comprising saccharide is performed in a continuous or batch manner. The process involves, contacting, hydrogen, water, and a feedstock comprising saccharide, with a catalyst system to generate an effluent stream comprising at least one polyol and recovering the polyol from the effluent stream. The catalyst system comprises at least one unsupported component and at least one supported component.
