Abstract:
Process for the preparation of a catalyst composition comprising the steps of (a) treating an FCC equilibrium catalyst that contains alumina and zeolite with an acidic solution to obtain an acid-treated equilibrium catalyst, and (b) contacting the acid-treated equilibrium catalyst with an aqueous solution or suspension of a divalent metal compound. With this process, FCC equilibrium catalysts - even when highly contaminated with vanadium - can be upgraded to make them suitable again for use in catalytic processes, for instance as catalyst additives in FCC.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of a catalyst comprising the steps of (a) preparing a slurry comprising clay, zeolite, and quasi-crystalline boehmite, provided that the slurry does not comprise peptised quasi-crystalline boehmite, (b) adding a monovalent acid to the slurry, (c) adding a silicon source to the slurry, and (d) shaping the slurry to form particles. This process leads to a catalyst with high accessibility and high attrition resistance.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a hydroprocessing catalyst, to the catalyst composition obtainable by said process, and to the use of said catalyst composition in hydroprocessing applications. Said process comprises the steps of combining and reacting at least one Group VIII non-noble metal component in solution and at least two Group VIB metal components in solution in a reaction mixture to obtain an oxygen-stable precipitate, and sulphiding the precipitate.

Process for the preparation of an oxidic catalyst composition consisting of one or more trivalent metals preferably aluminum, one or more divalent metals preferably magnesium and more than 18 wt% of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of rare earth metal compounds, phosphorus compounds, and transition metal compounds, which process comprises the steps of preparing a precursor mixture consisting of (i) or more trivalent metal compounds, (ii) one or more divalent metal compounds, (iii) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of rare earth metal compounds, and transition metal compounds, and (iv) optionally water, which precursor mixture is not a solution. The resulting oxidic catalyst composition is suitable as a metal trap and SOx sorbent FCC processes.
Abstract:
A combined process for the conversion of solid starting particles into solid intermediate particles and reducing the median diameter of the intermediate particles to obtain product particles. This process involves flowing a suspension of starting particles through a series of at least two conversion vessels, thereby converting at least part of the starting particles into intermediate particles, adding a supercritical fluid to one or more of the conversion vessels, thereby forming a supercritical suspension, and releasing pressure from the supercritical suspension, thereby expanding the suspension and converting the intermediate particles into product particles.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an oxidic catalyst composition comprising 5-60 wt% of a divalent metal, 5-60 wt% of a trivalent metal, and 35-60 wt% of a rare earth metal, calculated as oxide and based on the total weight of the oxidic catalyst composition. The invention also relates to a process for preparing such an oxidic catalyst composition. This composition is suitable as metal trap in FCC processes.
Abstract:
Process for the preparation of a catalyst comprising the steps of: (a) calcining solid acid-containing particles at a temperature in the range of 400-575°C, (b) incorporating a Group VIII noble metal into the calcined particles to form noble metal-containing particles, and (c) calcining the noble metal-containing particles at a temperature in the range of 350-600°C. The use of two calcination steps in the above temperature ranges results in alkylation catalysts with improved performance.
