  • Patent number: 11992826
    Abstract: A process for rejuvenating an at least partially spent catalyst resulting from a hydrodesulfurization process of a sulfur-containing olefinic gasoline cut, where the at least partially spent catalyst result is from a fresh catalyst a metal from group VIII, a metal from group VIb, and an oxide support, where the process includes a) regenerating the at least partially spent catalyst in an oxygen-containing gas stream at a temperature between 350° C. and 550° C., b) the regenerated catalyst is brought into contact with an impregnation solution containing a compound containing a metal from group VIb, the molar ratio of the metal from group VIb added per metal from group VIb already present in the regenerated catalyst being between 0.15 and 2.5 mol/mol, c) a drying stage is carried out at a temperature of less than 200° C., and the use of the rejuvenated catalyst in a hydrodesulfurization process.

  • Patent number: 11918982
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the rejuvenation of an at least partially spent catalyst resulting from a hydrotreating process, said at least partially spent catalyst resulting from a fresh catalyst comprising a metal from group VIII, a metal from group VIb, an oxide support, and optionally phosphorus, said at least partially spent catalyst additionally comprising carbon in a content of between 2% and 20% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the at least partially spent catalyst, and sulfur in a content of between 1% and 8% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the at least partially spent catalyst, said process comprising the following stages: a) said spent catalyst is brought into contact with an impregnation solution containing a compound comprising a metal from group VIb, b) a drying stage is carried out at a temperature of less than 200° C.

  • Patent number: 4645381
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a building material and to its application in particular for embankments, surfacings, or mass foundation over loose ground.Said material comprises at least one flexible continuous element distributed tri-dimensionally in random manner in a mass of solid particles (such as sand) so as to contribute to creating a certain cohesion between the different parts of the mass of particles by entwining these parts.The invention finds an application in the production of road surfacings or as foundation mass over a loose ground.
