  • APPARATUS AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCTION OF COAL DERIVED OIL PRODUCTS
    Publication number: 20130032511
    Abstract: Apparatus and processes for production of coal derived oils from a mixture of pulverized coal and a coal solvent in predetermined proportions, which when agitated produces a substantially ash-free coal slurry liquid. Subsequently the coal slurry liquid is heat treated in a fractionator to produce predetermined products, and a portion of the resultant coal solvent is recovered and recycled to produce coal derived oils.

  • Process for improving the physical and catalytic properties of a fluid cracking catalyst
    Patent number: 5739072
    Abstract: A process for significantly improving the physical and catalytic properties of fluid cracking catalysts (FCC) is disclosed. The invention is a process for manufacturing a fluid cracking catalyst. The process includes adding an effective amount of an acid stable surfactant or an alkaline stable surfactant to a slurry of clay particles and sodium silicate particles. The process then includes forming a sol binder and spray drying the particles. Forming of the dried particles into a catalyst product then occurs.
