Abstract:
A practical catalyst exhibiting especially high CO shift reaction activity in a low temperature region where CO is favorably converted to H2 in equilibrium includes a carrier which is composed of titania as a main component, a noble metal which is supported on the carrier, and a sulfur-containing material which adheres to the carrier. The titania carrier to which the sulfur-containing material adheres exhibits high solid acid strength, and accordingly acts to absorb electrons from noble metal so that noble metal becomes partially oxidized. This results in the CO adsorbing ability decreasing to restrain poisoning of noble metal due to CO, whereby the CO shift reaction activity in a low temperature region is improved.

A process for the production of a supported catalyst. The process comprises heating a slurry that comprises a catalyst support and at least one active catalytic ingredient precursor. Gas is introduced to the slurry at a sufficient pressure to reduce the at least one active catalytic ingredient precursor and deposit at least one active catalytic ingredient onto a surface of the catalyst support to form the supported catalyst. The supported catalyst has a large active catalytic surface area.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a process for sulfiding a catalyst composition comprising at least one hydrogenation metal component of Group VI and/or Group VIII of the Periodic Table, and an S-containing organic additive wherein the catalyst composition is contacted with hydrogen and a sulfur-containing compound in the gaseous phase, characterized in that the process is carried out ex situ. By carrying out the process ex situ, the formation of undesirable side compounds in the hydrotreating unit is prevented. Additionally, the reactor suffers less downtime, and the start-up of the reactor may be simplified. The S-containing organic additive preferably is a mercapto-compound, more preferably a mercaptocarboxylic acid represented by the general formula HSnullR1-COOR, wherein R1 stands for a divalent hydrocarbon group with 1-about 10 carbon atoms and R stands for a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, ammonium, or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to about 10 carbon atoms. The invention also pertains to the catalyst made by the above process and a process for hydrotreating a hydrocarbon feed by contacting the feed with the catalyst at hydrotreating conditions.

Abstract:
A process for the sulfiding of a hydrodesulfurization catalyst for example in a distillation column reactor. The catalyst in the distillation column reactor is first dried using nitrogen and the reactor is filled with a sulfiding solvent and circulation begun. The reactor is heated to a temperature above the decomposition temperature of the sulfiding agent to be used and the sulfiding agent charged to the reactor. When sulfiding agent breakthrough is noted in the overheads the temperature is raised and held until sulfiding is complete.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a process for sulfiding a catalyst composition comprising at least one hydrogenation metal component of Group VI and/or Group VIII of the Periodic Table, and an organic additive wherein the catalyst composition is first contacted with an organic liquid, followed by the catalyst being contacted with hydrogen and a sulfur-containing compound in the gaseous phase, wherein less than about 40%, preferably less than about 35%, more preferably less than about 25%, most preferably less than about 15%, of the sulfur present in the sulfided catalyst is added with the organic liquid. The process of the present invention makes it possible to use additive-containing catalysts without loss of activity in units which cannot effect gas phase start-up or are required to carry out a pressure test. The organic liquid may be a hydrocarbon with a boiling range of about 150-500null C., preferably gasoline, white spirit, diesel, gas oil, mineral lube oil, or white oil. The step of contacting the catalyst with hydrogen and a sulfur-containing compound may take place in one step at a temperature of about 150-450null C. It may also take place in two steps, with the first step being performed at a temperature which is lower than that of the second step, with the first step being carried out at a temperature of about 100-250null C. and the second step at a temperature of about 150-450null C.
