Publication number: 20160145503Abstract: Methods are provided for hydrotreating a feed to generate a product with a reduced or minimized aromatics content and/or an increased distillate product yield. A distillate boiling range feed having an elevated content of sulfur and/or nitrogen can be hydrotreated using at least two hydrotreating stages with intermediate separation to produce a hydrotreated distillate boiling range product with a reduced or minimized aromatics content. Additionally or alternately, a mixed metal catalyst formed from a suitable precursor can be used during the hydrotreating. A mixed metal catalyst formed from a suitable precursor can provide an unexpectedly superior activity for aromatic saturation. A still further unexpected benefit can be achieved by combining a multi-stage hydrotreating process with intermediate separation with hydrotreating in the presence of a mixed metal catalyst formed from a suitable precursor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2015Publication date: May 26, 2016Applicant: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Xiaochun XU, Keith WILSON, Stuart Leon SOLED, Sabato MISEO, Doron LEVIN, Joseph Ernest BAUMGARTNER

Patent number: 8143438Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for hydrogenating one or more organic compounds especially unsaturated organic compounds by bringing the compound into contact with a hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst, which comprises one or more catalytically active metals applied to a porous catalyst support. The one or more catalytically active metals having been derived via a decomposed organic complex of the metal on the support, in particular amine complexes of the metal. The decomposed complex may be treated with hydrogen to activate the catalyst before use as a hydrogenation catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Stuart Leon Soled, Andrzej Malek, James Clarke Vartuli, Jennifer Schaefer Feeley, Sabato Miseo, Shifang Luo, Richard Henry Schlosberg, Joseph Ernest Baumgartner, Christine E.

Patent number: 7718564Abstract: The present invention is related to a hydrocarbon oxidation process. The process comprises bringing one or more hydrocarbons into contact with a source of oxygen in the presence of a radical initiator and a catalyst. The catalyst comprises an organic metal complex located on a catalyst support, and is obtained by partial decomposition of the organic metal complex. For example, the process can be used to produce dimethyl carbonate from dimethoxy methane. The invention is also related to a partially decomposed catalyst that comprises a silica support and an organic metal complex, wherein at least 5% of the organic compound remains in the catalyst. The organic metal complex comprises an organic compound and a metal-based compound wherein the metal is selected from copper, nickel, and combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2006Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Jihad Mohammed Dakka, Sabato Miseo, Stuart Leon Soled, Jose Guadalupe Santiesteban, Joseph Ernest Baumgartner, Michiel Christian Alexander Van Vliet, Roger Arthur Sheldon

Patent number: 7585808Abstract: The present invention is directed to processes for preparing supported metal catalysts comprising one or more catalytically active metals applied to a porous catalyst support and to processes that use such catalysts. The process requires the formation of an organic complex during the manufacture of the catalyst which after its formation is either partially or fully decomposed before reduction if the metal to form the catalyst. The catalysts have high levels of metal dispersion and uniform distribution of catalytically active metals on the support. The catalysts obtained form the processes are particularly effective in catalysing Fischer-Tropsch reactions and as adsorbants for the removal or organosulfur compounds from hydrocarbons.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Andrzel Malek, James Clarke Vartuli, Stuart Leon Soled, Sabato Miseo, Jennifer Schaefer Feeley, Gary L.

Patent number: 6900151Abstract: An in situ process for conducting regeneration of spent hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst. Regenerated, but not yet re-activated, catalyst (15) may be introduced into an operating HCS reactor (1) that has catalyst rejuvenation means (14). Any combination of a fresh, activated catalyst, a fresh, passivated catalyst or short-term or long-term deactivated catalysts may already be present in the HCS reactor (1). The regenerated, but not yet re-activated catalyst is activated in the HCS reactor (1) with rejuvenation means (14) at normal process conditions. The HCS reactor (1) receives syngas through the inlet line (3) and releases liquid hydrocarbons through outlet line (4) and gaseous hydrocarbon and unreacted syngas through the offgas line (2). Catalyst is removed from the HCS reactor (1) through the slipstream line (5) and into a filtration unit (6) which is fed with a stripping fluid (7). The filtered catalyst proceeds to the regeneration unit (9) which is fed a regenerative fluid (10).Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2001Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Stuart Leon Soled, Joseph Ernest Baumgartner, Gabor Kiss
