Abstract:
The useful life of a deactivated inorganic pillared clay catalyst or an inorganic pillared clay sorbent saturated with a steam-distillable organic sorbate is extended by adding a small amount of ammonia to the regeneration gas or to the regeneration steam.
Abstract:
A regeneration method of a nitrogen-containing carbon catalyst includes the following steps: roasting the nitrogen-containing carbon catalyst in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere to obtain a regenerated nitrogen-containing carbon catalyst. The method is a universal method, which is suitable for nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts and can be used to regenerate a nitrogen-containing carbon catalyst for producing vinyl chloride (VC) through 1,2-dichloroethane cracking. The method can greatly reduce the production cost of the catalyst and increase the service life of the catalyst, and a regeneration process thereof is fast, simple, and controllable, and does not require high temperatures.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for low temperature desulfating sulfur-poisoned SCR catalysts, and emission control systems adapted to apply such desulfating methods, in order to regenerate catalytic NOx conversion activity. The methods are adapted for treating an SCR catalyst to desorb sulfur from the surface of the SCR catalyst and increase NOx conversion activity of the SCR catalyst, the treating step including treating the SCR catalyst with a gaseous stream comprising a reductant for a first treatment time period and at a first treatment temperature, wherein the first treatment temperature is about 350° C. or less, followed by a second treatment time period and a second treatment temperature higher than the first treatment temperature, wherein the molar ratio of reductant to NOx during the treating step is about 1.05:1 or higher.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for preparing diamino-dicyclohexyl methane (H12MDA) by hydrogenation of diamino-diphenyl methane (MDA). In the process, 4,4′-MDA used as the starting material is firstly hydrogenated to prepare 4,4′-H12MDA. When the activity of the catalyst is reduced, the feed is switched from 4,4′-MDA to the mixture of 2,4′-MDA and 4,4′-MDA, and then when the conversion is stabilized, the feed is switched to 4,4′-MDA again. The deactivated catalyst is activated on line by switching the feed to the mixture of 2,4′-MDA and 4,4′-MDA. 4,4′-H12MDA having the trans-trans isomer content of 16˜24 wt % is produced, and the mixture of 2,4′-H12MDA and 4,4′-H12MDA is also produced, wherein the content of 2,4′-H12MDA in the mixture is 4˜15 wt %.

Abstract:
Naphtha is selectively hydrodesulfurized in the presence of a sulfided, treated catalyst comprising at least a Group VIB metal catalytic component, to produce sulfur-reduced naphtha with reduced olefin loss due to saturation. The catalyst is treated with hydrogen, a selectively deactivating agent which deactivates its hydrogenation activity, and a protective agent which preserves its hydrodesulfurization activity during the treatment.
Abstract:
A method for producing ε-caprolactam and a method for reactivating a zeolite catalyst for the production are provided. In the reactivation step, a zeolite catalyst is allowed to contact a gas containing a carboxylic acid, water and a compound selected from ammonia and amines. In accordance with the present invention, the catalytic activities of a zeolite catalyst used for the Beckmann rearrangement reaction of cyclohexanone oxime can be effectively restored. Consequently, ε-caprolactam may be produced with a high production yield for a long period of time by reusing the catalyst by the method described above.
Abstract:
A method and associated apparatus for regenerating and/or stabilizing catalyst used in dehydrogenation of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons is disclosed. The alkylaromatic hydrocarbon (1) and steam (2) are combined to form feedstream (3) and pass into reactor (50). The ensuing product stream (4) is reheated in heater (52) to restore the heat lost and passed as partially converted reactant stream (5) into second reactor (54) and leaves as stream (6) comprising the dehydrogen product. Restoration and/or stabilization of catalyst is accomplished by an alkali metal compound which is fed into feedstream (2) and/or product stream (5) via supply means (46 and 66), respectively. The amount of alkali metal compound entering the reactor(s) is monitored by means (42 and 62) which may in turn be coupled to activating means (44 and 64) to signal and activate the supply means. This method and apparatus permit the restoration and/or stabilization of the catalyst to be performed without interrupting the dehydrogenation reaction.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for regenerating and/or stabilizing the activity of a dehydrogenation catalyst used in dehydrogenating an alkylaromatic hydrocarbon to obtain an alkenylaromatic hydrocarbon, the method comprising the steps of continuously or intermittently adding to a reactant stream an effective amount of an alkali metal compound without interrupting the dehydrogenation reaction.
