Catalytically Inactive Heat Generator And Improved Dehydrogenation Process

View page
US Patent:
7622623, Nov 24, 2009
Filed:
Sep 2, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/218949
Inventors:
Vladimir Fridman - Louisville KY, US
Jay S. Merriam - Louisville KY, US
Michael A. Urbancic - Louisville KY, US
Assignee:
Sud-Chemie Inc. - Louisville KY
International Classification:
C07C 2/76
C07C 2/78
C07C 5/08
C07C 11/00
C07C 5/09
C07C 5/327
B01J 23/00
B01J 20/00
US Classification:
585630, 585602, 585616, 585627, 585629, 502305, 502318, 502415
Abstract:
An improved dehydrogenation catalyst bed system for olefin production utilizing classical processing techniques is disclosed. The catalyst bed system comprises a dehydrogenation catalyst comprising an active component selected from an oxide of a metal of Group 4 or Group 5 or Group 6 and combinations thereof and a support selected from aluminum oxide, aluminas, alumina monohydrate, alumina trihydrate, alumina-silica, transition aluminas, alpha-alumina, silica, silicate, aluminates, calcined hydrotalcites, zeolites and combinations thereof mixed with a first inert material selected from any material that is catalytically inactive when subjected to reaction conditions that can effect dehydrogenation of olefins and that has a high density and high heat capacity and that is not capable of producing heat during any stage of the dehydrogenation process, and the dehydrogenation catalyst plus the first inert material then being physically mixed with a secondary component comprising a heat-generating inert material and a carrier capable of supporting the heat-generating inert material, wherein the secondary component is catalytically inert with respect to dehydrogenation reactions or to cracking or to coking and generates heat after being exposed to reducing and/or to oxidizing reaction conditions.

Catalyst For Carbon Monoxide Conversion In Sour Gas

View page
US Patent:
43893350, Jun 21, 1983
Filed:
Apr 14, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/253941
Inventors:
Jay S. Merriam - LaGrange KY
Cecil B. Hogg - Louisville KY
Assignee:
United Catalysts Inc. - Louisville KY
International Classification:
B01J 2334
B01J 2388
US Classification:
252439
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the conversion of carbon monoxide in sour synthesis gas mixtures in the presence of a catalyst which is active in the presence of sulfur compounds. The catalyst comprises known sulfactive metal oxides or sulfides supported on a shaped carrier. The catalytically active oxides or sulfides are doubly promoted with an alkali metal compound and an oxide or sulfide or manganese. The two promoters combined in proper ratio provide a synergistic effect on the activity of the catalyst which is enhanced beyond that of the singly promoted catalyst. The catalysts are active at relatively low temperatures of less than 500. degree. F. , even in the presence of sulfur compounds. The equilibrium for the conversion of steam and carbon monoxide to hydrogen and CO. sub. 2 is favored at lower temperatures.

Catalyst And Process For Steam-Reforming Of Hydrocarbons

US Patent:
42331870, Nov 11, 1980
Filed:
Mar 26, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/024005
Inventors:
Kenton Atwood - New Albany IN
James H. Wright - Louisville KY
Jay S. Merriam - La Grange KY
Assignee:
United Catalysts Inc. - Louisville KY
International Classification:
B01J 2104
B01J 2374
B01J 3502
US Classification:
252466J
Abstract:
An improved catalyst and an improved process for use of the catalyst in the steam-hydrocarbon reforming reaction is disclosed. The catalyst comprises a group VIII metal on a cylindrical ceramic support consisting essentially of alpha alumina and having a plurality of gas passages extending axially therethrough. These supported catalysts display a higher geometric surface area and a lower pressure drop than do standard rings.
