The invention relates to potassium-promoted, Fe(FeyAli-y)24 [0.3&#x3c;&#x2264;0.7] silica-containing extrudates, processes for the preparation of the extrudates with the aid of colloidal silica, and the use of the extrudates to catalyze processes for producing liquid hydrocarbons.

Catalyst composition and catalytic processes for producing liquid hydrocarbons

The invention provides a process for preparing SAPO-11, that comprises combining in an aqueous solution alumina source, P 2 O source and a silica source in the presence of a crystallization template and a surfactant to form a gel, which is then subjected to hydrothermal crystallization and calcination. The so-formed SAPO-11, which possesses unique silicon distribution, high resistance to hydrothermal degradation (desilication) and high surface area, forms another aspect of the invention. Hydroprocessing of a vegetable oil in the presence of a catalyst comprising the Pt and SAPO-11 of the invention is also demonstrated.

Catalysts based on silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-11 and uses thereof

The invention relates to a catalyst suitable for use in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide-containing gas, said catalyst comprising spinel phase of the formula [Fe(FeAl)O]. Processes for preparing the catalyst and processes for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide-containing gas in the presence of the catalyst are also disclosed.

Catalyst and a process for catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide-containing gas and hydrogen streams to hydrocarbons

A process which comprises providing a porous matrix, mixing said porous matrix with a precursor solution containing manganese and cerium ions dissolved therein, triggering the formation of a non-fluid phase which contains manganese and cerium in the interior of said porous matrix, separating said porous matrix from a liquid phase containing soluble metals, completing the formation of said non-fluid phase which contains manganese and cerium in the interior of said porous matrix, heat treating said porous matrix to convert said non-fluid phase containing manganese and cerium placed therein into a manganese oxide-cerium oxide composite, and isolating said composite from said porous matrix. The resulting composite, and its use as a catalyst, are also provided.

Manganese oxide-cerium oxide composite

Novel adsorbents and their use in a process for the removal of sulfur compounds from distillate fuels are described herein. The novel adsorbents are comprised of nanocrystals of Ni having adsorbed on their surface phosphorus and/or phosphine species, which nanocrystals can be distributed in a micro-/meso-porous support material.

Adsorbent for ultradeep removal of sulfur compounds from distillate fuels

The present invention provides a high capacity adsorbent for removing sulfur from hydrocarbon streams. The adsorbent comprises a composite material containing particles of a nickel phosphide complex NiP. The adsorbent is utilized in a sulfur removal process that does not require added hydrogen, and run at relatively low temperatures ranging from about 150&#xb0; C. to about 400&#xb0; C. The process of this invention enables 'ultra-deep' desulfurization down to levels of about 1 ppm and less.

Process for adsorption of sulfur compounds from hydrocarbon streams

A process for producing a fuel composition from vegetable and/or animal oil comprises hydrodeoxygenating and hydroisomerizing the oil in a single step. The fuel composition has acceptable lubricity and comprises a mixture of Cto Cparaffins having a ratio of iso to normal paraffins of 2 to 8 and less than 5 ppm sulfur.

Production of diesel fuel from vegetable and animal oils

The present invention is an adsorbent for removing sulfur from hydrocarbon streams. The adsorbent includes nickel particles distributed in a phase containing silica and alumina.
