摘要:
This invention relates to a process for hydro cracking of heavy oils. More particularly, this invention relates to a catalytic process for converting heavy oils, such as vacuum gas oil (VGO) and VGO containing a high proportion of vacuum resid (VR) to middle distillate products.

The invention concerns a method for separating at least one catalyst from a mixture of catalysts homogeneous in shape, the catalysts comprising at least one metal chosen from the group formed by Ni, Co, Mo, W, the catalyst to be separated comprising a characteristic metal chosen from the group formed by Ni, Co, Mo, W and the other catalysts of the mixture not containing said characteristic metal, method in which - the catalyst grains of said mixture move past the LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometry) detection system • - the presence of said characteristic metal in the catalysts is detected by the LIBS technique, the wavelength being chosen to detect said characteristic metal • - the LIBS detection system sends a signal to a means for discharging the grains of the catalyst to be separated so as to separate said grains from the other catalysts of said mixture. The invention also concerns the associated device.
摘要:
Systems and methods for regenerating a spent catalyst are provided. The method can include heating a hydrocarbon and a coke precursor in the presence of catalyst particles to provide a cracked hydrocarbon product and coked catalyst particles. The cracked hydrocarbon product and the coked catalyst particles can be selectively separated to provide a hydrocarbon product and coked catalyst particles. The coked catalyst particles can be mixed with a carrier fluid to provide a mixture. The mixture can be introduced to an upper surface of a dense phase catalyst zone disposed within a regenerator. A gas can be introduced to a lower zone of the dense phase catalyst zone. At least a portion of the carbon deposited on the coked catalyst particles can be combusted to provide a flue gas, heat, and a regenerated catalyst.
摘要:
A process for recovering metals from a stream rich in hydrocarbons and carbonaceous residues by means of a treatment section, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: sending said stream to a primary treatment, effected in one or more steps, wherein said stream is treated in the presence of a fluxant agent in a suitable apparatus, at a temperature ranging from 80 to 180° C., preferably from 100 to 160° C., and subjected to liquid/solid separation in order to obtain a clarified product essentially consisting of liquids and a cake (oilcake); possibly subjecting the separated cake to drying, in order to remove the hydrocarbon component having a boiling point lower than a temperature ranging from 300 to 350° C. from the cake; sending the cake, possibly dried, to a secondary thermal treatment comprising: a flameless pyrolysis of the cake effected between 400 and 800° C., preferably between 500 and 670° C.; an oxidation of the pyrolysis residue effected in an oxidizing environment and at temperatures ranging from 400 to 800° C., preferably from 500 to 700° C.
摘要:
A method for regenerating spent supported metal catalysts comprising treating the spent catalyst with an organo-metallic complex forming agent having an ionization constant pK1 of at least 2.5. The catalyst activity is restored to an activity level near to or greater than the fresh catalyst. The regeneration method is particularly useful for regenerating spent palladium catalysts on an alumina support as utilized for the hydrogenation of ethyl anthraquinone (EAQ) in the production of hydrogen peroxide.
摘要:
Spent catalyst or regenerated catalyst from a biomass conversion unit may be rejuvenated by treating at least a portion of the spent catalyst or regenerated catalyst with a treatment acid, the treatment acid comprising an inorganic acid or an organic acid or a mixture thereof.
摘要:
A hydropyrolysis catalyst and a process using that catalyst are described. The catalyst comprises a support and an active metal component wherein the catalyst is an eggshell type catalyst having the active metal component located in the outer portion of the support.
摘要:
Useful portions of equilibrium catalyst from a Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit are obtained by fractionating to obtain a narrow size fraction, followed by separation of the narrow size fraction using density as a fractionating criterion. Size fractionating may be performed in vibrating sieves, and the density fractionating may be performed in an air cyclone. Both beneficial and detrimental fractions can be identified; in one embodiment, large particles are removed from ECAT to improve the coking factor.
