    摘要: A process for removing trace amounts of moisture and/or one or more impurities from contaminated hydride, inert and non-reactive gases, thus decreasing the concentration of the impurities to parts-per-billion (ppb) or parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels. The gas purifier materials of this invention include thermally activated aluminas, said aluminas including organic alumina materials, modified organic alumina materials, and modified inorganic aluminas. The thermally activated alumina materials of this invention are activated by heating the alumina material at a temperature between about 50° C.–1000° C. in an inert or non-inert atmosphere or in a vacuum and maintaining the activated material in the inert or non-inert atmosphere or in a vacuum atmosphere subsequent to said activation but prior to use.

    摘要: Gas purifier system containing a preconditioned ultra-low emission (P-ULE) carbon for reducing trace impurities such as organic compounds and carbon monoxide in reactive fluids such as ammonia, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, and chlorine to sub-ppb levels. P-ULE is capable of removing impurities from a reactive fluid down to parts-per-billion (ppb) and sub-ppb levels without concurrently emitting other impurities such as moisture or carbon dioxide into the purified reactive fluid. The P-ULE carbon is prepared by heating a carbon material to temperatures between about 300° C. to 800° C. in an ultra-dry, inert gas stream, to produce an ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon material, subjecting the ULE carbon to a second activation process under a reactive gas atmosphere to produce a P-ULE carbon and storing the P-ULE carbon in an environment that minimizes contamination of the P-ULE prior to its use in a gas purifier system.

    摘要: Trace impurities such as organic compounds and carbon monoxide are reduced to sub-ppb levels in gases such as nitrogen, helium and argon, by gas purifying systems that contain an ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon material. Ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon materials can be made from commercially available carbon materials in the form of pellets, extrudates and beads and is capable of removing impurities from a gas stream down to parts-per-billion (ppb) and sub-ppb levels without concurrently emitting other impurities such as moisture or carbon dioxide to the purified gas stream. The carbon material is superactivated by heating the carbon to temperatures from 300° to about 800° degrees C. in an ultra-dry, inert gas stream. The ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon material is handled and stored in an environment that minimizes contamination from moisture and other oxygenated species in order to maintain its ppb and sub-ppb impurity removal and low emission properties. The ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon material can be used as “stand-alone” purifier material or in combination with other scavenging materials that are capable of removing large quantities of impurities such as oxygen and moisture that are not removed or only marginally removed by the ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon material.

    摘要: A method for removing trace moisture from a gas is disclosed. The method involves heating a zeolite having a high silica-to-alumina ratio to about 400.degree. C. to remove physically absorbed water from the zeolite, followed by heating the zeolite to a temperature in excess of 650.degree. C., to form a superheated zeolite. Heating to temperatures of 650.degree. C. or above is believed to cause dehydroxylation of the zeolite. A method for the preparation of a dehydroxylated zeolite is also disclosed. The superheated zeolite is contacted with the gas, thereby adsorbing water from the gas. A dehydroxylated zeolite for removing trace moisture from a gas wherein the zeolite has a high silica-to-alumina ratio and a low level of metallic impurities is also disclosed. The zeolite and methods of the invention are particularly useful for removing trace water from acid gases such as hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide.

    摘要: In a system and method for cleaning and recovering a solid catalyst, a solvent is added to a slurry comprising the catalyst and residual hydrocarbons. A portion of the residual hydrocarbons and the solvent are separated from the slurry, and the solvent addition and separating steps are repeated until a desired amount of the hydrocarbons have been removed. The solvent is finally removed from the catalyst using a stripping gas to recover a cleaned catalyst. In preferred embodiments, the slurry comprises a Fischer-Tropsch solid catalyst; the slurry exits a slurry bubble reactor, or both. In an embodiment, the solvent comprises naphtha; the residual hydrocarbons comprise waxy hydrocarbons; and one of the separation steps comprises filtration. In an embodiment, the repeating of the solvent addition and separating steps is carried out in a plurality of filters operated in series.
