摘要:
Methods and apparatus relate to catalysts and preparation of the catalysts, which are defined by sulfides of a transition metal, such as one of molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium. Precursors for the catalysts include a metal ion source compound, such as molybdenum trioxide, and a sulfide ion source compound, such as thioacetamide. Once the precursors are dissolved if solid and combined in a mixture, homogenous precipitation from the mixture forms the catalysts. Exemplary uses of the catalysts include packing for a methanation reactor that converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen into methane.
摘要:
A desulfurization system employing a system of fluidizable and circulatable solid particles to desulfurize a hydrocarbon-containing fluid in a fluidized bed reactor. The solid particulate system includes solid sorbent particles operable to remove sulfur from the hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream and solid catalyst particles operable to enhance the octane of the resulting desulfurized hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream. The solid particulate system can be circulated between a reactor, regenerator, and reducer, to thereby allow for substantially continuous desulfurization in the reactor.
摘要:
A composition comprising a metal oxide and a promoter, wherein at least a portion of the promoter is present as a reduced valence promoter, and methods of preparing such composition are disclosed. The thus-obtained composition is employed in a desulfurization zone to remove sulfur from a hydrocarbon stream.
摘要:
A process of modifying a zeolite catalyst to produce a modified zeolite catalyst wherein the modified zeolite catalyst has blocked pore sites. An oxygenated feed is flowed over the modified zeolite catalyst, wherein the oxygenated feed comprises hydrocarbons, methanol and dimethyl ether or a mixture thereof. The hydrocarbons, methanol and dimethyl ether in the oxygenated feed react with the modified zeolite catalyst to produce cyclic hydrocarbons, wherein the cyclic hydrocarbons produced has less than 10% durene and a median carbon number is C8.
摘要:
A method for regenerating desulfurization sorbents that minimizes the in situ formation of one or more silicates. It has been discovered that regenerating sulfur-laden sorbent particles in a carbon oxide-rich environment unexpectedly reduces the in situ silicate formation rate, as compared to similar sorbents regenerated using conventional methods.

A sorbent composition comprising a promoter metal, zinc oxide, and a high density refractory metal oxide can be used to more effectively desulfurize a sulfur-containing fluid such as cracked-gasoline or diesel fuel.
摘要:
A deactivated sorbent composition is reactivated by contacting the deactivated sorbent with a reducing stream under activation conditions sufficient to reduce the amount of sulfates associated with the sorbent composition.
摘要:
A silicate-resistant sorbent composition, as well as a method of making and using the same, is provided. The sorbent composition generally comprises a support component comprising one or more silicate-resistant silica-containing components that have been treated one or more silicate-inhibiting metals. The inventors have discovered that sorbent compositions made and used according to embodiments the present invention exhibit a surprisingly low in situ silicate generation rate when exposed to oxidative regeneration conditions.
