Publication number: 20100166628Abstract: In exhaust gas purification units for decreasing nitrogen oxides in lean-burn exhaust gas of internal combustion engines by selective catalytic reduction by means of ammonia, introduction of excess ammonia leads to undesirable emissions of unused ammonia. These emissions can be decreased by means of ammonia barrier catalysts. In the ideal case, ammonia is oxidized to nitrogen and water by these catalysts. These require additional space in the exhaust gas purification unit which may have to be taken away from the space provided for the SCR main catalyst. In addition, the use of such ammonia barrier catalysts can result in overoxidation of the ammonia to nitrogen oxides. To overcome these disadvantages, a catalyst containing two superposed layers is proposed for the removal of nitrogen-containing pollutant gases from diesel exhaust gas. The lower layer contains an oxidation catalyst and the upper layer can store at least 20 milliliters of ammonia per gram of catalyst material.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2007Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: Nicola Soeger, Wolfgang Schneider, Yvonne Demel, Lothar Mussmann, Ralf Sesselmann, Thomas Kreuzer

Patent number: 7700816Abstract: An oxygenate conversion catalyst useful in the conversion of oxygenates such as methanol to olefinic products may be improved by the use of a catalyst combination based on a molecular sieve in combination with a co-catalyst comprising a mixed metal oxide composition which has oxidation/reduction functionality under the conditions of the conversion. This metal oxide co-catalyst component will comprise a mixed oxide of one or more, preferably at least two, transition metals, usually of Series 4, 5 or 6 of the Periodic Table, with the metals of Series 4 being preferred, as an essential component of the mixed oxide composition. The preferred transition metals are those of Groups 5, especially titanium and vanadium, Group 6, especially chromium or molybdenum, Group 7, especially manganese and Group 8, especially cobalt or nickel. Other metal oxides may also be present.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2006Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Teng Xu, Tan-Jen Chen, Neeraj Sangar, John Di Yi Ou

Publication number: 20100084311Abstract: This invention is directed to hydrodemetallization catalysts and hydrodemetallization processes employing a magnesium aluminosilicate clay. The magnesium aluminosilicate clay has a characteristic 29Si NMR spectrum. The magnesium aluminosilicate clay is the product of a series of specific reaction steps. Briefly, the magnesium aluminosilicate clay employed in the catalyst and process of the invention is made by combining a silicon component, an aluminum component, and a magnesium component, under aqueous conditions and at an acidic pH, to form a first reaction mixture and subsequently the pH of the first reaction mixture is adjusted to greater than about 7.5 to form a second reaction mixture. The second reaction mixture is allowed to react under conditions sufficient to form the magnesium aluminosilicate clay. The resulting magnesium aluminosilicate clay combines high surface area and activity for use in hydrodemetallization catalysts and processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2008Publication date: April 8, 2010Inventors: Christopher J.

Patent number: 7691769Abstract: A Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst was prepared by slurry coating ZSM-5 zeolite onto a cordierite monolith, then subliming an iron salt onto the zeolite, calcining the monolith, and then dipping the monolith either into an aqueous solution of manganese nitrate and cerium nitrate and then calcining, or by similar treatment with separate solutions of manganese nitrate and cerium nitrate. The supported catalyst containing iron, manganese, and cerium showed 80 percent conversion at 113 degrees Celsius of a feed gas containing nitrogen oxides having 4 parts NO to one part NO2, about one equivalent ammonia, and excess oxygen; conversion improved to 94 percent at 147 degrees Celsius. N2O was not detected (detection limit: 0.6 percent N2O).Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2008Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Los Alamos National Security, LLCInventor: Kevin C. Ott

Publication number: 20100081567Abstract: A process for the sulfidation of a sour gas shift catalyst, wherein the temperature of the sulfidation feed stream is coordinated with the sulfur/hydrogen molar ratio in that feed stream to obtain enhanced performance of the sour gas shift catalyst. In the sulfidation process to produce a sour gas shift catalyst, the lower the sulfur to hydrogen molar ratio of the sulfidation feed stream, the lower the required temperature of the sulfidation feed stream. The sulfidation reaction can be further enhanced by increasing the pressure on the sulfidation feed stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2009Publication date: April 1, 2010Applicant: SUD-CHEMIE INC.Inventors: Justin X.

Publication number: 20100081566Abstract: Multimetallic anionic clays (MACs) are prepared using economical raw materials or reactants and a procedure for obtaining a series of multimetallic mixed oxides derived from the thermal decomposition of the MACs which comprises: (1) dissolving water-soluble bimetallic and/or trimetallic sources in water, (2) dispersing and homogenizing separate water-insoluble divalent and/or trivalent metal precursors with a high-speed stirrer in order to obtain small and reactive particles; depending on the nature of the water-insoluble divalent and/or trivalent metal precursors, this process can be adjusted to a desired pH, (3) adding the suspension obtained in (2) to solution (1) with the reaction medium still dispersed to facilitate solid particle's reduction/dissociation, and (4) afterwards the slurry is aged for several hours and finally dried. This process enables raw materials or reactants to be easily handled, and eliminates unit operations involving product washing and/or purification steps.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2009Publication date: April 1, 2010Applicant: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL PETROLEOInventors: Jaime Sanchez-Valente, Esteban Lopez-Salinas, Manuel Sanchez-Cantu
