Membrane Separation For Sulfur Reduction

View page
US Patent:
6554993, Apr 29, 2003
Filed:
Feb 16, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/784898
Inventors:
Lloyd Steven White - Columbia MD
Richard Franklin Wormsbecher - Dayton MD
Markus Lesemann - Baltimore MD
Assignee:
W.R. Grace Co.-Conn. - Columbia MD
International Classification:
C10G 3100
US Classification:
208208R, 208211, 585818, 210649
Abstract:
A membrane process for the removal of sulfur species from a naphtha feed, in particular, a FCC light cat naphtha, without a substantial loss of olefin yield is disclosed. The process involves contacting a naphtha feed stream with a membrane having sufficient flux and selectivity to separate a sulfur deficient retentate fraction from a sulfur enriched permeate fraction, preferably, under pervaporation conditions. Sulfur deficient retentate fractions are useful directly into the gasoline pool. Sulfur-enriched permeate fractions are rich in sulfur containing aromatic and nonaromatic hydrocarbons and are further treated with conventional sulfur removal technologies, e. g. hydrotreating, to reduce sulfur content. The process of the invention provides high quality naphtha products having a reduced sulfur content and a high content of olefin compounds.

Process For Sulfur Removal From Hydrocarbon Liquids

US Patent:
6558533, May 6, 2003
Filed:
Apr 13, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/833602
Inventors:
Stephen Raymond Schmidt - Silver Spring MD
Richard Franklin Wormsbecher - Dayton MD
Robert Hibbard Harding - Mainz, DE
Assignee:
W.R. Grace Co.-Conn - Columbia MD
International Classification:
C10G 2900
US Classification:
208244, 208208 R, 585274, 585276, 585900, 585904, 502 25, 502 28, 502 33, 502517
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of desulfurization of a sulfur laden hydrocarbon liquids that comprises contacting the liquid with a sponge nickel metal alloy, removing the sulfur free liquid, regeneration of the alloy by contact with an aqueous solution of an oxidant and reusing the alloy for further desulfurization of additional sulfur laden liquid.

6635168, Oct 21, 2003
Filed:
Apr 13, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/833601
Inventors:
Xinjin Zhao - Woodbine MD
Wu-Cheng Cheng - Ellicott City MD
John Allen Rudesill - Columbia MD
Richard Franklin Wormsbecher - Dayton MD
Pilip Stephen Deitz - Baltimore MD
Assignee:
W. R. Grace Co.-Conn - Columbia MD
International Classification:
C10G 1105
US Classification:
20812001, 208113, 20812005, 2081201, 20812015, 2081202, 20812025, 20812035, 502 61, 502 64, 502 65, 502 66, 502 79, 502300
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to certain catalyst compositions and processes that are capable of reducing sulfur compounds normally found as part of the gasoline fraction streams of fluid catalytic cracking processes. The present invention requires an equilibrium cracking catalyst composition comprises at least one Y-type zeolite having kinetic conversion activity of at least about 3 in combination with a Lewis acid containing alumina composite present in at least 50 weight percent of the composition. The resultant equilibrium catalyst composition has a kinetic conversion activity of at least about 2.

Solid Compositions For Selective Adsorption From Complex Mixtures

US Patent:
6802966, Oct 12, 2004
Filed:
Aug 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/929621
Inventors:
Richard Franklin Wormsbecher - Dayton MD
Assignee:
W. R. Grace Co. Conn. - Columbia MD
International Classification:
B01D 1508
US Classification:
2101982, 210635, 210656, 2105021, 502401
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solid and method useful in separating chemical components in a complex mixture when at least one of the chemical components of the mixture is capable of being selectively adsorbed. The solid of the present invention comprises an inorganic substance and moieties (R ) located on at least one surface of the inorganic substance, wherein said inorganic substance is an inorganic oxide and the surface moiety is selected from the group consisting of âCH OH, âCH(OH) , âCH(OH)CH , âCH CH OH, âC(OH) CH , âCH CH(OH) and âCH(OH)CH (OH). Binding moiety, optionally attached to the inorganic substance via a linker, can also be located on the surface of the solid.

Supported Catalyst Systems

View page
US Patent:
6987079, Jan 17, 2006
Filed:
Feb 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/357115
Inventors:
Richard Franklin Wormsbecher - Dayton MD, US
Assignee:
W.R. Grace & Co.-Conn. - Columbia MD
International Classification:
B01J 31/00
US Classification:
502172, 502150, 423659, 2101982, 2105021
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a supported catalyst system. The supported catalyst of the present invention comprises an inorganic support having attached to at least one surface thereof non-acidic, hydrophillic, hydroxyl-containing organic Rgroups having no or substantially no surface charge in solution, and at least one linker capable of binding a catalytic species, e. g. an enzyme or an organometallic molecule, wherein the linker is attached to a catalytic species. The Rgroups preferably are selected from the group consisting of —CHOH, —CH(OH), —CH(OH)CH, —CHCHOH, —CH(OH)CH, —CHCH(OH), —CH(OH)CH(OH) and mixtures thereof. The presence of the Rgroups on the support surface prevents or reduces non-specific binding of the catalytic species with the support surface by minimizing hydrophobic interactions and providing no or substantially no surface charge in the region of the support having catalytic species attached thereto. Simultaneously, the linker binds the catalytic species to the surface of the support in a manner which permits the catalytic species to be freely available for catalytic activity. Methods of catalyzing a reaction using the supported catalyst system of the invention are also disclosed.
