Title: Innovations of Jagdish Kumar in Hydrocarbon Production
Introduction
Jagdish Kumar is a notable inventor based in Dehradun, India. He has made significant contributions to the field of hydrocarbon production, holding a total of 4 patents. His work primarily focuses on the conversion of used cooking oil and other hydrocarbons into valuable petrochemical products.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a catalytic process for the production of aromatic hydrocarbons from used cooking oil. This invention relates to a method for converting used cooking oil into aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) that serve as petrochemical building blocks. The process can yield an aromatic-rich hydrocarbon in both the presence and absence of steam or hydrogen, utilizing supported bimetallic alumina-silicates zeolites. Notably, the catalyst used in this process does not contain precious metal entities and may include zinc (Zn) and other metals such as cobalt (Co), gallium (Ga), chromium (Cr), and iron (Fe). The invention emphasizes a low-temperature process that achieves a conversion rate of 84-89% with an aromatic selectivity of 87-91%.
Another significant patent by Jagdish Kumar is a single-step catalytic process for converting n-paraffins and naphtha into diesel range hydrocarbons. This innovation features a bi-metallic Pt–Sn/ZSM-5 catalyst, which allows for the direct conversion of n-heptane and naphtha into diesel range hydrocarbons in a streamlined process.
