585357, 585358, 585639, 585640, 502 63, 502 64

Abstract:

A process of modifying a zeolite catalyst to produce a modified zeolite catalyst wherein the modified zeolite catalyst has blocked pore sites. An oxygenated feed is flowed over the modified zeolite catalyst, wherein the oxygenated feed comprises hydrocarbons, methanol and dimethyl ether or a mixture thereof. The hydrocarbons, methanol and dimethyl ether in the oxygenated feed react with the modified zeolite catalyst to produce cyclic hydrocarbons, wherein the cyclic hydrocarbons produced has less than 10% durene and a median carbon number is C8.

International Classification:

C07C 27/00

US Classification:

518715, 518700

Abstract:

Methods and compositions relate to a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst utilized to convert syngas into paraffins. The catalyst includes a given amount of sulfur content from contact of a catalytic supported metal with sulfur. Subsequent activation of the catalyst prepares the catalyst to be used for conversion of the syngas. The sulfur content maintained in the catalyst after being activated influences selectivity to paraffins over olefins and oxygenates.

Assignee:

Clariant Corporation - Louisville KY

International Classification:

C07C 27/00

US Classification:

518700

Abstract:

Improved reaction efficiencies are achieved by the incorporation of enhanced hydrothermally stable catalyst supports in various water-forming hydrogenation reactions or reactions having water-containing feeds. Examples of water-forming hydrogenation reactions that may incorporate the enhanced hydrothermally stable catalyst supports include alcohol synthesis reactions, dehydration reactions, hydrodeoxygenation reactions, methanation reactions, catalytic combustion reaction, hydrocondensation reactions, and sulfur dioxide hydrogenation reactions. Advantages of the methods disclosed herein include an improved resistance of the catalyst support to water poisoning and a consequent lower rate of catalyst attrition and deactivation due to hydrothermal instability. Accordingly, higher efficiencies and yields may be achieved by extension of the enhanced catalyst supports to one or more of the aforementioned reactions.

International Classification:

E21B 43/24

US Classification:

1662723, 166 57

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus relate to recovery of in situ upgraded hydrocarbons by injecting steam and hydrogen into a reservoir containing the hydrocarbons. A mixture output generated as water is vaporized by direct contact with flow from fuel-rich combustion provides the steam and hydrogen. The steam heats the hydrocarbons facilitating flow of the hydrocarbons and reaction of the hydrogen with the hydrocarbons to enable hydroprocessing prior to recovery of the hydrocarbons to surface.

US Classification:

1662723, 166 52, 166 57

Abstract:

A system and method for in situ upgrading of crude oil is provided. The system includes at least one injection well, at least two first production wells, and at least one second production well. The at least one injection well has a vertical portion and a plurality of non-vertical portions connected to the vertical portion. The at least two first production wells are preferably equi-spaced and each has a horizontal portion with a first axial direction, wherein each said horizontal portion of the first production wells is horizontally spaced apart. The at least one second production well has a horizontal portion with a second axial direction. The catalytic reactor is placed at the horizontal portion of the at least one second production well such that oil coming through the second production well will first go through the catalytic reactor for hydroprocessing.

International Classification:

C07C 27/00

US Classification:

518714

Abstract:

Enhanced mixed metal catalysts are provided which allow high conversions of carbon dioxide to methane, in some cases up to about 100% conversion. Methods of preparing enhanced mixed metal catalysts comprise a series of steps involving combining nickel and chromium salts with a nucleation promoter in a base environment to form a gel, allowing the gel to digest to form a solid and a mother liquor, isolating the solid, washing the solid, drying the solid, and thermally treating the solid to form a nickel-chromium catalyst. Methanation processes using the catalysts are also provided. The enhanced mixed metal catalysts provide more efficient conversion and lower operating temperatures for carbon dioxide methanation when compared to conventional methanation catalysts. Additionally, these enhanced catalyst formulations allow realization of higher value product from captured carbon dioxide.
