Abstract: The present subject matter relates to the development of active catalyst composite based on supported transition metal oxides, especially, Cu, Co that are effective in the removal sulfides in the diluted spent caustic. The process for the reduction of sulfides in spent caustic comprises of reacting various organic and inorganic sulfides with molecular oxygen in the presence of active catalyst at various reaction temperatures ranging ambient to 200° C. and pressures between atmospheric pressure to 60 bars. The process also relates to complete scheme for the removal of sulfides in spent caustic.

Abstract: Accordingly, the present invention provides a catalyst composition suitable for converting light naphtha comprising one or more of C5 to C8 carbon atoms to aromatic compounds ranging from C6 to C10 carbon atoms, said catalyst composition comprising: (a) a medium pore size zeolite; (b) 0.1 to 5.0 wt % of zinc; and (c) 0.1 to 5 wt % of gallium. Also, the present invention provides a process for converting light naphtha comprising one or more of C5 to C8 carbon atoms to aromatic compounds ranging from C6 to C10 carbon atoms, said process comprising the step of contacting a feedstock comprising the light naphtha with a catalyst composition comprising (a) a medium pore size zeolite; (b) 0.1 to 5.0 wt % of zinc; and (c) 0.1 to 5 wt % of gallium in presence of carrier gas at temperatures ranging from 400° to 600° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrocarbon fuel composition comprising (i) at least 99% by weight of a base gas; and (ii) additives comprising (a) 2 to 50 ppm organometallic compound; and (b) 100 to 5000 ppm aniline or substituted aniline and 100 to 5000 ppm toluidine. The present invention discloses addition of an additive or additive mixture to base fuel preferably, liquefied petroleum gas. The addition of additive mixture not only improves the properties of the base fuel for use as torch gas for cutting and welding application, but also reduces the consumption of both fuel and oxygen for cutting applications.
