Patent number: 9527061Abstract: A process for preparing a catalyst precursor includes forming a slurry of particles of an insoluble metal compound, where the metal of the insoluble metal compound is an active catalyst component, with particles and/or one or more bodies of a pre-shaped catalyst support in a carrier liquid. The particles of the insoluble metal compound are thus contacted with the particles and/or the one or more bodies of the pre-shaped catalyst support. A treated catalyst support is thereby produced. Carrier liquid is removed from the slurry to obtain a dried treated catalyst support, which either directly constitutes the catalyst precursor, or is optionally calcined to obtain the catalyst precursor.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignees: SASOL TECHNOLOGY (PROPRIETARY) LIMITED, BASF NEDERLAND B.V.Inventors: Albertus Jacobus Sandee, Robert Johan Andreas Maria Terorde

Patent number: 6919296Abstract: The invention provides a catalyst, a method for making the catalyst and a method for using the catalyst to promote the selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide into elemental sulfur. The catalyst may be prepared by contacting a catalyst support, such as silica, with a mixed oxide having atomically mixed iron ions and zinc ions, to produce a support material impregnated with a mixed oxide having atomically mixed iron ions and zinc ions in an oxidic lattice. This impregnated catalyst support is then dried and calcined, preferably with chloride ions present, to produce a catalyst of an iron and zinc oxide mixture supported on silica. It has been found that when chloride is added to the impregnated catalyst support prior to calcination and drying, the sintering of the iron and zinc can be controlled more easily and the formation of iron and zinc oxide is promoted.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2001Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Jacobs Nederland B.V.Inventors: John Wilhelm Geus, Robert Johan Andreas Maria Terörde
