The resulting magnesium aluminosilicate clay combines high surface area and activity for use in hydrodemetallization catalysts and processes.

  • Publication number: 20130210613
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel additive composition for reducing sulfur content of a catalytically cracked gasoline fraction. This additive composition comprises a support consisting of porous clay into which a first metal from group IVB is incorporated and a second metal from group IIB is impregnated. Preferably, the first incorporated metal is zirconium and the second impregnated metal is zinc. The sulfur reduction additive is used in the form of a separate particle in combination with a conventional cracking catalyst in a fluidized catalytic cracking process to convert hydrocarbon feed stocks into gasoline having comparatively lower sulfur content and other liquid products.

  • Patent number: 8420561
    Abstract: Herein is disclosed a flue gas scrubbing composition, a method of using the flue gas scrubbing composition, and a method of entombing mercury collected with the flue gas scrubbing composition. The flue gas scrubbing composition includes an admixture of a mercury sorbent material that comprises a clay, copper, and sulfur; and lime that comprises calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide. The method of collecting mercury from a flue gas includes injecting the flue gas scrubbing composition of any one of the preceding claims into a flue duct comprising the flue gas; reacting the mercury sorbent material with mercury in the flue gas to form a mercury-sorbed material and thereby reducing the concentration of mercury in the flue gas; reacting the lime with SO2, SO3, and/or HCl in the flue gas to form a calcium sulfate and/or a calcium chloride; and collecting a mixture that includes the mercury-sorbed material.
