Abstract:
One exemplary embodiment can be a slurry hydrocracking process. The process can include providing one or more hydrocarbon compounds having an initial boiling point temperature of at least about 340° C., and a slurry catalyst to a slurry hydrocracking zone. The slurry catalyst may have about 32-about 50%, by weight, iron; about 3-about 14%, by weight, aluminum; no more than about 10%, by weight, sodium; and about 2-about 10%, by weight, calcium. Typically, all catalytic component percentages are as metal and based on the weight of the dried slurry catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention comprises a process for removal of hydrogen sulfide from gaseous mixtures. The process involves the use of a mixture of a physical absorption solvent and an ionic liquid. The mixtures provided improved absorption of hydrogen sulfide, when compared to physical absorption solvents without the ionic liquid at low partial pressures of hydrogen sulfide. A regeneration cycle involving the addition of a solvent, such as water, is used to regenerate the mixture.
