  • Patent number: 5330563
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for recovering a volatile organic compound at a recovery of 90 to 96% by volume from a gas generated from gasoline, kerosine, benzene, and alcohol discharged from storage tanks, tank trucks, and tank lorries. In the process comprising absorption stages followed by desorption stages for the volatile organic compound, the pressure at the desorption stages is controlled within the area below, for instance, curves C' and B in FIG. 1 of the drawings according to the concentration of the volatile organic compound in the gas to be fed to a first absorption stage.

  • Patent number: 5284717
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing raw materials for a reformer by cracking and desulfurizing petroleum fuels, characterized by cracking and desulfurizing petroleum fuels in a desulfurizer in the fuel cell electricity generation process at a temperature of 300.degree.-600.degree. C., preferably 350.degree.-500.degree. C., a pressure of 1-10 kg/cm.sup.2, an H.sub.2 /oil of 500-2000, preferably 800-1000, and an SV of 0.5-4 hr.sup.-1 using a zeolite catalyst such as Y-type zeolite or a metallosilicate catalyst such as one having an Si/Me atomic ratio of 40-3200 where Me is Al, Ni, Co, Mo, W, Fe, Cr or Ga.

  • Patent number: 4102983
    Abstract: By contacting a gas which contains vapors of volatile organic materials with an absorption liquid comprising a refined mineral oil and one or more compounds selected out of the group consisting of phthalic esters, silicic esters, phosphoric esters, carboxylic esters, alkyl benzenes, alkyl naphthalenes, and .alpha.-olefin oligomers, the volatile organic materials can be readily absorbed into the absorption liquid and thereafter effectively separated and recovered from the absorption liquid.
