Title: Innovations by Mariana Torrealba
Introduction
Mariana Torrealba is a prominent inventor based in Caracas, Venezuela. She has made significant contributions to the field of catalysis, particularly in the treatment of contaminated hydrocarbon feedstock. With a total of 2 patents to her name, her work is recognized for its innovative approaches to environmental challenges.
Latest Patents
Her latest patents focus on a catalyst system designed for the hydroisomerization of sulfur and nitrogen contaminated hydrocarbon feedstock. This catalyst system includes a matrix and at least one support medium that is uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. The support medium comprises a silica alumina molecular sieve material with a silica/alumina ratio of at least about 20. The first catalytically active metal phase supported on the medium includes two different metals selected from group VIII of the Periodic Table. Additionally, a second catalytically active metal phase is supported on the matrix, which includes two more metals from group VIII and a fifth metal from group VIb. This innovative catalyst system is notable for its higher ratio of silica to alumina, allowing for reduced amounts of active metals while maintaining excellent hydroisomerization, HDS, and HDN properties.
