Abstract:
A process and catalyst for use therein for the production of aromatics via the oxidative coupling of methane and methane co-aromatization with higher hydrocarbons in a single reaction stage. First, methane is partially converted to ethane and ethylene on an OCM catalyst component, and the OCM intermediate mixture containing methane, ethane and ethylene is subsequently converted into aromatics on an aromatization catalyst component. The reaction may be conducted at 550-850° C. and at about 50 psig. The claimed process and catalyst used therein achieves high methane conversion at lower temperatures (less than 800° C.), higher methane conversion into the aromatic products and significant reductions in production cost when compared to the traditional two (or more) step processes.

Abstract:
A catalyst for producing aromatic compounds from lower hydrocarbons while improving activity life stability of methane conversion rate; benzene formation rate; naphthalene formation rate; and total formation rate of benzene, toluene and xylene is formed by loading molybdenum and copper on metallo-silicate serving as a substrate and then calcining the metallo-silicate. When the catalyst is reacted with a reaction gas containing lower hydrocarbons and carbonic acid gas, aromatic compounds are produced. In order to obtain the catalyst, it is preferable that molybdenum and copper are loaded on zeolite formed of metallo-silicate after the zeolite is treated with a silane compound larger than a pore of the zeolite in diameter and having an amino group and a straight-chain hydrocarbon group, the amino group being able to selectively react with the zeolite at a Bronsted acid point of the zeolite. It is preferable that a loaded amount of molybdenum is within a range of from 2 to 12 wt. % based on total amount of the calcined catalyst while copper is loaded at a copper to molybdenum molar ratio of 0.01 to 0.8.
Abstract:
A process for producing a supported mesoporous and microporous material, comprises contacting a support with a template to produce a supported template, and contacting the supported template with one or more microporous material precursor to produce a supported microporous material-template composite, and subsequently removing the template from the supported microporous material-template composite to produce the supported mesoprous and microporous material. A composition comprising a supported mesoprous and microporous material produced by this process can be used for methane dehydroaromatization.
Abstract:
Provided is a process for producing an aromatic hydrocarbon using a molybdenum-containing solid catalyst, more specifically a process for producing an aromatic hydrocarbon efficiently from a lower hydrocarbon gas essentially containing methane by activating the molybdenum-containing solid catalyst with maintaining a high yield for a long period of time.The process comprises a pre-contacting step of allowing a molybdenum-containing solid catalyst to contact with a pre-contacting gas comprising at least one selected from a lower hydrocarbon and a hydrogen gas; and a reaction step of allowing the pre-contacted catalyst to contact with a raw material gas essentially containing methane, to generate an aromatic hydrocarbon, wherein the starting temperature in the pre-contacting step is lower than the reaction temperature, and the temperature during the pre-contacting step from the beginning to the end is not over the reaction temperature.
Abstract:
A process for producing an aromatic hydrocarbon, comprises heating the hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalyst carrying a molybdenum compound or a rhenium compound on a metallosilicate carrier modified with a silicon compound, a sodium compound or a calcium compound. The silicon compound is a silane compound having a basic group selected from amino, alkylamino and pyridyl groups and an organic group of a size equal to or greater than the pore size of the metallosilicate and selected from trialkoxy and triphenyl groups and the sodium compound or the calcium compound is a compound having an organic group of a size equal to or greater than the pore size of the metallosilicate and selected from crown ether, hexafluoropentanedione and acetylacetonate. The silane compound, the sodium compound or the calcium compound is modified so as to make an oxide thereof by impregnating the metallosilicate carrier with it and subsequently heat-treating it in an oxygen-containing atmosphere.
Abstract:
An isomerization catalyst is provided, along with corresponding systems and methods, which provides improved isomerization for bio-derived feeds in reaction environments where by-products from deoxygenation are present. The catalyst provides unexpectedly increased activity and/or selectivity in situations where, for example, a deoxygenation effluent is cascaded to the isomerization catalyst. Additionally, the isomerization catalyst can assist with reducing or minimizing hydrogen consumption during isomerization. The increased activity, stability, and/or reduced hydrogen consumption is achieved in part based on using a dispersion agent when adding base metals to the catalyst. In addition to the base metals, the catalyst includes a zeolitic framework structure suitable for isomerization.
