    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hydrothermally stable catalyst composition. The hydrothermally stable supported catalyst composition comprises K2CO3 impregnated on an amorphous silica-alumina support. The weight ratio of silica to alumina in the support is in the range of 0.1 to 1.5. The amount of K2CO3 is in the range of 5 wt % to 60 wt % with respect to the total catalyst composition. The catalyst composition is characterized by a pore volume in the range of 0.1 cc/g to 0.9 cc/g, a surface area in the range of 40 m2/g to 250 m2/g and an attrition index in the range of 2% to 8%. The present disclosure also relates to a process for preparing the catalyst composition. The catalyst composition provides improved hydrothermal stability, attrition resistance, high pore volume and surface area for gasifying carbonaceous feed at low temperature, as compared to a conventional catalyst composition.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process for reducing oxygenate content of hydrocarbon feed. The process comprises passing and heating the hydrocarbon feed over ion exchange resin resident in a reactor, maintained at a temperature in the range of 90 to 140° C. and a predetermined pressure, at a predetermined liquid hourly space velocity to obtain a heated intermediate fluid. The heated intermediate fluid is cooled to obtain a cooled intermediate fluid. The cooled intermediate fluid is mixed with water to obtain a mixture. The mixture is allowed to settle to obtain an aqueous phase and an organic phase. The aqueous phase is separated from the organic phase to obtain hydrocarbon feed with reduced oxygenate content. The process is simple and environment friendly, enabling removal of 70-90% of the oxygenate content from the hydrocarbon feed.
