Abstract:
The invention relates to a catalyst material comprising a support, a first metal and a second metal on said support. The first and second metals are in the form of a chemical compound. The first metal is Fe, Co or Ni, and the second metal is selected from the group consisting of Sn, Zn and In. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) from methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3), wherein the methane and ammonia are contacted with a catalyst according to the invention.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a reactor and a method of operation for an exothermal process being catalyzed by a catalytically active material receiving a reactant gas and providing a product gas, in which said exothermal process has a heat development having a potential for thermally degrading said catalytically active material, and which exothermal process operates at a temperature at which the reactants and at least 80% or all of the products are present as gases, said method comprising the steps of a) directing the reactant gas to a first zone of a material catalytically active in the exothermal process producing an first product gas, and b) directing the first product gas to a second zone of a material catalytically active in the exothermal process producing a product gas, with the option of fully or partially by-passing either said first zone or said second zone, while directing a non-condensing gas stream having a temperature at least 50° C. lower than the product gas to said by-passed zone, wherein the choice of by-passing said zone is made based on the time of operation or a process parameter reflecting the catalytic activity of the zone of catalytically active material which is not by-passed with the associated benefit of reducing the extent of thermal deactivation of the catalytically active material, and thus increasing the overall lifetime of the catalytically active material.
Abstract:
A catalyst for the conversion of oxygenates, such as alcohols or ethers, to olefins consists essentially of a selected SUZ-4 zeolite that has a Si/Al ratio of at least 20, preferably between 20 and 500, especially between 20 and 100. The basic SUZ-4 zeolite is prepared in a manner known per se, whereafter the Si/Al ratio is increased to the desired value. The selected SUZ-4 zeolite catalyst of the invention has a longer life time and a better product selectivity than the conventional/standard SUZ-4 zeolite catalysts.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method and system for the purification of exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine, comprising a filter and a SCR catalyst. The filter is periodically regenerated increasing the temperature of the exhaust gas up to 850° C. and the water vapor content up to 100% by volume. The SCR catalyst comprises a hydrothermally microporous stable zeolite and/or zeotype having the AEI type framework and being promoted with copper.
Abstract:
In a broad form the present invention relates to a method for oxidation of a species comprising sulfur in an oxidation state below +4, such as H2S, CS2, COS and S8 vapor, to SO2 said method comprising the step of contacting the gas and an oxidant with a catalytically active material consisting of one or more elements taken from the group consisting of V, W, Ce, Mo, Fe, Ca, Mg, Si, Ti and Al in elemental, oxide, carbide or sulfide form, optionally with the presence of other elements in a concentration below 1 wt %, at a temperature between 180° C. and 290° C., 330° C., 360° C. or 450° C., with the associated benefit of such a temperature being highly energy effective, and the benefit of said elements having a low tendency to form sulfates under the conditions, with the related benefit of an increased stability of the catalytically active material. The other elements present may be catalytically active noble metals or impurities in the listed materials.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for starting up a gas-to-liquid process including the production of synthesis gas and a downstream GTL process. The synthesis gas is produced by the use of autothermal reforming (ATR) or catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) and during the starting period the effluent gas from the ATR or CPO is significantly changed to form an off-gas recycle which is fed to the ATR or CPO. When the downstream GTL process is running, the recycle to ATR or CPO is shifted to its off-gas.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of synthesis gas by the use of autothermal reforming or catalytic partial oxidation in which, after removal of water, effluent gas from the ATR or CPO is recycled to the feed of the ATR or CPO.
