  • Patent number: 12264353
    Abstract: A method for cyclic biochemical conversion of carbon dioxide and hot gas cogeneration in depleted oil and gas reservoirs includes: S1: selecting a target depleted oil and gas reservoir; S2: adjusting a temperature of the target depleted oil and gas reservoir to 30° C. to 70° C. and detecting whether formation water of the target depleted oil and gas reservoir contains methanogenic archaea, in which if no methanogenic archaeon is contained, then methanogenic archaea is injected and step S3 is proceeded, and if methanogenic archaea are contained, then step S3 is proceeded directly; S3: injecting a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen into the target depleted oil and gas reservoir through a gas injection well; and S4: shutting down the gas injection well to wait for the methanogenic archaea to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methane and exploiting the methane and heat energy in the target depleted oil and gas reservoir.

  • Patent number: 6388159
    Abstract: A process for isomerising xylene using a new family of related crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites has been developed. These zeolites are represented by the empirical formula: Mmn+Rrp+Al(1−x)ExSiyOz where M is an alkali or alkaline earth metal such as lithium and strontium, R is a nitrogen containing organic cation such as tetramethyl-ammonium and E is a framework element such as gallium.

  • Patent number: 6358400
    Abstract: A reforming process, selective for the dehydrocyclization of paraffins to aromatics, is effected using a large-pore molecular-sieve catalyst containing a uniformly distributed platinum-group metal component, and a tin component incorporated into the large-pore molecular sieve by secondary synthesis. The use of this catalyst results in greater selectivity of conversion of paraffins to aromatics and in improved catalyst stability.

  • Patent number: 6280608
    Abstract: This invention relates to a layered catalyst composition, a process for preparing the composition and processes for using the composition. The catalyst composition comprises an inner core such as alpha-alumina, and an outer layer bonded to the inner core composed of an outer refractory inorganic oxide such as gamma-alumina. The outer layer has uniformly dispersed thereon a platinum group metal such as platinum and a promoter metal such as tin. The composition also contains a modifier metal such as lithium. The catalyst composition shows improved durability and selectivity for dehydrogenating hydrocarbons.
