  • Desulfurization with octane enhancement
    Patent number: 7452846
    Abstract: A desulfurization system employing a system of fluidizable and circulatable solid particles to desulfurize a hydrocarbon-containing fluid in a fluidized bed reactor. The solid particulate system includes solid sorbent particles operable to remove sulfur from the hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream and solid catalyst particles operable to enhance the octane of the resulting desulfurized hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream. The solid particulate system can be circulated between a reactor, regenerator, and reducer, to thereby allow for substantially continuous desulfurization in the reactor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 18, 2008
    Assignee: China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation
    Inventors: Edward L. Sughure, II, Bobby G. Cockrell, Glenn W. Dodwell, Brent J. Bertus

  • Desulfurization and novel sorbent for the same
    Publication number: 20030232723
    Abstract: The attrition resistance of sorbent compositions are enhanced by controlling the pH of the support mixture containing the initial ingredients of the sorbent support. Desulfurization of a sulfur-containing fluid, such as cracked gasoline or diesel fuel, is enhanced by employing a co-feed gas comprising from about 80 to about 97 volume percent hydrogen.
