Chlorite-like phyllosilicate materials are found useful as SOsorbents. A novel process of sulfur oxide sorption is provided utilizing these layered materials as contact solids. Typical industrial applications include sulfur removal from fluid catalyst cracking process, cold-side combustion gas sulfur abatement and cleaner coal gasification.

Sulfur oxide sorption with layered chlorite-type contact solids

Hydrotalcite-like contact materials are stable in the crystalline oxide structure and essentially reversible in anion exchange. Large crystalline sheet materials having increased sorption of SO.sub.X are provided by incorporation of certain organic acid anionic species to modify the hydrotalcite/brucite structure. Typical industrial applications include sulfur removal from fluid catalyst cracking process, cold-side combustion gas sulfur abatement and cleaner coal gasification.

Hydrotalcite sulfer oxide sorption

A process for significantly improving the physical properties of formed particles is disclosed. The process includes adding an effective amount of an acid stable surfactant or an alkaline stable surfactant to a component of the material before drying the particles. The preferred particles are microspheroidal for use in fluid bed reactors, but can include granules and beads.

Process for improving the physical properties of formed particles

The invention is a catalyst and a process for manufacturing a catalyst. The process includes adding an effective amount of an acid stable surfactant or an alkaline stable surfactant to a slurry of particles including an active mineral component. Desirable active mineral components include natural or synthetic zeolites and specialty clays such as chlorite clays and other non-kaolin clays for use in catalysts.

Cracking catalyst and process for preparing same

A catalyst composition for a catalyst that reduces the emissions of sulfur compounds from industrial processes is disclosed. This catalyst is a spheroidal particle comprised of a mixture of inorganic oxides with an inorganic binder, an organic binder, or a mixture of these binders. The preferred embodiment is a particle containing zinc titanate. Also disclosed is the catalysts application in both fluid bed and ebullating bed processes such as petroleum refinery fluid catalytic cracking units and utility company coal gasification units. Additionally there is disclosed processes for preparing this catalyst using spray drying techniques and beading and tumbling techniques.
