Patent number: 10046967Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the production of hydrogen from a H2S-containing gas stream also containing ammonia, comprising subjecting both gas stream to catalytic oxidative cracking of both the H2S and the NH3, so as to form H2, S2 and N2. In this method, preferably, an additional amount of oxygen is added as compared to the amount used for H2S catalytic oxidative cracking. Also, preferably, the contact time of the gas stream with the catalyst is increased. The catalyst preferably is provided as a single bed, and then preferably comprises iron and molybdenum supported by a carrier comprising aluminum. The preferred carrier is alumina. The iron and molybdenum preferably are in the form of sulfides.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2013Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: STAMICARBON B.V.

Publication number: 20110123423Abstract: The invention relates to the realization of synthesis of organic compounds or abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in gas-solid fluidised bed photocatalytic reactor with improved illumination efficiency. The photoreactor consists of a two-dimensional fluidized bed catalytic reactor with two walls transparent to ultraviolet radiation, by an illumination system bases on a matrix of LEDs positioned near its external walls, and heated for Joule effect inside the catalytic bed to monitor the reaction temperature. Surprisingly, through the choice of a suitable catalyst and fluidized bed photoreactor operating conditions both total and partial oxidation reactions can be achieved with high activity and selectivity. Even more surprisingly, the value of the illuminated catalyst surface area per unit irradiated volume reaches values in the order of 106 m?1, significantly higher than those of microreactors, amounting to 250,000 m?1 and slurry reactors with values in 8500-170000 m?1.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Inventors: Paolo Ciambelli, Diana Sannino, Vincenzo Palma, Vincenzo Vaiano
