Title: Antonio Chica Lara: Innovator in Desulphurization Processes
Introduction
Antonio Chica Lara is a prominent inventor based in Valencia, Spain. He has made significant contributions to the field of hydrocarbon processing, particularly in desulphurization technologies. With a total of eight patents to his name, his work has had a substantial impact on the industry.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a desulphurisation process that involves passing a mixture of hydrocarbon and hydrogen over a hydrodesulphurization catalyst. This process converts organosulphur compounds present in the hydrocarbon to hydrogen sulphide. The resulting mixture is then passed over a hydrogen sulphide sorbent, which includes zinc oxide, to reduce the hydrogen sulphide content. Finally, the hydrogen sulphide-depleted mixture is treated with a further desulphurization material that contains nickel compounds, a zinc oxide support material, and optionally, promoter metal compounds such as iron, cobalt, copper, and precious metals. The desulphurization material has a nickel content ranging from 0.3 to 20% by weight and a promoter metal compound content from 0 to 10% by weight. Additionally, he has developed a process for the preparation of desulphurization materials.
