Abstract:
The catalyst comprises a hydrogenation component, a small amount of rhenium, and a small amount of gallium on a solid catalytic support comprising a porous refractory inorganic oxide. The rhenium and the gallium may be present either in the elemental form or as compounds. The preferred hydrogenation component is a Group VIII noble metal and the preferred porous refractory inorganic oxide is a catalytically active alumina. The reforming process comprises contacting a petroleum hydrocarbon stream in a reforming zone under reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with the above-described catalyst. In one embodiment, the process comprises contacting a partially-reformed hydrocarbon stream in a reforming zone under reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with the above catalyst. In another embodiment, the process comprises contacting a naphtha in a reforming zone under reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with the above catalyst. In a third embodiment, the process comprises contacting the petroleum hydrocarbon stream in a first reforming zone under reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a first reforming catalyst to produce a first reformate and subsequently contacting the first reformate in a second reforming zone under reforming conditions and in the presence of hydrogen with a second reforming catalyst, said second reforming catalyst being the catalyst described in the preceding paragraph.
Abstract:
AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CO-CRYSTALS OF TITANIUM TRICHLORIDE AND ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE WITH A DESIRED COMPOSITION PREFERABLY ABOUT THREE MOLES OF TITANIUM TRICHLORIDE AND ONE MOLE OF ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE, AND SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF IMPURITIES IS DESCRIBED. SUCH CRYSTALS ARE OF VALUE AS A CATALYST, PARTICULARLY, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR PREPARING POLYPROPYLENE. THE CO-CRYSTALS ARE PREPARED BY REACTING TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE WITH ALUMINUM IN AN EXCESS OF TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE. AFTER REACTION, EXCESS TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE IS VAPORIZED BY HEATING THE COCRYSTALS. THE IMPROVED PROCESS PROVIDED HEREIN INVOLVES DRY BALL MILLNG OF A SELECTED ADDITION OF ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE WITH THE CO-CRYSTALS AFTER FORMATION, FOR ENRICHING THE CO-CRYSTALS BACK TO STOICHIOMETRY TO COMPENSATE FOR ALUMINUM TIRCHLORIDE VOLATILIZED IN THE DRYING OPERATION.
Abstract:
AN IMPROVED RUTHENIUM CATALYST IS PREPARED BY IMPREGNATING A CATALYST SUPPORT WITH A RUTHENIUM CHLORIDE SOLTUION, DRYING THE IMPREGNATED SUPPOT BY VOLATILIZATION OF THE RUTHENIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION AD THEN PARTIALLY REDUCING THE DRIED RUTHENIUM CHLORIDE COATING ON THE SUPPORT. THE CATALYST IS USEFUL IN THE HYDROGENATION OF THE PYRROLES. SPENT CATALYST CAN BE REJUVENATED BY RECOATING WITH RUTHENIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION, DRYING THE COATED SPENT CATALYST AND THEN PARTIALLY REDUCING THE RUTHENIUM CHLORIDE COATING.
