Abstract:
An improved process for converting hydrocarbons using a catalyst which is periodically regenerated to remove carbonaceous deposits, the catalyst being comprised of a mixture containing, as a major component, solid particles capable of promoting hydrocarbon conversion at hydrocarbon conversion conditions, and, as a minor component, discrete entities comprising at least one spinel, preferably alkaline earth metal-containing spinel; thereby reducing the amount of sulfur oxides exiting the catalyst regeneration zone.Improved hydrocarbon conversion catalysts are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A passivation process for decreasing the poisonous effects from contamination by metals, such as vanadium, iron, nickel or copper that can occur during a catalytic conversion of a hydrocarbon feedstock containing such metals is disclosed. The process employs compositions of organic or aqueous media containing one or more, at least partially soluble species of phosphorus compounds.

A passivation process for decreasing the poisonous effects from contamination by metals, such as vanadium, iron, nickel or copper that can occur during a catalytic conversion of a hydrocarbon feedstock containing such metals is disclosed. The process employs compositions of organic or aqueous media containing one or more, at least partially soluble species of silicon, alone or in combination with phosphorus and/or aluminum-containing materials or species.
Abstract:
A process for the removal of metal poisons such as nickel, iron and/or vanadium from a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst which includes the step of contacting the catalyst with a sulfur-containing compound to convert at least a portion of the metals on the catalyst to a sulfur-containing metal compound. The weight % sulfur on the thus treated catalyst is controlled to about 40-90%, preferably about 40-75%, of the weight % of the total nickel, vanadium and iron on the catalyst. Preferably, the sulfur-containing compound is hydrogen sulfide in admixture with a reducing gas such as hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide. This step facilitates metal removal in subsequent processing steps.
Abstract:
A process for reducing the sulfur and ash content of coal comprising the steps of:(1) contacting coal particles containing ash and iron pyrite mineral matter with a promoting amount of at least one conditioning agent capable of modifying or altering the existing surface characteristics of the pyrite under conditions to effectuate alteration or modification of at least a portion of the contained pyritic sulfur;(2) agglomerating the coal particles while said surfaces are altered or modified in an aqueous medium with hydrocarbon oil; and(3) recovering coal hydrocarbon oil agglomerates wherein the coal exhibits reduced sulfur and ash content.
Abstract:
A process for the removal of metal poisons such as nickel, iron and/or vanadium from a hydrocarbon conversion catalyst which includes the step of contacting the catalyst with a reductive wash medium comprising an aqueous, preferably saturated, solution of SO.sub.2 to remove at least a portion of the metal poisons. The vanadium and nickel metals may be recovered from the resultant used wash solution for possible metallurgical use. The SO.sub.2 reductively washed catalyst may also be subjected to a subsequent oxidative wash such as hydrogen peroxide wash prior to its return to the hydrocarbon conversion process.

A process for reducing the pyritic sulfur content of coal comprising the steps of:(1) contacting an aqueous slurry of water, an alkaline earth metal base and pyrite-containing coal at elevated temperature with oxygen, said alkaline earth metal base being present in an amount at least equal to the stoichiometric amount of pyrite, and said aqueous slurry being maintained at a pH of from about 5.0 to about 12.0; and(2) recovering coal particles of reduced pyritic sulfur content.
Abstract:
The float-sink separation of coal from pyrite and ash in a bath of liquid SO.sub.2 is disclosed. The specific gravity of the bath may adjusted by the addition of inert materials such as miscible materials or finely divided solids. Additional separation in another dense medium may be employed. The communition, conveying and mining of coal with liquid SO.sub.2 is also disclosed.
