  • Publication number: 20240141239
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves application of heterogeneous hydrogen donors (DHH) or solid hydrogen transfer agents (SHTA) prepared from a polymer with units containing the structure of naphthalene, phenanthrene or anthracene, which can be supported, anchored or in physical mixture with metal oxides such as alumina, silica, titania or kaolin and/or mixture of them, to be used in beds combined with an ULSD or non-ULSD HDS catalyst, to obtain ultra-low sulfur diesel in cuts and/or streams derived from petroleum and/or a mixture thereof, such as SRGO, kerosine, jet fuel, naphtha, etc. The SHTA of the present disclosure provide an additional amount of hydrogen atoms facilitating the removal of refractory sulfur compounds in the HDS process.

  • Patent number: 10793784
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the process for preparing improved solid hydrogen transfer agents obtained from a polymer with units containing the structure of naphthalene, phenanthrene or anthracene, which exhibit activity as hydrogen transfer agents in any chemical reduction reaction involving the breaking of double bonds and in treatment, hydrotreatment and hydrodisintegration reactions of heavy and extra-heavy crude oils and of cuts and currents derived therefrom. These improved solid hydrogen transfer agents can be supported and not supported on metal oxides such as boehmite, alumina, silica, titania, kaolin and/or mixture thereof, in the presence of reducing agents such as hydrogen, methane, or natural gas.

  • Patent number: 10077334
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the application of solid polymers or copolymers prepared from monomers having in their structure a polycyclic aromatic ring, an aromatic ring of the type of naphthalene, or polyesters, polyethers, polyamides or polyvynil derivatives having naphthalene units in their structure, in the hydrotreatment or hydrocracking of heavy hydrocarbons, such as heavy or extra-heavy crude oils or residues from the distillation of petroleum; these polymers or copolymers may be supported, anchored or in a physical mixture with metallic oxides such as alumina, silica, titania or kaolin, and they have an application as heterogeneous hydrogen donors in reactions of hydrotreatment or hydrocracking of heavy or extra-heavy crude oils, residues from the distillation of petroleum and cuts and streams deived from this distillation. These solid polymers or copolymers operate in the presence of hydrogen or methane-rich gas.

  • Patent number: 9862658
    Abstract: The present disclosure covers the use of polymers or copolymers having a naphthalene-type unit in their structure as heterogeneous hydrogen transfer agents for hydrogenation, hydrotreatment or reduction reactions. These heterogeneous hydrogen transfer agents may or may not be supported on metallic oxides and may be used in the presence of reducing agents such as hydrogen or methane. These hydrogen donors, being solid at the reaction temperature, may be recovered from the reaction mixture and reused, and are thermally and chemically stable at temperatures up to above 450° C.
