摘要:
In a process for regenerating spent molten zinc chloride which has been used in the hydrocracking of coal or ash-containing polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbonaceous materials derived therefrom and which contains zinc chloride, zinc oxide, zinc oxide complexes and ash-containing carbonaceous residue, by incinerating the spent molten zinc chloride to vaporize the zinc chloride for subsequent condensation to produce a purified molten zinc chloride: an improvement comprising the use of clay in the incineration zone to suppress the vaporization of metals other than zinc. Optionally water is used in conjunction with the clay to further suppress the vaporization of metals other than zinc.

A method of forming a liquefied coal product having a lower sulfur percent by weight than the solid coal from which it is derived comprising the steps as follows:(a) providing solid coal having a sulfur percent by weight of a particle size less than about 14 Tyler mesh,(b) providing calcium oxide of a particle size less than about 40 Tyler mesh,(c) mixing said solid coal and said calcium oxide with liquefaction solvent to form a liquefaction mixture,(d) hydrogenating and heating said liquefaction mixture to at least about 750.degree. F. forming a liquefied coal product having residual coal solids and calcium sulfide solids,said liquefied coal product having a liquefied coal product sulfur percent by weight, which is less than said solid coal sulfur percent by weight.
摘要:
A method of hydrocracking using a zinc catalyst in the hydrogenation step comprising providing a hydrocarbonaceous feed of coal or tar to a hydrogenation means, removing spent zinc and catalyst from said hydrogenation means to a regeneration means, heating said spent zinc catalyst in said regeneration means, providing hydrogen chloride to said regeneration means, said spent zinc catalyst comprising ZnS, whereby ZnCl.sub.2 gas is formed, contacting at least a portion of said ZnCl.sub.2 with steam to form ZnO, conveying said ZnO and ZnCL.sub.2 to said hydrogenation means.
摘要:
In a process for hydrocracking a heavy aromatic polynuclear carbonaceous feedstock containing reactive alkaline constituents to produce liquid hydrocarbon fuels boiling below about 475.degree. C. at atmospheric pressure by contacting the feedstock with hydrogen in the presence of a molten metal halide catalyst, thereafter separating a gaseous stream containing hydrogen, at least a portion of the hydrocarbon fuels and acid gases from the molten metal halide and regenerating the molten metal halide, thereby producing a purified molten metal halide stream for recycle to the hydrocracking zone, an improvement comprising; contacting the gaseous acid gas, hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels-containing stream with the feedstock containing reactive alkaline constituents to remove acid gases from the acid gas containing stream. Optionally at least a portion of the hydrocarbon fuels are separated from gaseous stream containing hydrogen, hydrocarbon fuels and acid gases prior to contacting the gaseous stream with the feedstock.
摘要:
In a process for the production of hydrogen-rich gas from a gas containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other components by contacting the gas in a formate synthesis zone with an aqueous solution containing alkali metal carbonate and/or bicarbonate under conditions effective to produce an effluent aqueous solution containing the corresponding formate and an effluent gas containing the other components of the gas, and thereafter catalytically decomposing the formate in a formate decomposition zone under conditions effective to produce a hydrogen-rich gas and an aqueous solution which contains alkali metal carbonate and/or bicarbonate, the improvement comprising further contacting the gas and the aqueous solution in a catalytic formate synthesis zone prior to decomposing the formate.
摘要:
Improved rate of recovery of zinc values from the solids which are carried over by the effluent vapors from the oxidative vapor phase regeneration of spent zinc chloride catalyst is achieved by treatment of the solids with both hydrogen chloride and calcium chloride to selectively and rapidly recover the zinc values as zinc chloride.
摘要:
Flue gas is treated by a regenerable wet scrubbing process to reduce sulfur- and nitrogen oxides by reacting with a solution containing ammonium thiosulfate and hydroxide, and a ferrous chelating agent. A portion of the spent scrubber solution is regenerated by reaction with hydrogen sulfide, flashed to hydrolyze the polysulfide content, and then returned as regenerated solution to the principal scrubbing circuit.
摘要:
In a process for hydrocracking heavy aromatic polynuclear carbonaceous feedstocks to produce hydrocarbon fuels boiling below about 475.degree. C. by contacting the feedstocks with hydrogen in the presence of a molten zinc chloride catalyst and thereafter separating at least a major portion of the hydrocarbon fuels from the spent molten zinc chloride catalyst, an improvement comprising: adjusting the FeCl.sub.2 content of the molten zinc chloride to from about 2 to about 12 mol percent based on the mixture of ferrous chloride and molten zinc chloride.
