Abstract:
A method to upgrade heavy oil feedstock using an ebullated bed reactor and a novel catalyst system is provided. The ebullated bed reactor system includes two different catalyst with different characteristics: an expanded catalyst zone containing particulate catalyst having a particle size of greater than 0.65 mm; and a slurry catalyst having an average particle size ranging from 1 to 300 μm. The slurry catalyst is provided to the ebullated bed system containing the heavy oil feedstock, and entrained in the upflowing hydrocarbon liquid passing through the ebullated bed reaction zone. The slurry catalyst reduces the formation of sediment and coke precursors in the ebullating bed reactor system. The slurry catalyst is prepared from rework materials, which form a slurry catalyst in-situ upon mixing with the heavy oil feedstock.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a cobalt-containing hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst precursor includes calcining a loaded catalyst support comprising a catalyst support supporting a cobalt compound. The calcination includes subjecting the loaded catalyst support to heat treatment by heating the loaded catalyst support to a temperature, T, of at least 220° C. at a heating rate below 10° C./minute, and effecting gas flow at a space velocity of at least 9 m3n/kg cobalt compound/hour over the loaded catalyst support during at least part of the heating. The cobalt-containing hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst precursor is thereby produced.

Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing bio-aromatic compounds from glycerol. The method uses a primary alcohol, secondary alcohol or a combination thereof as a mixing medium in converting glycerol into an aromatic compound, and thus overcomes the high viscosity of glycerol and improves the problem of rapid catalytic deactivation, thereby increasing the yield of aromatic compounds and improving the stability of catalyst. In addition, the method for producing bio-aromatic compounds uses a zeolite-based catalyst that is a kind of solid acid catalysts, and suggests optimum reaction conditions, and thus imparts a high added value to glycerol produced as a byproduct in a biodiesel production process and increases the cost-efficiency of process.
