Title: Andrei Aleksandrovich Karmanovskii: Innovator in Hydrocarbon Isomerization
Introduction
Andrei Aleksandrovich Karmanovskii is a notable inventor based in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. He has made significant contributions to the field of hydrocarbon processing, particularly in the area of isomerization catalysts. With a total of 2 patents to his name, Karmanovskii's work is recognized for its innovative approaches to improving catalyst production and hydrocarbon separation processes.
Latest Patents
Karmanovskii's latest patents include a method for catalyst production for C5-C12 paraffins isomerization. This invention relates to a process for producing an isomerization catalyst that contains a base of zirconia, a binder based on alumina and/or silica, and at least one component of Group VI of the periodic table in the form of their oxyanions. The catalyst also includes a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component loaded on the base, at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Sn, Re, or mixtures thereof, and a peptization agent, which is an organic acid and polymers that enhance the physicochemical properties of the isomerization catalyst.
Another significant patent is for an integrated stabilizer in a deisobutanizer for the isomerization of hydrocarbons and product separation. This method involves a deisobutanizer column that receives a feed comprising n-butane. The column delivers its bottoms to a reboiler and routes another portion along with hydrogen to an isomerization reactor. The reactor effluent is returned to the column, where a stabilizer integrated with the column separates the reactor effluent into product streams, including an iso-butane product stream, a n-butane product stream, and a lighter hydrocarbon product stream.
