  • Processes and systems for using silica particles in fluid bed reactor
    Patent number: 11680038
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fluid bed processes that utilize silica particles as a fluidization aid. The process comprises reacting one or more reactants in a reactor comprising a fluid bed to form a product. The fluid bed comprises a catalyst composition comprising a catalyst and an inert additive composition comprising silica particles from 0.5 wt % to 30 wt %, based on the total weight of the catalyst composition. The silica particles are discrete, inert particles that are mixed with the catalyst in the fluid bed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 2021
    Date of Patent: June 20, 2023
    Assignee: Ascend Performance Materials Operations LLC
    Inventors: Yawu T. Chi, James Sutton, Ali Akhavan, Celia L. Kniepmann, Matthew D. Cox, Valerie S. Monical
