摘要:
A process is disclosed for reactivating an agglomerated iridium-containing catalyst and particularly platinum-iridium on alumina reforming catalysts. The process includes contacting a substantially decoked agglomerated catalyst with a reducing gas such as hydrogen to reduce agglomerated iridium oxides present to the free metal, a hydrogen halide pretreatment step to increase the halogen level of the catalyst to about 1.3 weight percent and above, and a redispersion step involving hydrogen halide and elemental oxygen. Use of hydrogen halide and elemental oxygen in the redispersion treatment eliminates the need for use of elemental chlorine gas. If no iridium oxides are initially present, the hydrogen reduction step is optional.

Catalyst compositions suitable for use in the exhaust gas recycle stream of an internal combustion engine are provided. Such catalyst compositions typically provide significant amounts of methane in addition to syngas. A reformer incorporating such a catalyst for use in an exhaust gas recycle portion of an internal combustion engine powertrain is described. A powertrain incorporating such a reformer, a method of increasing the octane rating of an exhaust gas recycle stream, and a method of operating an internal combustion engine using methane-assisted combustion are also described.
摘要:
Biomass is used as a co-feed for a heavy petroleum oil coking process to improve the operation of the coking process and to utilize biomaterial for the production of transportation fuels. The coking process may be a delayed coking process or a fluidized bed coking process and in each case, the presence of the biomass will decrease the coke drying time so reducing coke handling problems in the unit besides forming a superior coke product. In the case of a fluidized bed coking process using a gasifier for the coke, the addition of an alkali metal salt improves the operation of the gasifier.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved exhaust gas cleaning system and method for a combustion source comprising a hydrogen generation system, a sulfur oxides trap, and a nitrogen storage reduction (NSR) catalyst trap. The improved exhaust gas cleaning system and method of the present invention also provides for a water-gas-shift catalyst between the sulfur oxides trap and the NSR catalyst trap, and a clean-up catalyst downstream of the NSR catalyst trap. The invention provides also a sulfur trap regenerable at moderate temperatures with rich pulses, rather than at high temperatures. The improved exhaust gas cleaning system of the present invention provides for the sulfur released from the sulfur trap to pass through the nitrogen oxide trap with no or little poisoning of NOx storage and reduction sites, which significantly improves NSR catalyst trap lifetime and performance to meet future emissions standards. The disclosed exhaust gas cleaning systems are suitable for use in internal combustion engines (e.g., diesel, gasoline, CNG) which operate with lean air/fuel ratios over most of the operating period.

摘要:
The invention is directed towards a method for adjusting the NO.sub.2 to NO content of a diesel engine's exhaust without affecting engine performance. The NO.sub.2 to NO ratio is adjusted by varying the amount and tinting of secondary hydrocarbon injection during the engine's expansion stroke. The appropriate amount of secondary injected hydrocarbon and the appropriate injection timing are determined from calibration values obtained by direct engine measurements and the desired NO.sub.2 :NO ratio.

A process is described for reactivating agglomerated iridium-containing catalysts such as Pt-Ir on Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 reforming catalyst. The agglomerated catalyst is decoked to remove carbon deposits; treated with hydrogen to reduce metal oxides to the free metals; pretreated with hydrogen halide to provide at least about a 1.3 weight percent halide content; and treated with a low mass flow rate of chlorine of about one gram chlorine per 100 grams catalyst per hour. Use of a low mass halogen flow rate significantly retards ferrous metal corrosion and significantly reduces the quantity of chlorine normally used in achieving high redispersion values.

摘要:
A low sulfur coke product is obtained in an integrated fluid coking and gasification process in which an oxygen-containing gas is introduced into the upper portion of the gasification zone and steam is introduced into the lower portion of the gasification zone. The desired degree of coke desulfurization is controlled by controlling the thickness of the gasifier coke layer on the gaseous reactor leaving solids per pass.
