A method of providing sulfidation corrosion resistance and corrosion induced fouling resistance to a heat transfer component surface includes providing a silicon containing steel composition including an alloy and a Si-partitioned non-metallic film formed on a surface of the alloy. The alloy is formed from the composition η, θ, and t, in which η is a metal selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Co, and mixtures thereof, θ is Si, and t is at least one alloying element selected from the group consisting of Cr, Al, Mn, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Sc, La, Y, Ce, Ru, Rh, Ir, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, Ga, Ge, As, In, Sn, Sb, Pb, B, C, N, P, O, S and mixtures thereof. The Si-partitioned non-metallic film comprises at least one of sulfide, oxysulfide and mixtures thereof.
摘要:
A process for the reactivation, or rejuvenation of a nickel-alumina catalyst employed in the production of a gas comprised of an admixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, or synthesis gas, by the conversion, in a reactor, or reaction zone, of light hydrocarbons in a fluidized bed of the catalyst at elevated temperature, in the presence of steam and oxygen. Catalyst reactivation is accomplished by withdrawing a portion of the catalyst from the fluidized bed of the reactor and treating the catalyst in an oxidation zone at temperature sufficient to oxidize and convert the nickel component of the catalyst to nickel aluminate and disperse said nickel aluminate within the alumina support, and then recycling the treated catalyst to the reactor, or reaction zone, to reactivate and increase the activity of the catalyst. The catalyst, on reduction in the reactor, or reaction zone, is provided an additional boost in activity by washing, treating or contacting the catalyst from the elevated temperature oxidation zone with an acid sufficient to remove trace impurities without removing any substantial amount of the nickel aluminate, and without forming a residue on the catalyst surface. The normal tendency of the catalyst to agglomerate at reaction conditions is also reduced by the acid treatment.

In a coal gasification operation or similar conversion process carried out in the presence of an alkali metal-containing catalyst wherein solid particles containing alkali metal residues are produced in the gasifier or similar reaction zone, alkali metal constitutents are recovered from the particles by withdrawing and passing the particles from the reaction zone to an alkali metal recovery zone in the substantial absence of molecular oxygen and treating the particles in the recovery zone with water or an aqueous solution in the substantial absence of molecular oxygen. The solution formed by treating the particles in the recovery zone will contain water-soluble alkali metal constituents and is recycled to the conversion process where the alkali metal constituents serve as at least a portion of the alkali metal constituents which comprise the alkali metal-containing catalyst. Preventing contact of the particles with oxygen as they are withdrawn from the reaction zone and during treatment in the recovery zone avoids the formation of undesirable alkali metal constituents in the aqueous solution produced in the recovery zone and insures maximum recovery of water-soluble alkali metal constituents from the alkali metal residues.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of high surface area mixed metal oxides by decomposition of solid solutions of carbonates possessing the calcite structure. Oxide compounds comprising mixtures of Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd and Mg can be prepared by this method. For example, CaMnO.sub.3 with a surface area of 11 m.sup.2 /g useful as a battery cathode, has been prepared by the instant method, that is, by decomposition of a CaMn(CO.sub.3).sub.2 precursor.The mixed metal carbonate solid solutions which are used as precursors for the preparation of the mixed metal oxides are themselves prepared by the precipitation from solution of the appropriate metal ions by the addition of an excess of a carbonate ion source (such as (NH.sub.4).sub.2 CO.sub.3). The metal-ion ratio in this solution is adjusted so that the resulting precipitate has the same stoichiometry as the desired oxide. The intimate mixing achieved by using the carbonate precipitation technique allows calcination to metal oxide to be run at lower temperatures for shorter periods of time, thereby achieving higher surface areas.

摘要:
In a coal gasification operation or similar conversion process carried out in the presence of an alkali metal-containing catalyst wherein solid particles containing alkali metal residues are produced, alkali metal constituents are recovered from the particles primarily in the form of water soluble alkali metal formates by treating the particles with a calcium or magnesium-containing compound in the presence of water at a temperature between about 250.degree. F. and about 700.degree. F. and in the presence of added carbon monoxide. During the treating process the water insoluble alkali metal compounds comprising the insoluble alkali metal residues are converted into water soluble alkali metal formates. The resultant aqueous solution containing water soluble alkali metal formates is then separated from the treated particles and any insoluble materials formed during the treatment process, and recycled to the gasification process where the alkali metal formates serve as at least a portion of the alkali metal constituents which comprise the alkali metal-containing catalyst. This process permits increased recovery of alkali metal constituents, thereby decreasing the overall cost of the gasification process by reducing the amount of makeup alkali metal compounds necessary.
